Guess the Pole 2021 - USA (Round 17) [+Results]

[XcraigX]

This years the US GP is back on the calendar and should be interesting. Especially as the governor of Texas has forbidden mask AND vaccination mandates. Anything goes in that state, so may the odds be ever in your favor if you attend in person!

In the meantime, there are stories of the track starting to deteriorate in the Texas sun. Supposedly the bumps around the circuit are getting much worse. How will this affect lap times? Get your thinking hats out because it's time to Guess the Pole!

Also, I can't wait to see Ricciardo drive the #3 Earnhardt stock car around the track. I wonder what kind of lap time he can get out of it?

Hi Craig -

Sure. I sent you a PM as my email has been getting alot of spam and I don't open new notes in general. I'll send you a private message (at the top right corner of the forum screen) with the details.

Sorry I'm late getting my guess in this round, life here has been full of crap and stres lately and just when you think you can't cope, some more drops on you

Nice to see you playing @DownForce, good luck my sweet!!!

According to the forecast there is a chance of thunderstorms! Not good for making a prediction is it? Anyway, I'll put mine in now.

Thanks @Star for the subtle nudge. I fixed the weather link. It's working now.

I promise you @XcraigX I wasn't nudging you in any way. I honestly didn't even try the link, I just google and look at more than one forecast as they often vary so much.
