When does sign-up begin for this year's NASCAR pool?

Yahoo says to check their site in early January, so I'd expect any day now. Ymo usually sets up the CTN league.

Possibly, if Junior is there, I think it makes sense.

Ymo: Time to start the league. Leagues may now form on yahoo.

NOTE: Judging from the front page description on yahoo, looks like some WEIRD changes for this year:
1) Good move: some better interface between different menus, and more information on each driver you select, with real time, in-the-race updates letting you know more easily where you stand in terms of points that week.
2) Weird move: I am unsure exactly what's going on, but it looks like for each season, your lowest score gets dropped, in terms of season tallies. Again, will wait until the league forms to see what are the actual rules.
3) Bizarro move: I'm unsure if this is tied in with #2, but there's some correcting mechanism that allows you to survive if you forget to make your picks during the week. Will DEFINITELY want to learn more about this.

NO idea until the league forms, as to just who is in which list. I fear my first read of the C list drivers. :-? :-ss

I don't watch NASCAR. I know hardly anything about it except that JJ is really good and Tony Stewart is an asshole. And only tools root for Jeff Gordon.

But I'm intrigued about joining your thing here.

Besides... we all know that Blech is much worse. :Angry Orc:

Tickets just went on sale this week for the Sprint Cup Kentucky race this year. I think it's in early July.

I HATE blech. He can kiss my pale white arse. No, wait a sec forget that, I don't want his repulsive kooties. I hope someone puts a couple of dozen raw eggs between the walls of his home. Muhahahahahaha

Smoke can be an asshole, but he is a minor one compared to others, like b****.
