We have one spot left as of a few minutes ago, if you have someone interested post up their name and contact info and make sure they are committed!

so how are teams going to be made this time around?

I am open to suggestions, but I'm personally leaning towards completely random, i.e. drawing names out of a hat. Last time I tried to match people up by their previous lap times which worked for some teams and not others, and if we just left it up to the entrants to choose we'd get some superstar teams that wouldn't be very fair. Randomizing gives everyone a chance and helps people meet each other.

[Jake]

I'll have checks from Ben and Steve for ya at this week's meeting.

[rezarxt]

They are going to let me know tonight. They will probably split the $40 and take turns driving. That cool? Whats your number goodspeed Ill text you when I know for sure tonight.

[Dave]

I kinda like randomizing too for the social aspect and not having any "ringer" teams. Of course, whatever team has Dr. Thomas almost instantly has a win, unless all of his teammates are hungover.

[D_Eclipse9916]

I am up for randomizing, last team choices didnt mix well because you had some people who didnt care how they did with those who have competitive edges and wanted to win. This frustrated at least me.

[HAULN-SS]

Couldn't you force everyone to have a new partner every time, and have them keep a running total of their best lap times, and somehow determine the fastest person from that? and fastest team kind of the same way..i dunno..just an idea

[xvxax]

I don't know about you guys, but I have been vigorously training for this event. I have been catching flies with chopsticks and waxing on and off since last tuesday. It's going down.

[Jake]

OK update - Ben is out. Last minute stuff happened and he has to go home that weekend.

Steve is a go, I have his money already.
