1967: NASCAR & USAC Champ Car

Posted on March 22, 2018 by Chris S.

Today I learned that the designer for the Daring Racers game has expanded his other racing series options.

I picked up the 1967 seasons for NASCAR and USAC Champ Car.

The 1967 champions in those series were Richard Petty and A.J. Foyt, respectively.

These should be fun to replay.

Stay tuned!

Mail Call

Posted on March 9, 2018 by Chris S.

Two items from PLAAY.com in the mail:

History Maker Baseball 5.0 rule book and game book: updated rules/charts and stuff, good prompt to get me back into this game
Red White & Blue Racin’ 2018 SCRAM season set: currently running the 2016 season, may get the 2017 season before starting this one

How many racing series can I concurrently run before going nuts? I’m doing 3 so far.

And perhaps I should also revisit the Bay Area Baseball League, while I’m at it.

Stay tuned!

Racing

I may not watch NASCAR anymore, but that doesn’t mean my interest in racing stopped.

I’m gonna run a few 1979 Winston Cup races for the next week or so.

Next up is the Sun-Drop Music City USA 420 from Nashville Speedway.

Through 10 races, I’ve only had one winner in my replay, who won the same race in real life.

Stay tuned!
