It's double trouble weekend as the Turn 3 Racing Series get's ready for it's All Star Weekend. Since there will only be 22 starters in the race, all race winners, or previous winners, past champions, etc, we know that there will be some good competition. So as a result, it's double point weekend

21 2009 Sprint Showdown 2nd place finisher ?
22 Fan Vote Winner ?

Also note that the numbers on the extreme left do note represent the starting positions. There is a qualifying session that takes place friday that determines that.


And the way the race works...
* Segment 1: 50 laps with a mandatory green-flag pit stop on Lap 25 at which time teams must pit and take on four tires. Following the end of Segment 1, the caution flag will be displayed for an optional pit stop.
* Segment 2: 20 laps with the caution flag displayed at the end of Segment 2 for an optional pit stop.
* Segment 3: 20 laps with a 10-minute break at the end of Segment 3. Teams may make normal adjustments to their cars during this break. The finishing order after the third segment determines the final starting positions for the fourth and final segment.
* Segment 4: 10-lap shootout with only green-flag laps counting.

Great week for someone new to the series to get involved.

Edit Note. I can't edit the first post anymore, so double check the posts in order to avoid picking someone that has already been picked.

Last 10 lap segment of the race is underway, and if you're not watching it, you are missing out.
Think This only at a bigger stage.

ummm, I want to make sure I didn't mess up the points. I know it said double points, but were the bonus points still in play? If so, I didn't add them in. DK should get 5 more points for Johnson leading the most laps and I should get 5 more points for Stewart winning. If there were no bonus points due to the double points, then carry on.

[Foster]

Yes 5 and 5 would be used here.

[Providence A's]

OK, I'll adjust the points that I totaled for today's race.
