1979: College Station

June 3rd, 1979: Texas 400

Race results and current standings:

Your race winner, in real life and in this replay, Darrel Waltrip!

Despite starting 4th, Waltrip had an early race incident which sent him to the back of the field.  This was a hard fought win, as he charged through the pack to lead the final 5 laps for the victory.

Next: the NAPA Riverside 400 @ Riverside International Raceway.

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!

Schedule

Yeah, this never has worked for me: setting up a schedule for what to play on any given day.

I had a table that I rolled dice one to try to determine what game I would play on a given night.  Didn’t work, never stuck to it, and it was edited many times as I finished a given replay.

I want to try to organize my play between sports games and war games, so maybe I should just alternate my weekly focus from one to the other, because I’ve actually found myself frozen into inaction as I try to decide between the two hobbies.  I end up doing neither and spending too much time online or wallowing in my own indecision.

So starting this week, I’ll continue with the war games (Bataan! is my primary focus), and switch to sports next week, just in time for the big racing day of 2017 (Monaco GP/Indy 500/World 600), which happens to fall on my sister’s birthday.  Focus will be on baseball and (of course) racing games.

And maybe wrestling.

Stay tuned!
