TK: Listen Helio!!! I am ready for Dancing With the Stars. Hook me with Julianne.

Helio: You want to dance? You buy me 3 slurpees every week.

TK: On a second thought, I will buy 2 tickets to Silverstone. Executive class, so we can
steal the Batmobile and Bat Cycle.

Helio: Convince me!!!!

TK: Here are the photos.


Helio: We have to do something about Jarno. ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.274233 2008-07-05T06:48:19Z LoveAllRacing tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.272491 2008-07-03T12:19:05Z crisptito
I hope he does come back. The IRL has lost momentum of late that they had with Danica, Rahal and the overall merger. It could use a spark. ]]> tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.273792 2008-07-04T11:05:44Z ColdSpiderGT tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.273992 2008-07-04T15:03:55Z EarlofSpeed tag:speedtv.com,2008:forums/viewthread/.272183 2008-07-03T08:17:12Z TelegramTrophyRace

1. Dixon
2. Castro-Neves
3. Wheldon
4. Kanaan
5. Patrick
6. Mutoh
7. Andretti
8. Briscoe
9. Servia
10. Carpenter
11. Power
12. Viso
13. Hunter-Reay
14. Foyt
15. Miera

- I think the top 4 is set. There's a 49 point gap between 4th and 5th, which will be too big to overcome. So all that remains is the order of the top four.

- 50 points seperate 5th thru 13th. This is where the major jockeying will occur. And only 10 points seperate 5th thru 8th.

- Wilson and Rahal are two and four points, respectively, behind Meira in 15th with the road courses coming up.

So here is my prediction for the final standings:


1. Dixon - best team and driver this year
2. Castro-Neves - smooth and consistant, but not enough to catch Dixon
3. Kanaan - crashes cost him - 82 points is too much to make up
4. Wheldon - a little too inconsistant
5. Andretti - shows his talent on the road courses, but can't make up for the early crashes
6. Briscoe - top 5 contender at most races
7. Viso - great car control and fearless, paired with Cannon, he'll be on a podium
8. Power - better on the road courses than his more consistant team mate
9. Hunter-Reay - RLR is gelling, and he cut his teeth in Atlantics
10. Servia - will challenge for top tens, but not podiums
11. Patrick - outclassed by the CC guys, but won't make mistakes and will bring the car home
12. Wilson - will challenge for a couple top fives, but NHL plays it conservative
13. Carpenter - hangs on to the top 15 with consistant mid-pack finishes
14. Rahal - still making rookie mistakes and trying too hard
15. Mutoh - he's kind of an unknown here, can't rely on aero and AGR setups ]]>
