Hey Opti --- Somehow I forgot to make any picks this week after sending points. Can I just use the points next race?

Lt

[Optional]

Lt Dementia forgot to submit an entry. () Carry your points over to next race and reduce prize pool by 20.

70% of 1st to Newlee = 148 points
20% of 2nd to Packerd = 14 points

Let me know if you want to pay for next week before I pay you guys.

102 points jackpot to the next race at Pocono

Lt

Yes thats fine.

Slip your mind? ;-))

[yisman]

let's recap:

first 12 races, my worst score was 2 and that only happened once. 11 out of 12 weeks I got 3+. I got at least 4 in 7 of the 12 races.

last 8 races, my best score is 3 and I've scored 2 or fewer in 6 out of 8 races.

The inescapable conclusion:

I've been hexed. I will have to consult with Nina.

[Noles1992]

Looks like we pushed on this, but beat me in CD game, so paying you 100 for that -50 you owe me from last race in this game.

[LtDementia]

Yes thats fine.

Slip your mind? ;-))

I was spending a lot of time trying to decide whether to fade Danica -- and then got distracted.. Senior moment :-)

[BadNina]
