I just changed mine about 5 times as practice went on.
I may not be done yet.
California was my worst track last year scoring in the league.

I got problems with race choices. I am a diehard Jeff Gordon fan, so why do I only get 9 chances to choose him? Just don't seem right.
And with this new format, the drivers don't know what they want to do so how are we supposed to make a decision? Is it race set-up or is it qualifying set-up? Better to start in the front and tweak it to stay there than start in the back and get taken out before you can advance. Sort of like Gordon was doing earlier. Funny how that takes me back to the first question isn't it?
To: tubebender
Speaking of Skinner. On the pole for the truck race coming up.

I think you will see the same guys qualify well that did last year.
Those may be famous last words, but I made my picks based on that theory. Even Jack concurs with my decision and that's all that matters to me. Woof! :)

To: glock rocks
Ok, screeen caps are on, I wonder if we will have anyone doing the triple flip and half gainer this week?

I figure they will too, just agitated that I can't pick Gordon for all the races. Actually had all Dodges and Fords until Gordon's last run. DW started that bing, bing, bing.
HEY we got trucks crankin'!!!
To: SouthTexas
Granted rule changes add a twist to the situation, but if ya need a benchmark, there's always the guy's in Vegas! *L*
(I guess they make a living out of it)

I'd say it's some of that.LOL
I "thought" I was a fairly knowledgeable fan, blew the h*ll out of that assumption didn't I?
I know what you're doing, same thing as Jeff in Daytona, just teasin' everyone. :)

Thanks? Goodby cruel world as I jump off the dog house...
To: tubebender
A Bodine for the first caution!
nevermind.
To: NYTexan
I'll have to look at the Vegas guys. Was watching the online oddsmakers during the election and the odds flipped far too much. Looked like it was knee-jerk, so I gave up.
To: SouthTexas
I DO like the trucks on these big tracks!.
