Quite reasonable, CB but not enough contrast I suspect.

Antony Davidson has just done a 1:31.353 on a hot and dusty Friday afternoon. We're all gonna have to reconfigure Those low 1min30's are looking very conservative now

Have you entered for 8nPole? There's still time to get your Bahrain picks in and we can all have a little ol' discussion about 'em on the 8nPole thread.

Happy posting and good luck

Thanks Snowy.

Oh yeah, I was entering in the days of 6nPole. Old school I know.

I'm gonna see what picking with my head instead of heart will prove this year for a change.

Nah, who am I kidding?

I'll chuck my picks up there now.

6'n'pole they never had that here?

Use the force Mark stretch out with your feelings

8 'n' Pole used to be 6 'n' Pole when only the top 6 scored points. This competition dates back to 2001 and Mark ( good to see you posting your picks here Mark) has been in it since then (I think!)

Prediction for Pole is now closed. Good luck tomorrow!

That's right! You don't get a userid in the low 300s by being a Johnnie-come-lately

Yes but I checked the membership list and the earliest anybody joined was 19 Jan 2005 I don't get it What happened in 2005 I wonder? Was there no Forum back then?:busy:

There were some remarkably close calls there wasn't there. The names may have been a bit out but Jupiter and CB619 your times were only a whisker away from reality. I was a second too quick on all of 'em but I didn't allow for the change in wind direction which you obviously did.

However I think we all deserve a pat on the back almost everyone was in the ball park and we didn't really have anything to go on did we.

Malaysia is gonna be a whole lot closer and more interesting I'd wager

It sounds confusing but the memberlist you are referring to is the Forum memberlist and that started on the 19th of January 2005. The members for 8 'n' Pole are different (although one can be in both of course) and that started in 2001.

Ah hah
