4th Annual Don Martin Silver Cup Pickem Contest

 
 
 

Welcome to the 4th Annual Don Martin Silver Cup Contest!! On Tuesday July 15, the World of Outlaw Sprint Cars take on the region’s best sprint car drivers with a few invaders in the mix for twin features at Lernerville Speedway.

For those not familiar, this is a unique format as the field will undergo traditional qualifying procedures for the first feature and for the second one, the field will be inverted (all cars on the lead lap) from their first feature finishes.

It can be a real challenge to pick this one, you’ve got to anticipate what will happen in the second feature. Will the top 5 be able to come back through a stout field to earn high scores for you? Or are you astute enough to select a mix of drivers that can at least win one feature and get top 5 finishes in both finals?

That’s what we’re gonna find out, and we’ll also give out some prizes and have a little fun too.
It’s time to add to our Hall of Fame in our DIRT racing Clairvoyant Society known as Lernerville Pickem.

Here we go!

Rules/Format:

1. You will select 2 drivers as quick time selections, they can be the same as anyone else’s. If either driver sets quick time, you have earned 10 points.

2. You will then select 3 drivers for EACH feature for a total of 6 drivers. One pick per entry must be different from everyone else’s. In other words, nobody can select the same 6 drivers (3 in each feature) as anybody else.

3. There are NO changes once you’ve made your selections!!!  Please choose carefully and do a little homework. Make sure they’re coming.

4. All entries must be made before 4PM on Tuesday July 15.

5. Entries are submitted as comments to this page. PP If the site is not working for you, simply tweet us @TheDirtNetwork and we’ll get your picks from you. Please ADD YOUR NAME to your picks if your name does not appear. If you log on as anonymous, it is very important!

Tiebreaker Procedure:

1. Average finish of feature selections
2. Time Trial selection average finish
3. Coin Toss
4. Should we still be tied after the coin toss (less than .000001% chance) We will play rock, paper, scissors until our hands go numb or somebody gives up!

Scoring:

1. 10 Points for a quicktime selection
2. 5 points for any of your six drivers that wins a heat
3. feature finishes for your six drivers will be scored as follows:

Win =20 points
2-5 = 15 points
6-10 = 12 points
11-15 = 9 points
16- make the show = 6 points

Prizes:

1st place: $25 Visa Gift Card and a place in our Hall of Fame!
2nd: A never worn, brand new, The DIRT Network Tshirt
3rd: $15 Subway Gift Card

  29. First of all, we want to say thank you to all of you that played! We had a record number of participants and we keep growing every year, because of you!

    The fun's not over yet, we've still got a battle to the finish in Lernerville Fab Four Pickem AND, we'll have a Commonwealth Clash Pickem in September PLUS a World Finals Pickem in November so stay tuned!

    This was a great contest and once again it came down to a few points. In the end Tyler Beichner, who'd been so close to the podium in other contests and Lernerville regular pickem seasons came through to score his first Pickem win! Jerin Steele and Ric Blevins rounded out the podium. Congrats to the three of you, this was a hard podium to be on top of!

    We're off this Friday, but we'll start our Lernerville Pickem Fab Four season back with the event on July 25th. Pickem thread will be up tomorrow night!
