We're back to our Friday discussions! We know we're a little late with our picks, since the season's already begun, but we've decided on a friendly competition. You're all welcome to play along!
Here's how it will work. We'll each make picks in the categories below, and we'll check in monthly to see how each of us is doing, based on actual earned points/places for our picks. At the end of the seasons, we'll see who made the best predictions and ... well, the winner should get a prize. Maybe someone will have a good suggestion.

Note: Since NASCAR has the stupid-ass Chase, we ought to get to pick a driver again once that field is set.
I see that you're with me in IndyCar, Rick! I like that. And man, I can't disagree with you in ALMS GT, but I really don't want BMW to win again. :-( I know I picked some names out of sentiment and hope, not expectation. Such is the lot of a fan!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of picking again at the start of the Chase. I'll note your picks with ours and we'll check in again in a month!
