1960 SCRAM Series, Revised

Posted on by

I’ve expanded the 1960 SCRAM Racing Series from 19 races to 29 races, doubling up on the non-road course tracks, and adding PLAAY.com sponsorship to the event names.

My plans are to run this and two other racing series (1984 NASCAR, 2016 SCRAM) in my unscheduled sports gaming replay rotation, which seems to have settled on baseball (1921/1971 Giants), soccer (2011-12 Spurs), auto racing, and hockey (1966-67 Maple Leafs).  I don’t have the patience or interest in basketball or football at the moment, but that may change as the year goes on.

I may even dip into a few more neglected games/replays.

Stay tuned!

SCRAM 1960: Race 1

The Southern 500 from the Southern Super Speedway

Race Results and Current Standings:

I arbitrarily picked the #42 Chevy and driver Boyce Daly as the CS Motorsports team for this series, and the pre-race activities resulted in Daly and the #42 getting suspended for 2 races because officials discovered “out-of-tolerance” engine adjustments on the car.

I’m guessing that this will ruin his chances at the championship.  Ah well.

Next up: the EverSport Outdoor 301 @ Gulf Coast Speedway.

Stay tuned!

PLAAY Holiday Sale 2020

Posted on by

No sign of the two missing MLB NL card sets.

But did pick up a few PDFs from PLAAY.com‘s 2020 Holiday sale, including:

  • a new jai-alai game
  • the NFL/AFL 1969 season for Second Season football
  • the MLB 1975 season for History Maker Baseball, which comes full circle since the sample teams in my original boxed game were the 2 World Series teams from 1975
  • the 1960 SCRAM (fictional) season for Red White & Blue Racing

Of the 4 I’ve already printed out the racing set, and am currently making the schedule for the Replay To Be Started Soon™.

The funny thing is that just last week I was wondering if PLAAY was ever going to come out with a 1960s season set for the game.  Hopefully a NASCAR set will be produced from that era.

I’m still hoping that those two season sets show up.

Stay tuned!
