So was it 18 or 78 that won the first stage? I didn't see the race, actually had some time to work on the Dodge.

Hey all -
I just received a PM from 'cuda20' (FABO) letting me know he "is in camp working and" his "internet is hit or miss at best".
That's why I didn't receive any Sonoma race picks from him.
To be fair, I carried over his previous race (Michigan) picks as "locked" and will carry his picks forward unless he's able to get an internet connection and post new Pole or Race picks.
I also asked him to let me know when he's through with "camp work" so I can unlock his picks.
It's the same thing I'd do for any of the players in the game. Please let me know if anyone has any 'heartburn' over this.

See Post #116 for the revised game standings.

 

[Budnicks]

Man going backward this season...

Let's change it up some, what the hell
Kevin Harvick & Jimmy Johnson for "Locked In" race picks
Dale jr. for pole "locked in" for now too

I can't do any worse I hope...

 

[ocdart]

Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO), 'DFootCuda' (FABO) and 'ocdart' (FABO) for correctly picking #88 Dale Earnhardt Jr. to win the Coke Zero 400 Pole for Saturday's race at Daytona. Each picked up -1 bonus point.

 

[alsant]

Way to go Bud and Ocdart !!
