    Guys, I will not be running this contest this year. I am not going to have time with my work, racing schedule, and car club management. If someone else would like to take it over, at least for this year, that would be great.

    I posted this in the back room as well. I am involved with DCS Productions who will be publishing a video per month called "Real Cars Real Drivers". The link below is for a 42 second teaser of the first video to come out on 2-Feb. You can subscribe to the page to receive updates when new videos, usually 15 to 16 minute each, are published. I have already viewed the one coming out on 2-Feb. The McCord cars are pictured twice in the intro and we get special credit when the credits roll at the end. However, this video is with Jason White. He owns both a Prowler and a Viper as well as two Harley motorcycles. Very good interview and very nice toys. We should be in the 4th or 5th edition.

    Each month, the owner of a car is interviewed to discuss issues pertaining to their cars and video is taken of the cars in action. I'm sure when mine is featured, the video will happen at the local drag strip.

    I may be a little scarce this year on the boards. I have normal work, my racing schedule, car club management, and my company is moving our training center back to the US of A. This is going to take a lot of my time.

    You need to take care of business Tom and we all appreciate everything you do here.

    The car video is a teaser and looks very interesting.

    Where is your training center going to be?

    Don't forget us.

    The new location is still up for debate. The latest information has it in Austin building 32 but the longer they take to make the decision, the less chance that the area will be available for us.

    One of my buddies who has been in our league the last two years ( Lots More Stagger ) has set up a Yahoo league for us if interested but he will not be posting results and other info on SkyBox like Tom did. You will have to go to Yahoo for results.

    If interested let me know and I will post sign up info on here.

    I gambled and picked guys that had a good history at Daytona yet weren't on a high percentage of other guys' picks...

    And paid for it (last place in both my leagues).

    The theory is that it will put some spread between you and everyone else...one way or another...

    Well, it worked. :shock:

    This is like the mob, Fitzi. You can't quit. I posted a link to the standings above.
