OK I'll do it, but I don't know what I'm doing. I'll pick my guys based on color scheme.

There's a preview before qualifying and another before the race, each week. You can learn a little more there, and it makes picking a lot easier.
Say, is KNIGHTS registered yet?

The preview they post helped me last year. I didn't follow it exactly, but I did take the info provided into account when making my choices.

Re: NASCAR 2011
This is my third season and I'm still pretty clueless. Though this has taught me a lot about racing and I'm happy to say that I like watching races now. Have fun!DukeUsul wrote:OK I'll do it, but I don't know what I'm doing. I'll pick my guys based on color scheme.

Re: NASCAR 2011
I HAVE attended one NASCAR race before, down in Charlotte, maybe 7-8 years ago. I recall the best part of it was the food, beer and boiled peanuts. There was a torrential downpour before the race - which meant walking in from the dirt (mud) parking lot was a blast. And then the rain delay in the middle of the race for an hour was a hassle. I think it was the 600. We didn't even stay for the whole thing, it was such a long damn day.

Re: NASCAR 2011
What's even longer is the traffic getting around the track. I got stuck in traffic leaving the race about 30 miles from home. It took about three hours to get home from there.DukeUsul wrote:I HAVE attended one NASCAR race before, down in Charlotte, maybe 7-8 years ago.

Re: NASCAR 2011
I'm watching "Talledega Nights". Like an NASCAR race...I've only watched the end.
I don't like St. John's.

One word of caution: Ricky Bobby is NOT on any of the three lists of fantasy drivers.YmoBeThere wrote:Up to 6, CB&B if you have seen Talladega Nights you are more than qualified to join us.
But he should be.
