Carolyn, that's the same way as I am in, my father in law lost his battle with cancer Tuesday night and I have been in the same mode your family has all week, my drivers I picked for Daytona were risky to begin with and that failed me, now i think I may really be in the dumper!!!!

I hope things are going ok for your family Carolyn... It just makes us sick to sit here and watch the news about the whole thing. Please give out large hugs to your family from down here in Brewster!

Thanks, muc. We are all doing a little better today. One of my girls talked with a grief counselor at school today, and feels like that really helped.

Sorry to hear about your father in law. Losing a family member is pretty tough. Hang in there, we'll be praying for your family as well. Hugs back to you.

Hi all is there way to veiw the scores? Just wanted to watch and learn. What are the scores of both groups?

Thanks Ham

[harvey lee]

Ham, if you watch the NASCAR forum usually on Monday, the scores are posted under a post titled" Week 1 winner and every week it changes to that week.

Ham just don't wath my score as I am in the basement and having to try and climb out of a deep hole already after just 2 races. I feel bad for anyone that picks the same guys as me, they seem to crash and burn at a record rate!

Is it possible to start a private league now that the season has already started? A bunch of co workers want to play a league, but I'm not sure if I can start one for the Atlanta race or not.

[harvey lee]

I do believe that if you have a group that would like to start, all you would need to do is have one of your group go to the yahoo fantasy leaque and set up a leaque. Then others could follow. If you all start now, you will all will be equal.

[FatMike]

Will I still be able to pick drivers 9 times in the new group?

When a driver has been picked 9 times, can you still use them for qualifying?

[Jeremy airjer W]

If you use the same team name you are using know than your previous points and driver usage will be transfered to the new group. If you start/use a new team name than you will start over fresh.

No. "When a driver has reached the nine-race limit, he no longer accumulates any fantasy points for your team even if he occupies an active roster spot. This limit does not change no matter when you join the game." (Quoted from Yahoo)

[LMITOUT]

What's the deadline for changing drivers prior to qualifying? Qualifying is still hours away and I'm locked out from changing my roster. ????? I thought about it last night and figured I'd have the opportunity today. Guess not.

[bassNspear]

i was going to ask the same thing. We must have to pick them before the start to qualify.

[harvey lee]

One has to have them picked before qualifing as one could wait until they are done and then collect all the bonus points. The trick is to pick the right drivers before they qualifiy and see how many you picked correctly.

You should recieve a reminder from Yahoo each week telling you when you need to have your picks in by. It automatic ever week when the reminder arrives in the e-mail.

[Jeremy airjer W]

The deadline to make team changes for the next race is 2:00 a.m. PT on the night before qualifying. With a few exceptions, this is Thursday night at 2:00 a.m. PT. yahoo fantasy racing rules

[bassNspear]

thanks for the information!!

[LMITOUT]

I was aware they had to be picked before qualifying, just not a day and a half prior.

[metrojoe]

Sign up for the email reminder. It's saved me a couple times.

[LMITOUT]

That's the thing, I did....but I rarely check my Yahoo email.. doh!

[bassNspear]

i did the same for the next weeks. This way i wont burn up the drivers.

[Reef Runner]

Is it to late to participate???

[Jeremy airjer W]

Nope! As long as there is room you are welcome. In fact jasander5 just joined in the last couple of days. If your new to fantasy racing sign up under the HSO account.

[Reef Runner]

Done.

This should be fun. I have no clue as to what I am doing. I just found myself watching the last few races and loved it.

[Jeremy airjer W]

If you read through this entire thread it should answer just about any question you might have. We have had people start late in the past and have ended up doing very well by the end of the year.

[Sifty]

Welcome to the group Reef Runner

[Jeremy airjer W]

Anybody know who jasander5 is? He appeared a couple days before the altlanta race and seems to be doing quite well in the HSO league. Couldn't find him with a member search.

[Justin Sander]

ya it's me. I didn't use my member name, sorry.

I was using "the pro" and you kept kicking me off.

Then i read the directions a little better. And now i can play.
