Hey Mess, if you have a buddy or buddies your watching the race with...
~Each put in $50 and do a blind draw of drivers.
~Just one friend. Each pick a driver in each row. You go first in Row 1 and then do a snake where he would go first in Rows 2 and 3 andd so on. Bet $10 head-to-head in each row (it will mostly even out. $100 bucks if you have the winner, $50 for second, $30 for third. $30 for most laps led and $10 for first driver out.
Get creative. Can be a lot of fun with a buddy or a group of friends.
