Is it time yet to start picking my drivers for the Daytona 500? Oh yeah and 2dogs you can't play in 2009; just kiddin' you know I love ye!

With no testing at Daytona this year, it's making this off-season unbearably long. I want my NASCAR!!!!!

I just want my guy to have a ride.

Becky,

It is time to set up the group again. It just opened about 15 minutes ago, so lets start our engines......Bruce~!

Oh and 2dogs can't play until the second half-new rules...LOL.

I didn't realize it was open already. I'll try to get something set up before the end of the week.

Thanks for letting me know.

I should be there at the start this time.

I can't wait....although you do very well, maybe you and 2dogs can't start until the second half...he, he.

Whats wrong you afraid of a little competition?

Ummm, well Yeah!

So is it game day yet?

Hey gang. Since I'm up early this morning and feeling ambitious, I set up the fantasy racing group for the 2009 season. Here are the details. They're also in the attached screenshot.

Group Name: Harold's Place
Group ID: 6329
Password: powerofoi

You'll need to create a team before you can join the group. You can do that here: http://racing.fantasysports.yahoo.com/auto. Then click on the "Create or Join Group" link to join the group. You'll need the ID and Password to join the group.

If you did this last year, then you know what to do. If anyone has any trouble setting up their team or joining the gorup, let me know. The deadline to select or edit your drivers is Feb 15 2:35pm CST. Looks like they've fancied it up this year too.

Good luck everyone. I hope to have the same luck I had last year But I might have just had a lucky streak.

Thanks Becky.
This year I'm not spending most of the year looking at chicken feathers.

Soon it will be time for fun and frolic.

I like the new format. Now who be Jack Daniels Racing?

That would be my sissy ... LisaR.

For those who have the Speed Channel ... turn it on now. They've got a 'Preseason Thunder' show on. Of course, there's no cars on the track since they banned testing at Daytona. But they've got some drivers on.

I just got back from a day of buying used clothes and grocery shopping....now to make my team.

OK, all set, I'm colbean88, as if you needed to know that. Also, I didn't realize that you had to pick all your starters and all your benches before you will be allowed to click submit. Make sure everyone does that or your picks disappear.

I came across this on the tv guide and thought I would pass it on
