I’ve decided to focus on finishing up the 2012 SCRAM racing series before dong anything else (baseball, hockey, soccer), mainly because this came in on Wednesday:

I also have the 1960 SCRAM season underway, so I’d like to finish one (or both?) of these before starting another season.

At this rate I may play out all the SCRAM seasons (2012-2023) before getting back to NASCAR seasons for this game.  Maybe alternate between SCRAM and NASCAR?

Stay tuned!
