Is this for sure this time? Have you been imbibing rb? I just want verification-in triplicate- before I make an ass out of myself- again.
Procedural question that I just thought of rb: If a guy wins the pole, but must start in the back for some reason or another, do those that picked him still get the bonus points? I'm pretty sure they would. Just curious. Appreciate it, rb.
