It looks like the car count dropped to 88, so 44 in each group ?

Alright ya peasants, we are officially a week away from the first test day at Indy! Let's step this smack talk game up again. I will get it started (again).

Kicera, you suck.
Steyn, you suck.
Drago, you cheat and you still suck. So you double suck.
Rollan, you are the slowest Cuban there. So you suck.
Haldeman ... you are cool, don't fight me.
Stearns...you are also cool, don't wreck me.
Collins...you are also cool, don't kill me.
Pardus...you are still the real deal. You don't suck.
Leverone...you are cool because you like Tom Brady. Go Pats!

But the rest of you suck.

Danica and P$ to the front!

:)


That's a lot of names you won't even be around on the track.

Oh Spencer, I am glad you chimed in.  You guys will love this.
 
Spencer has been trying to get me to bet him on something at Indy, and we all know I am not afraid of a bet.  However, I typically set my sights a little higher, ya know ... for the guys who really have a chance to win, or the guys that would be considered one of the favorites to win. I always know I am the underdog and I like it for the challenge and don't mind coming up short. For me, adding extra pressure to myself makes me perform better, and not just in racing. So me feeling like I am not a true underdog, at no offense to him, I shrugged off Spencer's multiple requests. SO TODAY ... Jim Drago starts a group chat with him, Spencer, and myself.  He said he wants to get in on a bet between Spencer and I.  He seems very confident that Spencer will out-qualify me, which now has me entertained because I can get Jim involved (which we already have a bet that he does NOT want to lose).
 
So Jim and Spencer are talking about money bets, and I'm not really interested in that. I tell them to come up with something better. They can't, but they are still feeling very confident spencer will out-qualify me, and Jim is basically begging me to bet him something on it. Knowing that I have a pretty good bet with Drago already that I really want to win, and also knowing that Drago isn't much of a drinker, I come up with a new bet.
 
My offer:  If I out-qualify Spencer Rutherford in the final grid, Jim Drago AND Spencer Rutherford have to get drunk as shit and go out with the us (Autotechnik), on Thursday night. Jim responds, "but that is the night before the race."  To which I reply, "exactly. How confident are you now? If you are that confident, bring it!".  Jim says, "Well ... that certainly has me rethinking ... Spencer? Feeling confident?  This is really effecting me!" 

 

Their counter offer is for me not to drink until I outqualify him which is just silly, because that wouldn't work in their favor. After multiple tries to ask for a deal, Jim is suddenly not as confident.  Jim is now getting cold feet once the tables have turned and he is even asking for a substitute drinker LOL. I think he is worried what he has gotten himself into here.  I told him that he started it by begging me to bet him something ;)
 
I have decided to ask, "What does Mazdaracers think?". Should Jim and Spencer take the bet? Is it too one sided, even with their confidence?  I told them their reward for Spencer out-qualifying me was that they will be sober for the Championship race. Is that not a fair trade after being begged?

 

Thank you in advance for your input. :)

Knowing full well I have only been "drunk" once since college and that was 2008 or 2009.   Don't think I have had more than 3-4 drinks in a month ever in last 25 years and never more than 10-12 a year.  Too one sided :) I was going to sober Thursday regardless :)

That's also not a big incentive for me since I will probably drink anyway

True, however...it is more about getting Jim drunk! Which, is actually a big incentive to all of us. Well, except for Kicera because he would beat Jim anyways :D

If Jim's car wasn't messed up after the crash someone caused during qualifying I think that race would have turned out a little differently
