I sent you a PM about this, but you cannot pick two people for a spot (10th Place) and you cannot have two different people for the "Winner" and the "200 Lap Milestone" because both would be the same....it is not fair to the other competitors to selected multiple drivers in either situation.

Send me your changes and I will edit it appropriately.

Just out of interest, out of the 11 racers above can you show how many events each racer has participated in and what their average (against entries) would be?? Just trying to get a feel for who I'm up against

No hurry

[Tim Northcutt]

Tim you are a legend. Well I have my work cut out for me then up against some seasoned veterans and I was a little late getting to the grid. Oh well lets see if the rookie can shake it up and rattle the vets.

Tell me how come you are not in the comp this season??
