Contest is for an Aged Sampler of 5 CC's. Running out of smokes so sorry this one is only for a 5-er.

Some changes for this final year.
1. You have to have been a member here for at least a year.
2. If you have won this before you can't play.
3. Submissions that are not the format listed below will not count.


Post here the top three finishers for the Grand Prix of Monaco, Indy 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. The winner will be the one who has all of the 3 race’s winners. In case of a tie I will go with the points awarded (see how I’ve done it before in attached thread) to each person's selections in each of the races (most correct). Good luck and the deadline is 05/26/17 at 5 PM EST. Please post in race order (i.e. Monaco, Indy, Coca-cola and then the top 3 for each race)

Good luck and have fun with it!!

Here is a link to last year's contest (with a link to the first years contest) if you are not up to speed on what this is about.

Not likely to happen but I'm hopping to see an American win at Indi, preferably in a Chevy.

Actually, they are my wife's picks.
SHE's the "motor head" in the family.

Knows MORE about racing than ANY guy I know . . . and I mean ALL forms of racing . . . NASCAR, INDY, F1, and Dirt Track as well.

If any of you guys are Tony Stewart fans, PM me and I'll direct you to the Facebook page she moderates.

Jespear's wife didn't make my picks but I would trust her to make all the winning picks.

I turned the 500 off when Alonso blew an engine, so disgusted with that result.

I've been corrected.
She prefers "gear head", as opposed to "motor head". d'oh!
