Will update record sometime later today. Last two have helped me dig out. Will be a Pagenaud or Power race but they'll be short again like the Indy Grand Prix. Will be interesting to see how Dixon performs after that wild ride and Servia might be worth a peek.

Qualifying is Friday and it's 50% rain and it's a doubleheader. Saturday looks ok but Sunday looks shitty. Might tread lightly and concerned they might have to make the grid on points so have to keep that in mind.

Just in case the point standings play in setting the grid. Interesting that Helio is the only one with all top 10's

The good news is today and tomorrow's weather looks a lot better, the bad news is they won't post any damn numbers. They seem to do this at least one race a year and I always like to try and get ahead of the number but oh well. I'm guessing after practice today but who knows

3 Penskes in the top 5, Dixon spins out but doesn't touch anything, and Rahal surprisingly tops the first session

Practice 2

http://www.racer.com/indycar/item/141119-castroneves-fastest-in-second-detroit-practice

qualifying in a little bit and the perceived value play to win would be Rossi +1650 and/or Rahal +1350 but I'm passing. Just two bullets for me

Hildebrand -110 Jones

RHR -105 Hinch

tomorrow is going to be the clusterfuck where I'll probably fire some long shots . GLTA

Qualifying

wish I had played the Rossi and Rahal to win but you know what they say about hindsight. I think the Rahal -195 Rossi and Hinch -270 RHR are too steep fwiw. Passing on everything. GLTA

Race 2 qualifying

servia -130 Gutierrez ....if not for a pit speed penalty he would have beat him yesterday. Don't care for a lot of exposure due to the weather. I almost played Rossi +320 Sato just because Sato and Rahal starting beside each other could spell disaster. Always nice to see one of the small teams win and Rahal earned it yesterday, he was dominant. Have a good one
