FANTASY CHALLENGE: Sprint Cup Samsung 500 @ Texas

I was thinking the same thing. That's why I'm waiting to make my picks. Not that I have any inside information or anything.

We should bar everyone from picking Jeff, Jimmie and Junyer.

Oh my, who would everyone pick then?

Ahhhh... but in your own words ... they havent won a race yet !!!!!!!!!

Yeah, but because everyone is picking them every week, it's not shaking the points up. :shrug:

Then pick Harvick, Burton, Bowyer and the rest of them every week , it would still be same drivers .. just not the usual we have now

We're trying to make this as user-friendly as possible, but it's really when everybody picks the same drivers every week.

Notice how I pick a darkhorse or two each week: Juan Montoya for instance (who I said would win at Infineon and 22 other people disagreed).

On another note, I'm glad we're seeing so many different winners this year. Best season in racing since 1994, imo.

It's a shame I'll miss Phoenix, but I love me some IHRA Pro-Am racing.

Ummm I had an idea to fix this nightmare .. but our arrogant self proclaimed Bill France said he didnt wanna hear anything until theres a change on how we watch NASCAR on tv ( who freakin cares ! ).

I never said I don't want to hear anything. PM me with your suggestion and we'll consider it.

I never said I don't want to hear anything until the Summer Series, I said we were going to look back and see what changes should be made. In fact, that process has already begun.

Arrogant self proclaimed Bill France ... I loved that quote. Priceless.

I'm going to be the arrogant self proclaimed Auntie Vrai on this quote, and reply by saying...if you don't like how the game is run, don't play. :shrug:

I made suggestions to Andy that I thought would be pretty cool, but at the same time, we need something that's easy to keep the score straight. This is the first season of this, and we're still working out the glitches.

There's no money involved, so I don't see why you get so bent about it. It's supposed to be for fun.

I do apologize nachomama ..sorry : ( its just Andy doesnt seem to want to accept advice or an opinion until there a change on how we watch it on tv.. like that makes any difference.
My idea was we can only pick one driver from a team .. sure would avoid this fiasco. I get blunt simply because Andy says hes Bill France, and thats it . Like it or leave it .. but then complains himself !
But no, i am sorry if I am offending anyone !!

Well, kinda what I suggested was that we each could pick 2 drivers out of the top 10, and a driver who is ranked 11-20; 1 driver ranked 21-30 and another driver ranked 31-40. Or something like that. But it could get too hard on the scorekeeper and everyone else to try and make sure that everyone's playing in compliance. :shrug:

Bill France was always open to advice.

I said in a previous fread, and in this fread that if you have advice on how to better the experience to PM me.

BTW, I actually like that idea.

I guess it bares repeating - I don't want to impliment any significant changes until the TNT Summer Series. But, I DO like that idea.

Because I like to leave things relatively loose. This is for fun, and I don't want to be the great dictator by listing out a thousand rules limiting choices.

If you would've PM'd that idea, we definently would've considered it.

The only problem with it is that not everybody on here is as big a racing fan as we are. Some people think Harvick drives for DEI, others think Mark still drives for Roush. Could get confusing, but I do like the idea and if I were you, I'd expect that to be in the rule book by the time we get to Pocono, in fact, maybe sooner.

 

[Harvick29]

WHAT ! Now how could anyone mistake Kevin Harvick haha ... I do hope someday he drives for KHI .. that would be awesome. In the meantime I hope RCR picks up Bobby Labonte as the 4th member for next year. I heard a rumor that Elliot Sadler was also a possibility.

Speakin of Harvick .. I got another package in the mail from him of some stuff from KHI.

Not to mention all the driver changes that take place during silly season.

 

[OldHillcrestGuy]

Someday you and I should get together, have a few beers and watch a race

Yeah we know are racing we are first and second in points and we havent picked a winner yet to get Andy's 25 point bonus.
Heck once we do pick the winner Andy will go and change the rules.

 

[nachomama]

Tony Stewart - Winner
Jeff Burton
Kasey Kahne
Carl Edwards
Kurt Busch

As much as I want to go with the Hendrick guys, I'mma see how I do without them.

Well Harvick29 we won't have to worry about being caught by nacho this week since no Hendricks car were picked.

I'm the only with with balls big enough to not pick them. :bigballs=smallbrain:
