Nascar 2016

Such a victim.

But don't worry, with modern technology you no longer have to sit at home to follow the race!

I'm not saying I'm a victim. I'm saying you're being a douchecanoe.
"Modern Technology" doesn't work in the backcountry. No cell coverage, no internet and I'm not carrying a transistor radio into the woods. Besides, troop has a policy of no tech in the woods, and we adults follow the same rule as the kids.
Make the picks before the race starts and be done with it. You can't change your bets in horse racing once they leave the starting gates. Vegas won't give you a do-over on your picks when Danica goes into a wall.
 
My standing picks for 2016

Kevin Harvick win
Kyle Busch
Joey Logano
Jimmie Johnson
Matt Kenseth

once chase starts add: Brad K and Carl Edwards

Thanks, I will check back in November.

Good. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!

That's your choice, stop crying about it.

Forgive me for making a suggestion to maybe lighten up our forum ! I just don't see the sense in watching lets say Denny Hamlin BLOW his engine on lap 35 , with him has one of your NON WIN picks and knowing its a WASTED Pick . Having the chance to drop him before HALF WAY mark & adding a replacement sounds good . IF someone is not WATCHING and can't take advantage of change , TOUGH LUCK ! You live with your choice . I just believe(IMO) those WATCHING race should have that choice !

How about a Timmy Hill bonus? Kinda like the Danica bonus. If Timmy is one of your picks and he finishes in the Top 25, you get 5 bonus points.

So I can watch the race on my smartphone without having to be a Sprint customer and without having to have COMCAST cable?

As the past Champ for the last TWO years. Im not for the change during the race, too many other things happening in peoples lives to be sitting for 3-4 and even 5 hours for a race to start or finish because of a weather delay. There are other sports going on also, Nats, Caps and O's. I'd like to see the 25 point Danica bonus be dropped. maybe extra 5 points, 5 points for Timmy Hill would be nice because he is a SoMd native.
You can be a 'real fan' even if don't sit for hours to watch the race.
huntr1 is gone just about every weekend, I go past his house many times in my travels, and all his camping stuff is always gone. Its great that he has the inspiration and the desire to help young kids who are interested in the good ole Boy Scout fundamental's it keeps them off the streets and out of all the evil things that sometimes make good kids bad kids.
Im just saying don't get after people that have other things in their lives that may take them away from watching a race. We don't need to be upsetting the apple cart and have people leaving this racing forum, we have so few now.

Oh Im a old guy, I don't have all the fancy newest equipment to keep updated on everything. I tell everyone Im not smart enough to own a Smartphone. I do carry a phone but its at least 10 years old. lol

Thanks OHG. :buddies:

So there you have it. 3 past champs, covering 5 (or is it 6) years, saying "No" to in-race changes. Don't fuck with the system. It's working. Doing the minor (5-10) point bonus for the super wild card drivers (timmy hill/danica) winning is something that has gone on for a couple of years off an on, so that's fine.

Not WHINNING, and it was not a sermon just a thought. lol Some people have more to life then sit by the TV have a beer and pretzels and watch a race for at least 4 hours. Especially on a Sunday afternoon in the summer. Then at least in my old kntting group hockey, baseball and football then comes NASCAR as to what I watch first. My remotes wear out from switching.

YOU are the one whinning, not us. An idea for a rules change was presented and the majority of respondents have voted it down. No change to the pick rules. You lose. Suck it up and move on.
