Looks like Dobi jumped up big time on RM Fantasy.

HOLY SMOKES. UNREAL man. Congrats. That's awesome.

As I suspected, blew hard in pulp this week as I was out of Cell Service all weekend. Sadness.

That was so bad. :blush: I guess I know which one is my drop week.

I don't know if this could have gone worse:

250
  • Pettis qualified so well, I just couldn't resist. Crashed both times he was on the track. Didn't make the main.
  • Leib looked good, qualified well - also not in the main.
  • I picked McElrath to lead the 1st lap - crashed in the first turn.
  • Martin and Craig were my other two picks and did well, but two guys can't carry my whole team...
450
  • Barcia was rolling all day long. Jumping out first in practice, constantly at the top of the board. Picked him to lead a lap. Nope.
  • Picked Seely as my all-star - lead the race right up to when he grenaded himself.
  • Bowers? Oh Bowers... looking at his first top ten with only a few laps to go. Didn't even finish.
  • Enticknap qualified well too. Was in 10th for awhile in the heat. I think he was 22nd off the line in the LCQ though.
So of my eight picks, only half finished the race. :crybaby:

I had Michael Leib who didn't even qualify on 250s, and also Bowers hurt me. Odd thing is I climbed from 40th to 35th in the pay league standings, so I'm taking that away as a positive. Bowers crash was brutal!

Also gambled on Pettis.

450's almost went terribly wrong as I had Lemay and Cunningham who took the last 2 lcq spots haha.

Oldenberg didn't help my cause either this week.

Well I scored a horrible 106 points

450's: Tomac didn't finish, Bogle didn't make main, and I picked Tomac to lead 1st lap for a -15
250's: Damn you Canadian Petis! And Hoeft was looking great but didn't make main.

I got screwed by 3 guys named Justin. I think this is my throwaway round.

We must've had similar ideas last round! I had Bogle, Hoeft and a total of three Justin's too.

Thankfully the other two were Hill and Brayton, which were good (26 points/each is max for allstars right?).

I'm not pleased with my 190 points, but I'm not crying about it either - especially since I thought I was playing it safe and still had two guys out of the main. :nopity:

Looks like downunder had a big week :thumbsup:

I had 1. Barcia, 2. MacAdoo, & 3. Ferrandis... who went: 1. Out with a broken hand, 2. Busted his hand but finished. 3. Torpedoed in the first turn.

Yet I still had a good week! :applause:

I also had 2 dudes that didn't make the main, A-Ray and Jacob Williamson. Still did ok though. 196 points. 67 in RMATV which was quite good.

Awful week in Pulp. I only had 4 guys in the combined mains I believe.

Trying a new strategy this week. no pod casts, no research. Going with qualifying times and gut feel

Triple Crown Hotlannnnnnta this weekend.

Stew called up to ride for depleted Honda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, maybe just kidding on the last point.

Hartrnaft bails on the last corner of the LCQ and misses main was my biggest disappointment last week. Almost had a full roster haha

Also Starling making the 450 main on a 250 was pretty cool
