I'm just curious, why is there a "1200" under each of my cars?


  • That is the rating # that every car will begin with. I just haven't put it under all the cars yet. — JDC442
  • OK, Thanks for letting me know! — KandORacing

Here's some info on the rating system. It's the same rating system used in chess and on the old Fantasy League. In short, ratings go up/down based on the quality of opponent and likelihood of defeat.

FIRST RACES ARE HAPPENING WEDNESDAY!!!

I'M GOING TO TRY TO RUN TWO RACE SESSIONS SO THAT EACH OF YOUR CARS WILL COMPETE IN FOUR MATCH UPS.  REMEMBER, IF ANY OF YOUR CARS LOSES THREE OUT OF FOUR CONSECUTIVE MATCH UPS, YOU CAN CHANGE IT OUR WITH ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT CARS.  I'M ALSO GOING TO TRY AND PUT UP A FEW MORE REPLACEMENT CARS - "INCREASE THE POOL" FOR SELECTION AS WELL.

I HAVE RUN THE FIRST RACE SESSION.  I HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A SIMPLE WIN/LOSS RECORD FOR RANKING CARS AND TEAMS AS OPPOSED TO A RATING SYSTEM WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A LOT OF WORK.  HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE A LITTLE LESS CONFUSING FOR ALL INVOLVED : )

HERE ARE THE RESULTS OF EVERY TEAMS FIRST TWO RACES...



 WIN/LOSS RECORDS ENTERED AND TEAMS NOW RANKED IN THE FIRST POST



  • Man, DNFs suck in HW racing!! — iowastockcars

I am going to allow Iowastockcars, 72Chevy, and Kharvest to choose another car to replace the "damaged-in-the-package" cars they chose.  They will still carry the two loses for those cars' first two races, but I don't want to see them suffer an 0-4 record right out of the gate because I offered up a faulty car that for all they knew should have been competitive.  I'm going to do the same thing for anyone else that chooses a car that turns out to have in-package damage.


  • Okay, everyone has chosen a replacement. I'll try and run the next races on Wednesday. — JDC442

Looks like my team is ok so far"...now how to beat the upstart K&O?

  • You can only replace a car that has lost at least 3 out of 4 races — JDC442
  • Make your replacement picks under the 3rd Post -Replacement Post — JDC442

My apologies to Traction Event.  I noticed that his #4 Firebird 400 had only lost one race instead of two.  I've made all of the necessary corrections.  He is now tied for first with KandORacing.
