OSFC-2013 Edition(Bud Shootout)

[Mo]

First thing is first, due to the entry list for this first race not being out and the possibility of having more participants than actual drivers, I am limiting this to 20 users. Supporters and long time members get first choice.

Sorry to those cut off, but your spot is safe for the 500

Second, Draw was done randomly via random dot org.

And Lastly, Booo Bob

Mo…………............................................ ....pick



I'm gonna borrow this from Mike,

Pick the amount of cars based on the place you are picking, if you pick 2nd pick 2 cars, 5th 5 cars, and so on.

Place the driver who you want the most at the top, 2nd most 2nd, and so on until you fill the list based on how many you need.

As I gather the list I will mark off cars from your list that have been taken. I will then take the driver who is highest on your list, that is left.

Please send me a PM with your picks. We are all members here at OS, and it's much easier to deal with it all in one place.

If I mess up, please let me know ASAP.

Please don't submit your picks on this thread, unless you want everyone in front of you to know who you really want.

Finally, don't forget to have fun

Hey I think we should random the picking order for the 500 as well and then start with the reverse finish/pick.

I think we should go by the way we finished last year (kind of a bonus for having/not having a good season) and/or do the shootouts (somehow) to help with the picking order. I know its alot lol but I really do think the champ from last year should get the first pick and so on.

Re: OSFC-2013 Edition(Bud Shootout)

@ MO, you should try convincing the owners of the site to maybe giving the winner of the league this year like a 5 or 10 point spike in their overall forum skill level for putting in so much time with the league. Just a little token of appreciation type deal. Just throwing out some ideas to make things more fun or something lol.

Re: OSFC-2013 Edition(Bud Shootout)

@ Happy, Harvick still sucks!

Re: OSFC-2013 Edition(Bud Shootout)

@ Happy, Harvick still sucks!

At least my driver don't look like Pee Wee Herman.

Re: OSFC-2013 Edition(Bud Shootout)

Is Keselowski not in this? They got some stupid *** rules for this stuff. Why not just do away with this thing and do the 2 duel races on Saturday night while people are off work and in primetime would be some good ratings. Nascar could be sooooooooo much better with some good managing (guys like us who know what we like). This shoot out is fun just because we get to see some Nascar but it don't mean jack.

They going back to how it was for many years when it was then the Busch Clash only pole winners from the previous year and past winners of the race. It's suppose to be a special race not an All Star event.

1995 Busch Clash

Re: OSFC-2013 Edition(Bud Shootout)

I myself would rather watch something that matters (getting into the biggest race in all of sport). All Star event don't mean anything either (besides the money) Just saying. But, I understand what you are saying.

What you think we can expect from this new car Happy?

Re: OSFC-2013 Edition(Bud Shootout)

What you think we can expect from this new car Happy?

Old style drafting at the restrictor plate tracks like we saw in the late 90's early 2000's. The dreaded aero push will still be there that's just a fact of things now, though we will see looser cars with the smaller spoiler and bigger speeds. The test at Charlotte and Darlington showed fast cars. Right now I think everyone has an equal shot at winning as everyone is on a clean slate. Expect drivers like Jeff Gordon, Jeff Burton, Dale Jr, Mark Martin, Matt Kenseth, Ryan Newman to possibly have big years as this car is like the old car when they had the majority of their success. Right now this is an exciting time to be a race fan there are so many things to look forward to. The Gen 6 car, the Camaro in Nationwide the Trucks returning to road courses, more short tracks and for the first time since 1970 NASCAR is on the dirt at Eldora. This will be an exciting year.

And what I'm most excited about....next year we'll see for the first time since February 18th, 2001 the return of the #3 to the RCR stable in the Cup Series garage.
