Pocono

[captjohn67]

25-32 (+.085) another tough luck 1-3 last time out. With the passing of Clauson recently and Justin Wilson losing his life here last year, this has the makings of a rather somber weekend. Props to Dale Coyne for the tribute to Clauson, sharp looking ride

Stats

will ramble toughts later, but certainly hoping they disrespect Munoz, and they probably will

Career stats, nice overview of big picture

Just this year

http://racing-reference.info/yeardet/2016/O

 

[captjohn67]

Munoz +1600 (.05) was hoping for +2000 or better, but good enough

Power +700 (.10) on fire, 1st or 2nd in last 5 races

Aleshin +5500 (.01)

Rossi +7500 (.01)

 

[captjohn67]

I get the Montoya number due to his dominance in 500's, but just a shit year makes it unplayable for me. Marco with a damn respectable +2250 when I would have pegged a +4400 makes it a pass as well. Matchups soon hopefully.

 

[captjohn67]

Munoz -110 Hinch

Kimball -115 Carpenter ( I should hammer this)

Power -115 Kanaan

 

[captjohn67]

Make the Kimball two units. Now we need track time.

 

[captjohn67]

Newgarden -130 RHR - current form play, RHR is having his worst season since 2009. First practice session starting shortly.

 

[captjohn67]

RHR destroys the chassis that won the Indy 500. Kimball also finds the wall but can't find video yet. Indycar struggles with their live feeds a lot so having to use Twitter for info. RHR worried about the integrity of the tub. Toss that empty in the trash I guess.

Montoya also found the wall in the practice session. Results

Aleshin grabs his first career pole. Good for him. I think the crazy Russian has a real shot tomorrow. Need to see the final session in a few hours and then we can firm things up. Qualifying...

Good Luck , Bud :cheers3:

thanks Wise. Hoping Kimball finds a little more speed in this last session and then I'll be alright with how I'm sitting.

 

[captjohn67]

Kimball didn't show me much, so concerned with that wager. Results from the final session and the forecast looks even worse than yesterday, so not so sure this will happen today

[captjohn67]

Numbers are back up. I'm not sure I understand the Kimball going to -135 v Carpenter other than Ed has two top 10s in his last nine races. I would reverse those numbers. I also think Newgarden +750 and Power +1150 offer the most if you're playing to win. That's about all I have left to comment on as I think everything else is in line. Hope they keep it clean and GL if you're involved.

 

[captjohn67]

Rescheduled for tomorrow at 11am CDT. Bummer

 

[captjohn67]

Bought back a unit on the Kimball play, got Carpenter +100. I rarely second guess myself but the final session bothered me and think it's the right move. I have no problem with Munoz being the fav, now (+500), but you have to question what the hell they're thinking with the matchup with Hinch being -115 and Hinch being +1250 to win. Pretty windy today and cooler temps. One of the best tracks they run in the series imo so enjoy the show.

 

[captjohn67]

I threw a little on Munoz . Good Luck , Bud :cheers3:

i knew years ago he would be hell on ovals when he almost won his first Indy at +4000. He has been oh so close but hasn't been able to finish it. Let's hope that day is today. Win or lose, really just want them to stay clean. GL

 

[captjohn67]

Man I hope that's not an early sign of how things are going to go today. Sato looks ok but that was a brutal lick on lap 3.
