Grand National Drivers List

The updated driver list for the Grand National Pioneers Series.

Eleven drivers added from Pete Adams’ ‘Local Yokels’ freebie set.

That’s 60+ drivers vying for 43 starting grid spots, even though I know that starting grids were much bigger back then.

No changes to the race schedule.

The first and last races are held on fictional race tracks, which I’ve located in Hanford, Washington and Fresno, California.

Stay tuned!

Pepsi Racing League: Race #18

The Series Finale!

The Pepsi 400 from the Southern Super Speedway.

Race results and final standings:

Final race results:

The 2016 Pepsi Cup Racing Series comes to an end.

PLAAY doesn’t appear to be releasing another Truck Series car set, so this is it.  No more truck racing.

I do believe that some of these drivers appear in later PLAAY SCRAM series.  I may transfer Louttit, Gayle and Saguisag to one of these other series, someday.  Perhaps the 2018 SCRAM-B series?

Next up: the Grand National Pioneers Series begins!

Stay tuned!

Pepsi Racing League: Race #17

The Cortana 300 from the Western Frontier Raceway.

Race results and current standings:

Nick Holo clinches the points lead and the Pepsi Cup Championship due to poor finishes by Phil Clooney  and Ricky Sellars, his two closest competitors going into this race.

Next: the season finale, the Pepsi 400 from the Southern Super Speedway.

The championship has been decided, so this race is more for pride and bragging rights than anything else.

Stay tuned!

Racing

I should just start every racing series that I have planned.

Or not.

I don’t think there’s enough room in the game box for all the card sets.

Plus I would need to print out more scoring sheets.

And then I’d burn myself out on racing, like I did with baseball.

And then I’d go back to baseball.  Or start football and soccer again.

Ah well.  Maybe I’ll just play Terraforming Mars or Leaving Earth.

Stay tuned!

Soccer: EPL 1985-86

I have a bad habit of picking up games and/or season sets for games and never playing with them.

That said, PLAAY Games has announced the upcoming release of the English Pro League 1985-86 season set.  I don’t think I have any soccer sets from the 1980s.

I probably will not know a single player in that set.  At least with the 1977 North American Soccer League set I knew… one guy, and that was Pelé.

And it’s been a while since I actually sat down and played a game of Soccer Blast.

All this means is that I’ll probably end up ordering the set and sitting on it indefinitely.

Ah well.

Stay tuned!
