Get there early for FIJI and DG, around lunchtime for BKB, the Cutters and Teter and at 4p for the drama of the third attempts and to see if Phi Psi can make a late run for the pole. Always the best day of the year!
Race day is way better!

Gray Goat
Sleeper Team

Cutters
Also, two questions for discussion...
1. Will the women's pole be fast enough to qualify for the men's race?? (FYI - Teter set a new women's quals record last year and would not have made men's field)
2. Will ZBT finally qualify??
No.
ReplyDeleteYes.
Mens quals:
ReplyDelete1.) Grey Goat
2.) Cutters (sorry no green)
3.) PDT
4.) BKB
5.) FIJI
6.) Sleeper
Guys,
ReplyDeleteyou're missing one of the best quals teams every year and they are fast and experienced.
Phi Psi!
My random attempt at this thing; if it's anything like my NCAA bracket, just take my picks and do the opposite:
ReplyDelete1) GGS
2) Cutters
3) DU
4) Phi Psi
5) PDT
6) FIJI

Ya, go with the last one.
ReplyDeletegoldberg is going to carry the team on his back this year!!!
ReplyDeletePhi Psi looked fast in practice this PM even if like 80% of the teams they couldnt do a non-foul quality attempt! For what it's worth LAMP (m) had the best exchanges of the first hr! Dark horse!
ReplyDeleteGG for the pole? No way! They are a major threat for the race but they aren't built for quals and I doubt it's a goal of theirs.
ReplyDeletePhi psi, phi delts, fijis and Cutters will all be ahead of them.

phi psi
top 3 in that order
Cutters will get pole this year. I'm going to guarantee it if it's clean. Young will break the track record on his first lap by a half second.
ReplyDeleteWoj
I think Eric has a good shot at breaking the track record, but I don't think the Cutters will take the poll. Too unbalanced.
ReplyDeleteWithout putting my own team in the top three, I predict
Phi Delts, GG, Cutters
Jordan
Cutters threw down a nice run today I hear; any truth to this or is the Cutter ego translating over to this as well?
ReplyDeleteHoosier Climber is my sleeper team. They practice more than any team I have noticed. I love exchanges and they really push the limit.
ReplyDeletePrediction: despite the afternoon wind picking up a bit more throughout the day on Saturday, the track will be slow in the morning and the fastest times will be posted later in the day when the track is better packed after today's rain. Advantage: GDIs and a handful of frat teams. Sorry "F1J1." But not really.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure that there is a record on the line. The timing of individual laps throughout the years has been sporadic at best. It is my understanding that there is no plan to time individual laps this year either. I agree that Young may very well break the “record” this year – but it is a bit of an unofficial record to begin with.
ReplyDeleteI rode a 28 second lap the other day that I counted out in my head. Does that make me fast?
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteIt also makes you retarded because you didn't do a 28 second lap
ReplyDeleteI think that I might have seen you do that lap. You were flyin. You reminded me of a skinny Zachary Lusk!
ReplyDeleteIf I were to attempt to do something and knew I couldn't fail I would ride Little 5 for the Cutters!! GO CUTTERS!!
ReplyDeleteNot even a skinny Lusk could ride a 28 second lap. Not sure if he could do it in the pace car either.
ReplyDeleteMy Prediction for quals this weekend
Cutters
GG
Phi Delt
FIJI
Phi Psi
BKB

To the extent it matters, Lusk is a non factor, Young and Feldman are the ones you guys need to worry about.

Sideshow Clayton will be riding one of the tiny little clown bikes everyone else is riding. I hope he brought his horn, he's 6'3.
ReplyDeleteI can't ride a 28 second lap nor do I think it's possible. Maybe if I lose a couple more poinds I might be able to drop a 35 but I eat way too much McDonald's for that...I'm okay with it though I've got a good team around me
ReplyDeleteIf you rearrange the letters in Zach Lusk you come up with the phrase La Husky Czar. Go Cutters!
ReplyDeleteWoj
Fastest lap I ever timed was the last lap of the 1991 race. Noverr, Hubbard, Lance all CAT1 riders, the last (legal ones)in Little 500. Noverr wins with a 29.8 and the three jockeyed around until turn two and then sprinted to the finish.
ReplyDeleteFirst, I'm 6'4
ReplyDeleteAnd as always Tom the Timer comes out to spoil everyone elses fun by dropping numbers all over the place.
See you all tomorrow at the track.
-Clayton
6'4 with your big hair and clown stilts on.

Youn was 30.1 with an exchange

ReplyDeleteThe Cutters are the favorite.
The way Cutters are talking, you'd think they were smashing the track record with their practice attempts...
ReplyDeleteYa never know!
ReplyDeleteTrack conditions will dictate everything tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteSlow track: slow scrubby teams with clean exchanges with overachieve
Fast track: The cream with rise to the top
...however, no track records will fall this year (sorry folks)
...of course I put nothing out of reach of Mr. Young. He may yet set an (unofficial) lap record for a quals run.
"The way Cutters are talking, you'd think they were smashing the track record with their practice attempts..."
ReplyDeletefor the most part, it doesn't seem like the Cutters are really talking all that much. it's everyone else talking -about- them. as for the 2nd part of that statement and talk of breaking a record...
30.1
are you kidding me, 95% of the posts on the internet have come from cutters ip addresses over the past month. I saw these stats in the news
ReplyDelete98% of statistics are made up. i'm not kidding! besides, i may not always be right, but i'm never wrong.
ReplyDeleteSNSM - oh the conundrum in that post.
