This week’s Trifecta is all road courses,
all on Sunday, all over the world and all in open wheel race cars. That’s right; this week will have nothing to
do with NASCAR. As the cup teams are off
preparing for the Brickyard. We will be focusing our attention on arguably the
3 premier open wheel divisions in the world.
First up the Formula 1 cars are
at Nurburgring for the European Grand Prix.
It starts at 8:00 AM EST. Second is the IRL race at
Mid-Ohio. It starts at 1:30 PM EST. Third is the Champ car race in Edmonton
as they race at the airport race track set up there. The most interesting challenge for our
contestants might be finding a T.V. station to watch the final race on. If you are able to catch it let us know where
we can see it.
I do imagine that a winner in each race will be picked and
we could be looking at a record low score weekend for someone but I just wanted
to let you all know there will be a large asterisk (nothing like Barry Bonds
will have though) beside that record because of the few number of cars involved
in the Trifecta. This week we are
looking at about 60 cars in total. Last week
the total was 97. Picks are due before the first race on Sunday morning. Rules for picking doubles still
apply. 5 for one, 10 for two and 15 for three.
There is no carry over bonus this week as there is no cup car action. Good luck to all.
Congratulatio ns to Dave_in_Indy winning the Great Canadian Trifecta on June 10 2007. His blog "A Partially Able Mind" is a collage of sports info and a must for anyone interested in the Indianapolis 500 or the IRL. Congratulatio ns to JayJayDean, winner of the 2007 MonsterMile Trifecta on June 05, 2007. He has a great blog analyzing NASCAR's points system called JJD's NASCAR and other stuff blog. Congrats need to go out to 14Falcons, the 2007 winner of the Memorial Day weekend Trifecta. Every race fan needs to check out his blog, Kierkegaard's Stages. As for me, i am just another racing fan, from Canada, with opinions like every one else. other than racing i love Dave Matthews Band, playing guitar and all sports in general. favorite drivers include Jeff Gordon, Jeff Burton, and Dale Jarret. favorite sports teams are Toronto Raptors, Montreal Canadiens, Notre-dame football, Chicago Bears, Syracuse basketball.
