Racing Team Challenge - Segment #1 (Race #1)

[JKC]

Welcome to another running of the Racing Team Challenge!
This contest is open to anyone that wants to participate.

Here are the rules:

1. Pick 4 different drivers as your “team” that you think will have the best chance of finishing in the top 4 of the race. NO “TEAMS” CAN HAVE ONE DRIVER MORE THAN ONCE FOR A SINGLE RACE! HOWEVER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE, YOU CAN CHOOSE THE SAME DRIVERS EVERY WEEK. Also, please list the driver's full first and last name. I can not and will not be held responsible for the outcome if you just put the driver’s last name and there are more than one driver with that last name in the race.

2. The goal of this is to have the BEST average finish with the 4 drivers you pick.

Example: If someone picked the drivers that finished 2, 4, 10, 17 (average finish - 8.25) and if someone else picked the drivers that finished 6, 7, 12, 27 (average finish - 13). The one with the average finish 8.25 would win as it is the best.

Your best average finish can be 2.5 and your worst can be 41.5. So, as long as you participate, that is 39 spots one can gain or lose per race!

3. Picks and weekly tie breaker can be changed until the time listed below for qualifying. Any changes to your post after that will have you disqualified for the race.

4. Missing a race from this or getting disqualified will get you an average finish of 45.5. That is the average finish for positions 44, 45, 46, 47. So make sure you don’t miss a race or get disqualified!

5. There are of course tie breakers for this contest. For the segment and the overall standing, that will be determined by the number of wins, followed by second place finishes, third place, and so on and so forth. Also, since there is a weekly winner, a tie breaker for it is needed. The tie breaker to help determine the weekly winner is:

Without going over, where will Jeff Gordon finish in this race?

The weekly tie breaker will change per segment. Guesses for it will be first come first serve. So, please check everyone else's guess before making your own. IF EVERYONE GOES OVER, IT WILL BE THE CLOSEST BUT ONLY IF EVERYONE GOES OVER WITH THEIR GUESS.

6. The member that has the best average finish for each race will be awarded the weekly winner prize mentioned below. The member that has the lowest combined total from their average finishes for this segment will be awarded the segment prize mentioned below. The overall prize can be found on the standings and results thread (link located below).

7. Most important rule is to have fun doing this as well as watching the race.
