WHAT HAPPENED TO JUNE!!!!!


I'm sorry particiapants....some of June got away from me. We skipped the Crash League altogether on Fathers Day, and did a trial run of a Nationwide Race RoadCourse race for another, and then there was a week where the data is just everywhere...two different computers, an email account, and it turned out to have only 2 crashes... (sounds like Loudon? Well it was). I may be able to pull all the data back for that, but I may just be able to post the winner.

I am attempting to use a new all computerized method of keeping track of picks, scoring, etc, and it may have had a few hiccups...OK, I know computeres dont good up we do...well I may have given my computer hiccups.....

Anyway, This week for Daytona, we are back!!!! And I am working on even more exciting, interactive ways to do this for next season.

Remember, in a few races it'll be time the the Race to the Championship Crash League extravaganza. Scores will COUNT each week and Accumilate to a grand champion!!! Last years Grand Champion @Allyson13 is looking good this year..better come up with a strategy!!

Pocono June 6, 2010

Well, after a lengthy rain delay, the track turned out beautiful. Plenty of grip, almost no legitimate cautions, although Nascar continues to find debris once in a while when Mike Helton or one of the France's have to go to the bathroom.

We weren't sure anyone would crash for a while, but at the very end there was a quite fun little mess to sort out. I'm always disappointed with Pocono Races, and I still am, but at least there was a few moments of fun and hours of Twitter fan controversy after.

Darlington, The Wall that eats Cars: May 8, 2010 ALSO NEW POSTING STYLE

Well, Darlington was a weird race this year, while the Darlington Stripe was all over the cars, the wall itself didn't inflict much damage. In fact, nothing inflicted much damage until nearly the end. But fear not, plenty of Crash points to go around.

Congratulations to this weeks winner: Lacey!!!!! aka SmokinAce88.

also please note a change in how I'm posting scores. To make things easier, I have gone to cutting and pasting you emails/post etc of pics. I am then scoring several times a race. I've decided to just post the entire worksheet, which means you can see everyone's scores, as well as who they picked.

Because everyone uses different formats to send me their pics, it may read strangely, but it can be followed fairly easily (heck, I can do it LOL). In everyones section you'll see xx/xx/xx/xx these are the scores for the various scoring passes I make, the very LAST one is the total score.

Post ARE NOT in scoring order, rather just a cut and paste of my worksheet.

I am also adding a quick link tab to a seperate page that will JUST be the rules. So you can easily find the rules without searching backwards.

Doug.

Talledega....Restrictor plate heaven..or is that hell.

Peeps, I think everyone is getting a little tires of restrictor plate races. I know we've been hashing and rehashing what to do about Daytona and Talladega for years, but this clearly isnt it.

They are fun races with exciting finishes, but I have to agree with Dale Jr., they are like playing the lottery lately. Fans get to see the bigone, be in suspense til the last turn before the checkered flag on the last lap, but for drivers trying to get points, starting and Parking is gonna become an option some day.

For Crash league, it's a veritable bonanza of points.

The Winner this week was P337 with 75 points.
CPBelser and Shell236 had 70 points.
SmokinAce88 and AllRacing_Lady had 65 points
BecBeat555 and Alyson13 had 60 points
HonestJohn60 with 55 points
I had 40 points.
So did LarryTaylor
TwentyFour had 35 points
RealBamaGirl had 20 points.

OOPSS There will be a delay in posting updates for last 2 races.

Hi everyone, As I wait for the rain to stop so we can maybe get some racing in at Texas today, I realized I did not update the results for the last 2 races.

Martinsville: March 29th: Turned out to be a more interesting race than we ever thought it would be. Due to circumstances not under my control right now, like rain, sun, cats and dogs living together in sin, I don't have the actual points in my hand right now, but it has been scored, and I am glad to say that RealBamaGirl SMOKED the field in points. I will try to get the individual points listed soon.

Phoenix Due to a conflict (I was spending time with my daughter who's needing some special care right now)I could not watch the race, and my helper took ill during the race, so I've gotta pour through race coverage, videos, even chat logs to find the crash statistics for this race. I hope I can piece enough info together to successful, and fairly, score the race. Keep your fingers crossed.

So that I don't run into this again, I think it justifys my purchase of DVR for my cable......yeah, that's it, that's a very important thing....must buy it...... :D
