Tom, Terry has until the end of the week and he and I would be starting even. Maybe you should have an award for the best of the last two!
Got another player. Welcome Foxchase, friend of Sid that was in our football contest. He was in a public league for the first two races and moves to our league starting with week 3. He has 401 points which is good enough for 9th place but is not shown in that position on the site. I assume he wil be counted in the rankings after the next race.
Sunday morning I decided to switch Carl Edwards for Jimmie Johnson. How'd that work out? Edwards finished 28th, Johnson finished 3rd. I also swapped Bobby Labonte for Regan Smith. Of course Labonte finishes 13 spots ahead of Smith. I'll never learn.
As you know, Edwards got taken out by Kyle...was accidental and could have happened to anyone. Luck is a big factor. JJ wasn't looking that fast but just ran a really steady race.

My friend Jerry joins the group and shoots to 1st place. Not to fear. He and I both are aware that in our case occasional luck trumps skill. :wink:

Very unpredictable so far...I am having a pretty bad year...yet we all are. About the only thing predictable is that if I put one of the top drivers on my team for a week it is the kiss of death for them.
Bill looks to be gaining momentum. Got his second top 5 this week and was just one point away from winning the week. I, on the other hand... :roll: PL …… Pts ….

I remember that SNL skit. The actual wording: "This just in... General Alisimo Francisco Franco still valiantly holding onto his struggle to remain dead." Ah, the memories of our younger days...
Terry, the bowling game has definitely taken a turn for the better. I'm up 9 pins in one league and 7 in the other. Hey in the NASCAR league don't forget I have 2 less starts than everyone else. If I manage to catch anyone then I've had a good year.
I wondered if anybody would get the SNL reference. It was a running gag for a whole season I believe.
