The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
October 21, 1979: American 500
Race Results and current standings:
A late race clutch problem knocks Darrell Waltrip out of the race as Richard Petty increases his lead by 66 points.
Historically, Petty won this race and took over the points lead from Waltrip.
Your race winner, Ricky Rudd!
Historically, Rudd didn’t win his first Winston Cup race until 1983 in the Budweiser 400 @ Riverside.
Next: the Dixie 500 @ Atlanta International Speedway.
Stay tuned!
October 14, 1979: Holly Farms 400
Race Results and current standings:
A late race incident sent Darrell Waltrip to the back of the field, allowing Richard Petty to take the points lead by 13 points, with 3 races to go.
Your race winner, Bobby Allison!
Next: the American 500 @ North Carolina Speedway.
Stay tuned!
The Southern 500 from the Southern Super Speedway
Race Results and Current Standings:
I arbitrarily picked the #42 Chevy and driver Boyce Daly as the CS Motorsports team for this series, and the pre-race activities resulted in Daly and the #42 getting suspended for 2 races because officials discovered “out-of-tolerance” engine adjustments on the car.
I’m guessing that this will ruin his chances at the championship. Ah well.
Next up: the EverSport Outdoor 301 @ Gulf Coast Speedway.
Stay tuned!
No sign of the two missing MLB NL card sets.
But did pick up a few PDFs from PLAAY.com‘s 2020 Holiday sale, including:
Of the 4 I’ve already printed out the racing set, and am currently making the schedule for the Replay To Be Started Soon™.
The funny thing is that just last week I was wondering if PLAAY was ever going to come out with a 1960s season set for the game. Hopefully a NASCAR set will be produced from that era.
I’m still hoping that those two season sets show up.
Stay tuned!
One problem I have is finding time to play games.
A further problem is preparing print-and-play games for play.
Case in point:
I originally purchased this game during PLAAY.com’s 2018 holiday sale, and even printed out the game and the expansion team set that was sold separately.
The original teams:
The first 4 expansion teams:
I let the game sit on a shelf, and every time they released another expansion, I’d get it and print it out, but I only ever cut out the original 8 teams.
By the time I collected the rest of the teams they had released the game as a boxed edition. And since I already had everything in print-and-play format, I decided against buying the boxed edition.
I finally did get around to cutting out the 16 remaining expansion teams, and have yet to cut out the international expansion teams.
I did manage to print and cut out the coach cards, and assigned a coach to each of the 24 teams.
Now I just need to figure out a play format, and a league format, though 12 teams per conference and 4 teams per division makes the most sense, I suppose. At least until I introduce the International teams into the mix.
And I suppose I should play an exhibition game or two so I can learn how the game plays.
Stay tuned!
