The main change is putting the 1967 Warriors on hold, along with the 1988 Mets (revisited) replay. I anticipate playing a soccer game with PSV soon, and hopefully starting basketball and hockey in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned!

In Progress, Revised
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!

Racing Update
2016: SCRAM Race #5
2016: SCRAM Race #4
Bingo chips
So what’s with the Bingo chips that I got today?
In Red White & Blue Racing, there are certain drivers in every race that are designated as ‘TV drivers’, who are featured (for good or bad reasons) during the race week, and get a better chance in qualifying and in advancing forward during a race.
In the original game, the TV drivers are identified by a slightly different colored card.
But another player on the PLAAY.com Facebook page showed off his idea of using a different colored ‘chip’ to designate the TV drivers.
The ones that I got are slightly bigger than the game’s original blue ‘performance’ chips, which are used by drivers to win or fend off challenges for position with other drivers.
This change eliminates the need for the second set of cards, thus speeding up setup and reducing the contents in the box.
This may or may not change the likelihood of me playing this game more often. Which is good considering the number of race seasons I have and the current replays I have running (SCRAM 2016, SCRAM Trucks Pepsi Cup, Winston Cup 1979).
Stay tuned!
2016: SCRAM Race #3
Mail Call
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!
2016: SCRAM Race #2
March 6, 2016: The Ice Brew 600 @ the Northern Lights Motordome, Northern USA:
Race winner: Austin Bigler, #77 Shinra Electric Chevy
After 2 races (and a long gap between those two races), Geoff Daly, Jr. leads the series by a point over Tom Rossi.
Both Bigler and Rossi started deep in the field (37th and 38th) and made their way to the front to finish 1st and 2nd, respectively.
Next up: the Gulf Oil 500 @ the Gulf Coast Motor Speedway, US Gulf Coast.
Stay tuned!
