    regarding the roval......





    Im not wild about the half-ass chicane at turns 11-12.... but, I guess with danica retired, they needed to have a chicane other than the 10 car for the drivers to have to dodge on the straightaways....

    I hope it works. A road course inside a stadium where you can see the whole track from every seat could be great.

    From reading driver reactions I fear this layout may not be right yet though :\

    They have tweaked it a couple of times already after driver tests and none of them sounded like they thought it was ideal.

    They had to change layout several times because they kept going faster each test and carrying too much speed. Should be interesting

    I'd like some in it. Tougher with only 40 starters now.

    Dan Gurney, Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt sort of people.

    Interesting.

    I thought Beuscher and McDowell looked good enough for top 15s in practice and pondered a few bucks on the huge odds. Guess some others felt the same.

    The guy in charge at 5 Dimes screwed a lot of stuff up today.

    Kenseth was also missing.

    Then an hour before the race or so, he was added, but his win odds were +2000

    His odds to finish top 3 were more than that...

    I almost forgot to enter my lineup and I did way better this race than in a long while. Unfortunately I wasn't on Kyle Busch and he ended up winning.

    I did not know I could play for 1 point.

    I should've had that week outright. Unusually, they locked it early and I was trying to swap out Kenseth for Newman and missed it by seconds. Kenseth was my one dud.

    Yeah, I should've got in too. Final regular season games in baseball have been killing me though, and poker not much better.

    The idea was always that no one had to miss any weeks, and maybe we would end up with some big jackpot weeks. Just did not turn out that way.



    Will send out PMs to all players to have a say about best way to adjust it next year.

    Last place hasn't been a big hit and I think 1st place does not pay enough, so prob get rid of that, but will pm all to ask opinions before seasn ends.


    Also thinking of dropping the up front payments for the season and make it some sort of weekly entry fee to make that pool instead.
