Last season ten Ten-Tenthers had a mini-grid of Fantasy F1 Racing Teams and we had a lot of fun at it. Any interest in doing the same thing for Champ Cars? The F1 thread is giong to run the F1 Fantasy Team this year and have a prize at the end. I thought it would be fun to do something like that here.
This is my idea: Everyone chooses two pilots, one chassis, one engine, and a name for their team. Points will be awarded the same as in the Champ Car races themselves; there will also be points for making up places on the grid (as long as the car finishes) and for both cars finishing in the top five; points would be lost for being the first car to retire or for both cars or both pilots retiring. Extra ten points if your pilot wins the Championship. Prize to be named later - possibly a 10-Tenths cap or Champ Car season highlight video. What do you think? If there's interest in this we should choose our teams soon. |

It's the happy world of... GONK RACING INC.!!!
I'm in too - Gonk Racing Inc. has the funds to launch both F1 and CART projects in 2001 thanks to a major sponsorship deal with Haribo.

Oh, I forgot about press releases.
Each team should name a press officer (spin doctor) for the issuance of explanations, excuses, and gloating remarks as appropriate, following the races. Weekly standings will be printed in the 10-Tenths Newsletter. |

Wow, nine teams already! CART should be so well organized!
Any more punters? P.S. Team Penske Babe has named Pedro "El Guapo" Morales as Press Officer. Pedro's motto is "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you look at the press conference!" He moves into his job following a mixed season as Pit Babe. |
