what's up with this 1a craziness ?
wtf !!!
Now imagine if you suddenly had something come up and could not at all possibly get back here in time to fix your pics (maybe aliens abduct you and keep you for two days)... What happens if then Newman wins... How does dara score that ?
Is it suppose to be a guessing game or a decision made on dara's part ?
It's 4 choices per ballet, with the option to change before race time. This ain't the USA elections, this is serious chit !
If I were dara, I'd score it as a zero and place your Crew Chief under a 5 race suspension !


:eek:
you sure you want to see me bite ?


lol... okay, please take all that with a smile on your face as I was only jiving you.
But fix your pics before them aliens come to your house and zap you away for a day or two :eek:
