Where’s the 7ny and Casella’s 25?
Doug;
As i always pick nocella to show, i think bad karma to change picks.
But, i did want to ask you, coby. Who is he practicing for in the 33? Thank you.
I can do “what if”.
If you Bobf had picked Nocella in a last minute bid in place of the 1 your score would have tied you with Fast Eddie for third at 23 since Blewett would have been dropped as the Mulligan instead of the 1. Fast Eddie stays on the podium however since his Mulligan beats yours.
I was concerned with this Pick 6 seeing so many entrants looking a lot alike. The system worked however as Suitcase Jake’s clinker of Blewett just barely beats the other 4 tied for first who picked the no show Rocco.
Fast Eddie, the only one to pick the winner and had the best score by far including all 6 picks is the podium winner that lost the most coming in third based on the “Mulligan” he contributed to the Pick 6 rule. A critical rule by the way so chalk it up the “that’s racing”.
The 33ct was a throwback car honoring Wade Cole, apparently practiced by Doug Coby but driven by Austin Bessette.

A certain symmetry between Cole and Bessette for sure. Cole the guy whose main claim to fame in the NWMT was showing up for races over many years and beating Fifield at the end. Bessette near as I can figure not ready at all for the tour modified level with his time not remotely close to the level Coby got the car to and the worst in the feature by far.
Tell you what I learned as a participant in picking races. Pay attention. Leaving out Dowling at Stafford was a blunder but the biggest was picking both Rocco and Blewett and here’s the reason why. Rocco’s participation has been sketchy in Stafford opens and Blewett can be fast but it not the most reliable guy in finishing races. It’s better to pick drivers with a history of showing up and finishing. Trying to pick a rabbit out of a hat is hard enough. When you try to pick two out more times then not gets you low score so lesson learned.
