I hate restrictor plate races :mad:
You're catching on, nearly verbatium to what I've been saying about NASCAR for the last 20 years. Perhaps NASCAR is less of a lottery than it is musical chairs as whomever is left after the demolition debry that will provide the most melancholy finish is chosen from a locked room high above the track by Mike Helton and his henchmen. BHW
Coming from a guy that isn't even playing in our league... Listen, I like all forms of motorsports, each and every one of them have their pluses and minuses, go ask Roger Penske, Jack Roush and Chip Ganassi - all three of whom have been successful in other forms of racing - why they are in nascar. I like F1, but the track record of F1 over the last 10-15 years is a joke, largely one where there are only six cars capable of winning - and those six never change throughout the year. (keep in mind I said over the last 10-15 years, not 2012 alone). I don't necessarily disagree with your analogy of nascar, but it is what it is, just as F1 is what it is, and every other form of motorsport there is. And let me restate - nice comment from a guy not even in our league.
and you'll notice that F1 is doing more to emulate NASCAR (contrived rules packages, testing bans, etc) than the other way around.
Only half right...my picks have just back-fired...but Bubba has gone Hotel Cali on us...he checked out but he can never leave! -SRB
Ugh, that last corner wreck hurt me...finished 11/12/15/26. Without the wreck I would have had 3 in the top 10. SRB
...I moved up 1 place in the standings. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Remember, we are going full season points, not segment points. I see some folks have given up, they have guys going that are down to 1 start, and some folks starting that are not even entered. SRB is 3rd. What ticks me off is I had Jeff Burton on my team, and I swapped him out Wednesday night. Oh well, with Daytona at Talladega you never know.
Yeah, I know; just looking for that darn silver lining. Yep, last year was more fun with its active participation and the banter. Next year I might join one of the public leagues too.
Ugh, I had 2nd & 4th on the bench but SRB still went 3/6/10/28. Woulda, coulda, shoulda...2/3/4/28...ugh.
I don't know what is more impressive, me winning two weeks in a row or Bubba scoring 1 point. Image Unavailable, Please Login
1/16/19/33 My move of the weekend was replacing Vickers (finished 43rd) with Mears (16th) after qualifying...whew! Good call by those that started Hornish. I thought about picking him but visions of IRL ovals caused me not to...darn you Tony George! -SRB
I told you Bubba gave up. As far as Hornish goes, who else is worthy on the C list? Almirola is about it, really, now we have two cars on top teams to choose from, but you still have to pick some of the other guys or you run out of starts.
After two horrible weeks I closed out the Summer with a win but still finished 4th in the segment. Third overall but have the most wins FWIW. Really sux though that only 5 (maybe 6, SIN eek is back?) teams are still competing. Damn you Bubba et al! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
