2013: Stock Car Racing America, Race 8

Let’s play catch up!

I ran this race back in early July, but never logged it into the system.

April 28th, 2013: the Dot Cola 400 @ Dixie Regional Raceway.

Race results:

Cam Croyle wins his first race of the season.

Current standings:

Parnell Drake maintains his lead at the top of the standings, ahead of Ray Bob Walker.

Next: the Fast Cash Financial 600 @Eastern Seaboard Speedway.

Stay tuned!

Games!

It’s been a busy week of 3D printing, building and painting a pitch for Blood Bowl.

It’s about finished, so I think I’ll be playing a couple of games over the next couple of days.

Back to SCRAM 2013, above everything else, and the 1971 Giants replay.

And perhaps a football game.

Stay tuned!

Golf, Revisited, Again

It’s been over a year since I played a golf game, and about the same amount of time since receiving the TPC Harding Park course for ASG Golf.

Since I now live practically next door to the course, I figure it’s high time that I played a round.

Or maybe two, since I have the course in two different golf games (ASG and History Maker Golf).

And I think I can include myself in HMG.

Stay tuned!

2013: Stock Car Racing America, Race 6

April 14th, 2013: the Reliable Rental Car 500 @ Texas National Motor Raceway.

Race results:

I believe Pete MacAtee’s win from 42nd place may be the farthest back in the field that a winner has come from.

Current standings:

Ray Bob Walker maintains his points lead as Parnell Drake slips back to 3rd place, while Joey Wilson leap frogs to 2nd place.

Next: the Southern 600 @ Southern Super Speedway.

Stay tuned!

HMH: PT Practice Game

I randomly chose 2 coaches and 2 dozen players from PLAAY’s 75 All-Time Great Set and played a game.

The Teams:

Team Popovich (Gregg Popovich, Coach)
Starters:
Steph Curry
Michael Jordan
Scottie Pippen
Lebron James
Nate Thurmond

Bench:
Nate Archibald
Oscar Robertson
Paul Arizin
Rick Barry
Paul Pierce
Moses Malone
Willis Reed

Team Daly (Chuck Daly, Coach)
Starters:
Gary Payton
Ray Allen
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Elgin Baylor
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Bench:
Bob Cousy
Jason Kidd
Sam Jones
Dave Debusschere
Dolph Schayes
Bob McAdoo
Robert Parish

Final Score:

Team Popovich 163
Team Daly 108

Team Daly started off leading the game early, but then a switch was flipped and Team Popovich dominated both offensively and defensively, leading by as much as 70+ at one point.

This is the first basketball game that I really enjoy playing, mostly due to the way the PLAAY engine works.

I may keep these two teams intact, and randomly assign the rest of the set to teams and run a round robin tournament.

As if I didn’t have more than enough sports replays running.

Stay tuned!

Hoops Revisited

After watching a play-through video, I see a lot of mistakes I made during that first game of Highlight Maker Hoops Prime Time.

So I’ll have to replay that one game I played between Cleveland and Boston.  I’ll call the first one a practice game.

In the meantime,  I’m going to run another practice game using the NBA 75th anniversary set, two teams of randomly picked players and coaches.

Stay tuned!
