First race of the 2002 season!:cool:

Recap of last year:47-30-1 A very nice year, hope the same this season


Sportsbooks who offer Cart Lines:

Olympic :who has released the championship odds, pole and winnner of the race.

Intertops: Not one of my book but hey do offer cart lines

WSEX? Well.... I called them and they told me they were reconsiderate if they will have or not Cart lines this year... seems they lost a few $$$ last year...:shrug: :rolleyes:

Others? If you guys know other sportsbooks please, LET US KNOW!!!!!! We will take whatever they offer!:D

Some Data:
Track Type
2.238-Mile
Permanent Road Course

TRACK STATS Time Mph
2001 Season
Defending Champion Max Papis 2:00:10.589
Defending Polesitter Gil de Ferran 1:08.596 117.453

Track Record
Fastest Lap 9/9/2000 Helio Castroneves 1:07.722 118.969
Fastest Total 9/7/1997 Jimmy Vasser 1:41:38.813 109.647

Qualifying 1 - Mar 8, 3:10 pm (eastern time)
Qualifying 2 - Mar 8, 2h45 pm(eastern time)

Race- March10, 4h00 pm (eastern time)

Penske team has left (Castroneves and Gil de Ferran) to IRL so what's next?

The offseason showed the advantage during practices of LOLA chassis so we might consider Da Matta at 7/1 OLY to win the championship. He was the fastest drivers during the most recent practices. Player's/Forsythe team is full and loaded and i expect a great season by our two locals Carpentier 8/1 and Tagliani 18/1. I will put a few $$$ on these 3 for the championship. The oddsmakers make Brack the favorite for the championship at 5/2 but i disagree. Yes, he is having a LOLA chassis but he is in a new team, need some time for chemistry to set. Amongst the 20 races this season, just 6 are oval and this is where he performed the best. Might hurt him in the long haul...

Good season to all!


:cool:

Thanks again for heads up. I may have to watch Cart a little closer this year. If you can get close to last year it would be very decent. I do thing the F1 will be a little harder. I get feeling some folks are waiting on this site to make there odds. Will just have to watch and see. Not that we can't get clever if need be.;)

Qualifying starts tomorrow!

I know we have no time to related for that track this year but the qualifying lines are up and i don't know for how long so here's my picks!:) All for 1 unit. No more! Can't bet the house without having seen some times no?:D These bets are made according to my feelings only because i have nothing to back them up for now. After tomorrow practices, if lines are still up, we might reconsider or add some more! BEWARE:p

Qualifying match ups:

C. Da Matta -110 over K. Brack

P. Carpentier -120 over Franchitti

A. Tagliani -115 over Junqueira

Servia -125 over Kanaan

C. Fittipaldi -115 over Tracy

:D

Keep a very close eye on Bet365! They are trying to price up anything that moves at the moment - they made an unbelievable mistake during the last GP - didn't leave anything to bet on in my opinion, but the logic was totally wrong!!:cool: :eek: However, if they do it again i'll let you know what (after I'm on ;) )

Personally, I'm on the Da Matta match, think they're betting singles only ?? Or am I doing something wrong!:shrug:

Roll on the weekend

Some of you who followed Cart last year might remember the qualifying was only saturday and divided in two groups. NOT ANYNMORE!!!:cool: As you seen in the first post there is a qualifying session today and another one tomorrow! How come:confused: Well, Cart has changed rules for this year and i really think for the best for fans following that series. Here's a summary of important changes:

For the qualifying on ROAD TRACK:
2 open qualifying session (one friday and one saturday) 1 hour each session (minimum of 45 minutes on green) and maximum of 15 laps.

If a driver cause a red flag or try to block or do 16 laps, his best time is taken out. The better driver of the first session gets a bonus point and is sure to start at the front row for the race (either first or second) whatever his qualifying times for saturday.

For the qualifying on OVAL TRACK:
The fastest drivers will qualifying last to keep the suspense til the end.

My guess is they will use the first qualifying session to make the grid for the second.

For the RACE: The rule of maximum 2 hours has changed (thank GOD!) to avoid like last year all the race that ended on yellow flag. They will extend to race to a certain point, to help finishing the race.

I think that's it! :)

WOW!:eek: What an exciting first session! Lead changed several times in the last minutes and who will start at the front row? The local Adrian Fernandez!:eek: As we stand, we're 2-2 and 0-1 for the prop but everything will be played tomorrow for the last qualifying session!:) Hope to see Da Matta up front!;)
