Qualifying: 2013 Bitty Beer 400

Posted on by

BREAKING NEWS:

Points leader Parnell Jones (engine failure) and previous race (CropMaster Tracktor 300) winner Jordy Pettis (suspension problem) have both failed to qualify for this week’s Bitty Beer 400 at the Southern Super Speedway.

This gives Tom Rossi a chance to take the points lead with a 6th place finish or better.  He starts deep in the field in 36th position.

I conducted the qualifying session for the Bitty Beer 400 before going to bed, and the results surprised me enough that I felt the need to document it immediately.

I don’t believe I’ve ever had both the points leader and previous race winner *not* qualify for the following race.

Stay tuned!

 

Let’s Go Racin’ Boys!

It’s the start of the NASCAR season this weekend, so my plan is to run at least one SCRAM 2013 race on Sunday, and perhaps a couple more during the week.

I’ve said elsewhere that I want to play something more consistently, and Red White & Blue Racin’ is game that I can run a tabletop race in a reasonable amount of time, probably quicker than an average baseball simulation, and definitely much faster than a non-express soccer/hockey/football game simulation.

I have about 14 races left in the 2013 SCRAM season, which can be finished in a couple of months, if I can manage to run 2 races a week.

As for baseball, I believe I have about 64 games left in the 1971 SF Giants season, and more than that (90) in the 1921 NY Giants season.  If I can finish one of those by the end of the year I’ll call it a big success.

That would require me to play about six 1971 games a month and/or nine 1921 games a month.

So those are my tabletop sports goals for the rest of 2025.  We’ll see how much I can get accomplished.

Stay tuned!
