A couple of FABO players spoke up concerning "memike" and "Snake" forgetting to post picks for Fontana and talked me into a slight change of the rules:

All players now get a 1-time "mulligan" - it's not a "do over", it's simply a "carry over" of your picks from the previous race should you, somehow, forget to post new picks and your picks were not previously "locked in".
I don't want to hear any, "...but I meant to pick...", or any other reasons.
It's a 1-time only "carry over".
You don't post picks for a later event and your picks aren't "locked in" - you're getting last-place points for both picks.

Good luck to all this weekend. Have a family (wife's Aunt) memorial this weekend down south of Chicago, so I don't think I'll be seeing any of the race.

No Pole pick bonus points for Martinsville.
Larson won the Pole but not your confidence.

Inclement weather in Martinsville today so no qualifying bonus points

Congratulations to 'Budnicks' (FBBO) for being the only one to pick #4 Happy Harvick to win the Texas Pole.
He picked up -1 bonus points with his 'locked in' Pole pick.

I'm going to be at my Inland Mopars Car Club monthly club activity, won't have access to a television and probably won't see any of the race.
So, the cutoff time to post your race picks for Texas will be 11:30AM EDT (2:30PM PDT) whether the race starts at that time or not.
