2007 Forum Pick 'Em Contest - Homestead

Tim Northcutt · 10 Mar 2007, 02:44 (Ref:1862789)

Yep....

It's that time of year again!

The return of the Ten-Tenths IRL "Pick 'Em" Contest!

I'll post the template in a few minutes.

Those who have participated in the past have enjoyed it.

Looking forward to a new season and hosting a new competition.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Check with the IRL Site to get the official Entry List for the race before making your picks. If you would make them early, only to have a new team enter, or something, it can impact your selections.

FINAL NOTE:

I haven't decided if I am going to just run it (which I will do regardless), or compete again this year....

I've got lots of projects that are occupying my time this year. Not sure if I will take the time to make picks this time around.

Good Luck!
