Will try and remember to pick

The other 20 for Badnina entry, as guessing Mr Nina won't let her go see her favorite driver at Dega this weekend

[BadNina]

Usually no one gets 0. This week we had three people get shut out. Amazing, considering only 14 entered.

Newlee wins via tiebreaker, Optional 2nd.

No one picked the winner.

[Optional]

75 to Newlee for 40% of 1st. (let me know if you want me to hold some or not?)


113 points jackpot to Martinsville

[yisman]

points pretty evenly spread around

only four people played every week and failed to win points. Oddly enough, one of them is leading the overall (by 2 points!). Too much consistency.
