The problem with reopening the picks is that everyone would have had a chance to see everyone else's picks when it first locked down. Yahoo always reopened the rosters if the race was delayed and I loved it because I could see my competitor's picks and make changes accordingly to possibly gain an advantage.

Looking over my picks , I probably should have looked over my picks before the final lock! LOL! It is what it is!
what really bothers me is my Slingshot picks. I’ve put in two different lineups— still not sure which is best! WHY CAN’T I let it go??? Kurt B starting 28th or Bell starting 15 th—- also too many cheap drivers to pick from! Oh well, I know the answer is to stick with the Last one entered!
Over thinking much???? Good luck everyone!

Guess I had better get started on some yard work so I can watch the Fiasco later-Good Luck.

I've got more than 5 viable lineups for SS! LOL! Somehow, more lineup configurations in that game is not necessarily better.That Slingshot can drive you nuts. Only 2 different lineups? I think I'm on my 4th and looking at a 5th. (actually they've been called liters for years)

I'm caught between place differential and short track racing where going a lap down can happen very quickly.Looking over my picks , I probably should have looked over my picks before the final lock! LOL! It is what it is!

As of now my highest starting position is 25th, they better all gain some positions and all not wreck or blow engines.I've got more than 5 viable lineups for SS! LOL! Somehow, more lineup configurations in that game is not necessarily better.

Sounds like we are working with the same type lineup! I am afraid a lot of people will have the same..

Exactly! Not sure whether it's worth it to go against the grain with picks on a completely unknown race though.
Just pick them and strategize your picks on a race we have better stats on.

If Larsen were starting on the pole —that wouldn’t even be a question! It may not be anyway! Hope they are quick enough. You almost have to take one or two!I'm caught between place differential and short track racing where going a lap down can happen very quickly.

If Slingshot scored drivers from where they actually started Larson would be a stone cold lock but certainly not if he is scored starting first! I usually drive myself crazy second guessing my lineup and find my first guess was the best.

I hardly ever take the pole sitter. (Larsen might certainly be the exception if he started 1st) But you can be sure he would have lapped those starting at the back!

Some of us are in some of the same leagues—in any case- after the race starts it might be interesting if we compare lineups. Interesting to follow during the race!

I don't think that's a possibility in SS though. I think you can only see "picks" there after the race/scoring is completed.

According to Bristol: They farmed the track overnight. They tilled the surface and used the motor grader to smooth it out and get the bumpiness out and resealed this morning. The track is dry and actually adding moisture this morning.
