“Official” IndyCar Pool: Richmond

Wow, this is easy. Same entry list and everything... No way I'm letting you guys get Scheckter in Group D again, though.

The rules, for those imaginary new competitors:

1. I will divide the ICS field into four groups, ordered (from best to worst) A, B, C, and D (and E and F for Indianapolis only). These groups will be determined by a combination of points, subjective observations, questionable analysis, shaky conclusions, and random guessing. They may (and will) change throughout the season as drivers do, but I will not attempt to separate oval and road course performance and groups.
2. Everyone who wants to play must select one driver per group per race (well, you don't have to do every race, or every group for that matter, but both are highly recommended!). The only restriction is that you cannot choose the same driver for two consecutive races. This applies even if I switch the groups around and you end up quite restricted in one group.
3. Points are quite simple: your points are the same as the combined ICS points for all four of your drivers. Highest at the end of the season wins... something
4. Picks are due when qualifying starts. However, each competitor may, once during the season, submit their picks late (any time before the start of the pace laps). This will be tracked and reported here.
5. Rules are subject to change without notice!

And the pools. Can you say "copy/paste"?

Group A
S. Dixon
D. Patrick
H. Castroneves
R. Briscoe
D. Franchitti

Group B
D. Wheldon
T. Kanaan
M. Andretti

You should know where to find your picks from last week, results, etc. If you don't, PM me.

SPECIAL BONUS: Richmond has often produced crash-filled races. So, to help break up the monotony of identical entry lists, I'm having another bonus event.
-Predict the number of caution flags during the Richmond race. In the case of a dispute, the final number will be the one listed in the indycar.com box store. The winner(s) will be the person or people closest to the actual number, and will win 10 bonus points. There's no downside to guessing, so guess away!
