Let’s Go Racin’, Boys!
So.
That’s 45 races left to finish the 3 racing series that I’m currently running.
I can probably finish the Truck Series in a week or so, I’m going to shoot for that by the beginning of February.
Winston Cup ’79 can be tied up in a couple of weeks or more, maybe I can finish that in February.
SCRAM ’16 will take longer, maybe I can finish in March or April.
This is of course subject to change due to scheduling and whatever other games I may be distracted by.
Plans moving past the series completions are to start the 1989 Winston Cup Series and the 2017 SCRAM Series. I want to avoid having 3 series going at the same time, again, until I get to the 1999 Winston Cup Series and the 2018 SCRAM Series, where I will also run the 2018 SCRAM-B Series.
I never stopped being a race fan, I just stopped being a NASCAR fan.
Stay tuned!

I’ve cut back on projects by picking the full season replays that I plan to actually play in the next 3 months or so. This eliminated a few long dormant items on my list, allowing me to focus on what I’m already playing, and also allows me to narrow the choices on what else to play.
I’ve also separated the ‘short’ projects (less than a season, individual pitcher seasons, playoff runs) into their own list.
And of course there’s stuff like the heavyweight boxing tournament in Title Bout II and the Facebook Friends Wrestling Federation in Face to the Mat which are more like casual pick-up games that don’t require a schedule.
I hope to finally tally a game in both hockey and basketball fairly soon.
Stay tuned!

1979: Giants Replay, Game 1
I was looking through one of my game boxes and found that I had the 1979 MLB season for Statis Pro Baseball.
I then checked my BallStat scoring program to see if I had played any games from this season.
Sure enough, I did.
