You guys had better get to work on BMW's 59-point lead!

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 a small prize.
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!

There have been a couple changes to the pools...

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

Group B
M. Andretti
G. Rahal
H. Mutoh
D. Wheldon
T. Kanaan

Group C
R. Matos
R. Hunter-Reay
E. Carpenter
R. Doornbos
J. Wilson
P. Tracy

Group D
M. Duno
R. Antinucci
Conquest #34*
M. Conway
E. Viso
M. Moraes

*: Said car was entered with Tagliani, then removed. The entry list still says "22 entries", so I'm leaving this here in case that means they're not yet sure on the driver. Pick at your own peril!

Anyway, now for a brief interlude. It seems like I'm pretty good at picking drivers myself...

The real pity is that I failed to pick the first week of June. If I had, and maintained my average from the last three weeks of June, I would have won the monthly prize... ;_;

I made a slight change to the rules. Let's see if anyone notices!

I NEVER though I'd be happy to see the ICS leave ovals for awhile, but one good road course, a great street course at Toronto, and a decent airport course will be a nice change of pace!

the picks:
Group A - Dixon
Group B - Andretti
Group C - Wilson
Group D - Moraes
