I'll get it for you in the next couple of days.

OK, I got it and it is edited and tried to attach it.It failed.

Do you know of a place where I could store in on the internet?

Awright. Awright. I did it. Though the icon for joining was about the dumbest, most ridiculous botton ever created. But I kept looking at all the others who joined and I just figured I couldn't be THAT stupid (well, ok, there's room for discussion there) and eventually realized that stupid little itty bitty blue square with a teeny tiny bit of green in it MUST be the front door and sure enough, it worked!   :o

Anyway, I'm here and think I will feel even stupider for my team picks, but the budget didn't seem to leave a lot of options if one did not want to be powered by Briggs & Stratton or have some ten year old prodigy driving for you.      ::)

Maybe by NEXT year I will have figured out the game within the game........

My thinking was to go for exceptional in one of the four categories, and scrape the bottom of the barrel for the other three to get under budget.

My REASONING is that the goal is to get points as soon as possible, so you can upgrade the team early and often. And since the F1 point system rewards excellence, not consistent mediocrity, it's better to blow your wad on one category and hope for a single podium spot, rather than 11th place finishes across the board.

Of course, my so-called ringer is Kovalainen, so we'll see how that works out. The fate of the Flying Burrow Owls hangs in the balance.  ;D

Why would we want to copy you when you are going to lose?

It works as well.  Primarily for the first race, because starting good is essential.  And for the last races, because at that point you should have enough money to actually predict who you think will finsh where.

Last  year F- and I had a hell of a battle.  Bugger beat me by 4 points.  Two years ago, I finished in the top 50 out of 6000.

This year....  I suspect, I'm rebuildng.   :lmao:

If I don't win, I want you to win the whole damn thing.   ;D

I thought I had to enter the code words you posted to register for the site...If I'd known, I wouldn't have named it that...but I thought I had to register through the league.  The site is a little confusing.  I don't want to run it...I just want to keep my eye on my picks.  If I can, I'll change my team name, if you want.  I wasn't sure I could.

I'm in the same boat...my secret car-guy shame is that I've never really followed F1. That will change this season :)

The site is a little confusing.

That's like saying Paris Hilton is a little promiscuous!   ;D

And for you non-F1 folks out there, be sure to watch the first race of the season. Its on at 2:30 am on Speed Sunday morning and again at 10 pm Sunday night - unless you have a DVR. Then it is on whenever you want it to be on!    :)

The Daylight Savings time change took this race right out of prime time.  It used to start at 9:30, with pre-race at 9:00.  It was a great time for a saturday night season kickoff  party.
