Thanks for playing everyone. See you in 2 weeks time for the Coca Cola 600.

I am changing the rules again slightly from the next race too.

Going back to who posted their picks first as the third tie breaker. It's better when there is an advantage for picking early and a penalty for changing your picks or posting them last. Plus it makes people want to post picks earlier, which gets the thread noticed more and earlier by new people. Numbers are a bit down on average and we haven't had a new player try it in the last 6 or so races. Think that little tweek makes it more fun and bit more strategic.

I've never really liked having to pick 1st and 2nd thing either. Just boring. But I do like the lead lap finishers tie break.

So from now on it will be.

1st tiebreaker: Winner pick
2nd tiebreaker: Lead Lap Cars
3rd tirebreaker: Who posted their picks first.

[5mike5]

sounds good 2 me Opti

[DDT]

I like it! It's not fair for everyone to copy Opti and Mike's picks!!!

[Vegas39]

Like that change

[shaunovery]

Maybe an extra tiebreaker could be time differnce between 1and 2 nd

Ie 0.356 seconds

[Vegas39]

OH congrats Opti

[yisman]

nice win opti

can't wait for next race. High stress
