    Only 6 out of the 11 from last year have signed up.

    First race is the 24th of this month. Qualifying is the 17th. Get your team set now!

    Some of you are Facebook friends and will see me advertising our group to other Facebook friends. It appears that interest may be less this year on the Box.

    Perhaps we need a financial incentive (said last year's winner). :twisted:

    Never has been a winning idea on the Skybox. However, I have opened this up to the Centex Cool Cars Facebook group (private group not searchable unless you are a member) which may be more open to such an idea. Cindy and I are having dinner tonight with several of the group. In attendance will be the owners of:

    Ford GT 40
    Dodge Viper
    several Z06 Corvettes
    Mustang Cobra
    Mustang GT
    and a couple of Challenger SRT8's

    The Cobra and Mustang GT are either 2010 or 2011 models in this group. Supposedly, the Mustang GT is quicker than my Challenger. However, at San Antonio Raceway, I was turning 12.81 1/4 mile times at 111 mph. It could be young boy driver issue but the quickest Mustang GT was running 13.12 and that was a run against me.

    Never really pushed it all that hard or raced it...that's probably why it's still pretty pristine at 26 years old. A lot of fun to drive...except for the heavy clutch and an arthritic left knee.

    I wasn't pushin mine at 12.81. I was short shifting to keep the RPM manageable since it only had 800 miles on it that day. I am betting on 12.5 when I have over 3000 miles and turn it loose bouncing off the rev limiter.

    Tom,

    A mutual friend of mine and Foxchase would like to join if permitted. I told him I would ask. He's a good guy.

    I am reved up and ready to go. Now all I need to remember is to keep people in my lineup who are eligible. No issue right now since I did do a starting lineup this year. :)

    Bill (and everybody);

    Tom and I also participate in a fantasy NASCAR league called "Chase for the Cup"...on Yahoo...works the same way and uses the same drivers so you don't even have to enter them twice. Just enter your same team in the two leagues and then when you fill out your weekly picks it goes to both leagues.

    The difference is...$50 entry fee. It's kind of fun to have a little $ on the line. I won it last year and won $300. I think my son took fifth and got his money back.

    Two years ago we had 30 teams or so but the number has dwindled. Last year we had only 10 or 11. The commissioner would like to beef it up with a few more teams. Makes for more payouts. Right now we are at 10 teams including myself and Tom. When we had 30 teams he paid out to the top ten.

    Anyhow everybody here is invited, and Bill, your buddy is invited. Just email or message me and I'll get you the password to join the league. Money isn't due until a couple of races are already done. I will email or message back my address and you can send me a check, and I will get it to my son, who will get it to the commissioner....a fella vaguely known as "Bubba." :lol:

    I will vouch for the legitimacy of the league and the safety of your money, and you WILL be paid any and all of your winnings. All of the pot is paid back to the participants. The number of payouts will be determined by the number of participants.
