  1. Nice bonus with the GS C&P Club set- the 'Turtle-kinz' tag. But newer collectors be aware that the tag is a DUPLICATE/PROXY for the coin= send the bonus out traveling and you're activating the coin. Just noting in case you like to keep your coins unactivated for trades etc.

    First thing I thought was "Wow, they threw in a tag this month!" Glad I looked closer and noticed it was marked as a dupe, or I coulda ended up a dope!

  2. 'Lucky Dog' definitely will keep this one interesting (as well as make my update commentaries pretty much useless. Team with the 'worst worst week' at end might wind up benefiting from drop in a close battle. Curious to see how this one works out! For example I'm (Skidmarks) in lead by 9 points despite having 29 fewer total points(my 'Lucky Dog' drop is 226 vs Kensay's 264). And Crazy Canuck is ahead of 3 teams with more total points! Gonna be a fun ride!

  3. NASCAR Fantasy Cointest!......

     

    B) BIG CHANGE:

    Prize coins sent to me by 3rd race, I'll distribute at end of season. This would facilitate doing following to keep a bit more interest/incentive through season:

     

    Will wait 'til after Giants take the Bowl for feedback before committing to changes...

     

    VG- You're safe B) NASCAR gives five laps to acknowledge a Black Flag, I'm only giving 2 laps (races) to send... if not received by 3rd lap/race I stop counting laps

  4. Oh, okay. :( Thanks, Droo.

    The 'Crappy Cache Award' coins came in grab bags a few years ago from GeoSwag/Oakcoins and I believe they sold them on the site for a while. I got 3 or 4 of them back in 2007 or 2008? when I got bags to start collecting & mission-ing. Kept 1, gave 1 to my niece, and gave others away in caches and missions.

    Keep your eyes open, watch out on prices as they weren't all that rare at time they came out and I'm sure there are plenty out there that may become available.

  5. I'm a huge NASCAR fan; I would love to play. I don't fully understand the rules yet but hope to. What do I do to sign up?

     

    To join, send me an email via profile with your team name and I'll send you group ID & password. 'Understanding' isn't required to do well, right Mauison? :rolleyes:

    Check out this link for rules & hints:

    Basically, all the drivers are split into 3 classes by some magical YAHOO formula , A (Elite- Gordon,Johnson,Stewart etc), B (Good- a shot at winning every week-Burton, Jr, Kayne etc), and C ('start and park' will either drop out at first pit stop or wreck causing first stop- Nemecheck, rookies, Nationwide drivers up for a few races seasoning, and road course ringers).

    You pick a team (roster) of 2 from 'A', 4 from 'B', and 2 from 'C'. You get bonus points for any of these drivers qualifying 1st-4th.

    Before race, you pick 'Starters' 1- A, 2-Bs, and 1-C who will earn points for you in the race based on finish, with bonus for laps led. Your bench does not earn race points.

    You can make changes to your roster before qualifying, and adjust your starters up until just before green flag.

    You can only start a driver 9 times, races on bench don't count toward this (so if you have a good qualifier but have used him 7 or 8 races you can park him on your bench for bonus points if he qualifies well.
