The Undy 500 by Hanes
« on: May 24, 2011, 09:14:32 PM »
The Hanes company was recently looking into sponsoring some motor sports related events. Problem though is the Nomex suits drivers wear prevent product tie in. As soon as our marketing dept. heard of this they knew they had a winner. C'mon at some point you have been there in your living room sitting around in your boxers racing online. When we pitched that scenario to the Hanes people they jumped at the chance to work together.

Here are the details this Friday at Indy Motor Speedway in Formula GT cars 200 laps tire choice is open. Ten mins of  qualifying followed immediately by the race will begin at 8:30  

Being as it is a Tuna event it needs a Tuna twist each driver entering the event will declare their real life pick to win the Indy 500 on Sunday. Your driver's finish and your finish spots will be added together to decide our winner. For example I choose Marco Andretti he finishes 5 I finish 4 my total score is 9, Brindle picks Scott Dixon who finishes 1 and Brindle finishes 4 his total would be 5. Lowest score wins.

I know this is short notice but a few of us talked about it and I thought I would toss it out there.

Here are the names I have so far;
Baked   Vitoria Meira
Spitfuk  Ryan Briscoe
Thunfisch  Danica
Ronin   Dario Franchiti
dlrws  John Andretti
nosoks Takuma Sato
Charlie   Pippa Mann
Rick   Will Power
NinjaTuna Scott Dixon

If these are wrong please let me know before Friday at 8pm.

I'll jump in on this, I'm not much for IRL but I am sure I can come up with a Indy driver to team up with.

So...Are we supposed to call our drivers here or wait until the event?

I was slow pulling the trigger with this one thinking someone else would be doing something.

Good question Ronin I would like for everyone to declare their real life counterpart by Friday at 8 PM here in this thread. And real life drivers can be chosen by multiple Undy drivers.

Since I know next to nothing about IRL, I took the amount of drivers (33) and entered it into a random number generator.  It generated the 16th spot which on the starting grid is Helio Castroneves. 

Good enough for me.   :-\

I was going to go with Hélio Castroneves but I got beat to the punch so I'll go with Dario Franchitti

Dario Franchitti is my final answer Regis.

I'll go with John Andretti.  In all reality I think he has no chance of winning. In fact I doubt he'll make it past lap 100. But I can't help but like and root for the vintage Gordon Johncock/Richard Petty/STP livery on his car.

I'll go with Pippa because I like her ride...   (otherwise I'd go Dainca because I'd like to ride her...)

Then I would love to have Danica. And I as well would love to pound that shit!
