Fantasy Nascar???

[Paul Vebber]

Now that we are about to enter the Great antasy Desert until Spring Training, how many would be interested in a Fantasy NASCAR league?

If at least 8 people show interest in the next couple weeks I will set it up when Yahoo starts their engines!

[Challerain]

I'm interested as long as I get Jimmie Johnson....
 
Seriously, I'd be in.

[Barthheart]

Who wants to drive around in circles all the time?!? How about real man's racing - F1.... [;)]

[Paul Vebber]

Nascar does a couple road courses every year...

Real men don't go around with their axles showing

Yeah and those are pretty funny to watch... What do you mean I have to turn right?!?!?

Real men don't need engines large than 1.6L to prove they're bi... er... faster.

[Poolmick]

I will play.
 
 whats funny about the Nascar roadies is that there are always your "ringers" entered Said,Fellows, Ambrose, etc and NONE have won one yet.

Oh yeah, now that's real racing for ya. Circuits going offline in N.A. and Europe, to be replaced by desert and Asian courses....What's the pre-race show for the Dubai F1 ? Camel racing ?
Look, I don't want to get into the great debate. but since you've expressed yours, here's mine...F1 is losing it's appeal to the masses. Only the wealthier nations can afford to satisfy Uncle Bernie's excesses, and frankly, the show isn't what it used to be back in the glory years. ( and yes, they were glorious) Nascar might be round and round, but the winner isn't decided ( oftentimes) till the very last feet of track. Been a long time since that's happened in F1.
Yeah, count me in for this Paul, thanks
Cheers

Oh I could not agree with you more about the decline of F1. But I just can't get excited about watching 30 some cars drive in circles... except for the spectacular crashes![:D]

Paul, do you get points for crashes that are particularly awsome?[;)]

[Marc gto]

im in just let me know

[Paul Vebber]

The Matrix Racing League has been created at

http://racing.fantasysports.yahoo.com/auto

Create a team and then join the Matrix Racing League.

The league is number 7572 and password is matrix.


Check out the rules , particularly the 9 race limit on a given driver scoring points.

There is no "draft" and all drivers are available to all players each week - they are divided into A, B and C list and you must pick 8 drivers at the start of the season and race 4 per week with 9 races max per driver. You set your 8 driver roster before qualifying, and pick your 4 to "count" before the race. And once you use a given driver 9 times, that driver can no longer be used by you.

So this is about getting the most points from your team of 8 drivers, not riding a couple good drivers all season. The prize scoring will be based on each of the 3 segments and the final standings.

The winner of each segment will get 5 points, 2nd place 3 and third place 2 points. The Overall winner will receive a game download, as well as the person scoring the most season points (aside from the overall winner, if it is the same person, the next highest point scorer will receive the 2nd prize.

I get a error no. 113, not a member message. How can I fix it?

[Challerain]

Try this link

Nascar

[Paul Vebber]

OOPS sorry Challerain's link is the correct one!

We have 4 I'd like at least 8 to make it a decent competition!

This is pretty easy - no draft to research, and with the way wrecks go down, probably the most chances to win "getting lucky"...

[Poolmick]

I am in. Thanks

[Dixie]

I'll give it a try [:)]

[105mm Howitzer]

Got in, am ready..

[Challerain]

Has anyone actually picked their team yet? I'm a little confused.....

You need to select 4 starters and 4 bench drivers. Are you stuck with these 8 for the entire year? If you can switch out drivers weekly I'm trying to figure out why there is a bench....

[Paul Vebber]

Each week you pick your 8 drivers for the week until qualifying, then after qualifying up until race time you can choose the 4 you want to "score". You pick a new 8 drivers each week, but once a drivers is used for "score" 9 times you can't use him anymore. SO its about trying to get drivers you think will do well at particular tracks - some being more likely to get super speed way win, others short track winners, or restricter plate or road course specialists.

[Poolmick]

there is a bench because you can score qualifying points if you pick one in top 4. If he is on your bench you get points for the "Q" but does not count as one of your 9 starts unless he is  active "in the big square above"

Good luck guys
