Well our racing season is finished. We have a new Champion.
This message should probably be in the thread "A Work In Progress" but I figured nobody would notice it in there.
We opened this site on or about 8/3/11 and have had a lot of help.
Thanks to Dayton221 for all the reporting and listings.
Thanks to Myles and Goodgrief for advertising for us over on the ESPN board. Myles even got banned and had to open a new account.
Thanks to yogisd1 for the "Car Show Game" & bentlyj for the old system scoring.
I think we have done pretty good considering what we are working with. There are times we keep up with the ESPN board with activity and of course times we do not.
Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to post and add to the collective effort here.
I tried to leave the ESPN "no holds" section alone and let it percolate over there with pretty open rules or, actually no rules.
On the real posting side over here, as Myles has noted, we are free to post as adults as long as it is within reason and so far it has always been within reason. We did open the thread called "Troll Pit" to throw that type of stuff in and actually had no real use for it.
I know these boards die in the off season and just wanted to try to catch everybody to say thanks. Hopefully all of you will be back in February to post in the new season.
Hope we all have a great Holiday Season.
Tom

Tom, you've done a fantastic job with these forums.Everyone that has posted, although sometimes cryptic, (to me) has not gotten out of line with their posts. I look forward to seeing everyone again next year. Until then, may the checkers be yours.

Hey Tom,
This had turned out to be a nice place with good posters who know how to have a conversation about various subjects.
I like how the ESPN part, that attracted me here, is seperate.
Just wish I had picked a better nickname.
Thanks for opening it.

Tom, you've done a great job. I hope that the posters here have other interests besides Nascar and post as such through the offseason.
I'll still be here.
I will also create a fantasy Nascar yahoo game for this forum alone. It may only have 5-8 mambers, but it will be good for bragging rights.

This message board is much easier to navigate and follow a thread than ESPN's. You do not have to open a thread to figure out the latest posting.
There is not the level of nastiness on here that the other board has.
This one is almost as active as the ESPN board it seems. If you take off the silly posts from trolls just trying to screw around you actually have the same amount of racing conversations.
After only a few months I think this place is doing great.
