FOFC Winston Cup Season 8 Signup

Here is the sign up for Season 8. All people who want to join please sign up here. I would like all current drivers to also post stating their desire to return to the series. We always welcome new drivers, but there are not that many spots that are open. If you would like to join the series, please post an application and you will be admitted when I know how many current drivers are staying in the series. I would expect around 10 openings for new drivers.

New Driver App - Please give me your driver name and either a number you would want or sponsor you would like. If you give a sponsor please also give a number in case that sponsor cannot be found.

All new drivers please PM with your stats. The following will explain how to create your drivers stats. Also, any current driver who is not happy with how their driver finished this past season and would like to create a new stat set do the same as new drivers would and send me a pm with the new stats.


You have 200 points to add to the first stat set. The Min can go no lower than 70. The Max can go no higher than 100. Their must always be at least 5 points between your Min and Max.

Driver Stats
Agression: Min 70 Max 75
Consistency: Min 70 Max 75
Finishing: Min 70 Max 75
Qualifying: Min 70 Max 75
Road Course: Min 70 Max 75
Short Tracks: Min 70 Max 75
Speedways: Min 70 Max 75
Super Speedways: Min 70 Max 75

You will 100 points to add to the car stat set. Same rules apply as the first.

Car Stats
Aerodynamics: Min 70 Max 75
Chassis: Min 70 Max 75
Engine: Min 70 Max 75
Reliability: Min 70 Max 75

For the third set you will have 75 points to add.

Angel Reaper would like to withdraw from Season 8. I obviously have bad stats and don't know what needs to be changed, so just take me out and let someone else get my spot.

Perhaps posting the Previous seasons Champion Statistics would be good? people could then adjust their stats after seeing a set that won a title.

Rewbie Newsday back in action, keep the stats. Curious, though, about adding a second driver to the Newsday team, ala Snow. Kinda jealous that I have to compete against Chris, Telle, and the others. But, be that as it may, Rewbie "The Milkman" Newsday ready to dunk some Oreos in the #12 car!

For a listing of current cars and numbers check the season 7 thread and look at any of the standings listed, it will show you each driver name and car number currently in use.

For tips on setting up your stats feel free to PM me. I'd put them right in the thread but I'm not sure Gold wants me to queue the entire world in on the same stat set.

I have the feeling that if you posted stats similar to yours I'd be flooded with 40 PM's with the same stats.

hehe, exactly. I figure if I give them clues one a few things they will make up stuff thats not all the same. and if they have to PM me to get that info, there won't be as many either.

When you have a chance, could you email me Chris Snow's stats. I thought they were pretty much the same as the other three, but I want to double check. I doubt I'll change them. last season HAD to be a fluke.....

Just thought I'd put a link out there for people who are interested in possibly having a new car in the series this season or new drivers who want to look for a car.

http://www.nascarnet.com

I am using Nascar Racing 2002 for this series so the car would have to be for that game. Any current driver is allowed to get a new car if they would like.

New Driver

Mask Racing Adds A Second Driver

Bobby Mask's racing team has added a second driver to their group. Bobby's younger brother Andre. Andre Mask will be driving the #5 Cingular Wireless car, the same sponsor that sponsor's Bobby's #62 car.

Bobby Mask said the addition of the second driver is to be able to compete with the big time drivers in the sport. "Almost all of the top drivers seem to be on a team," he said. "Look at Snow Motorsports, Chris, Telle, Ren and Kai Collins. Then you have Nick Phillips and Mustafa Henderson on a team. And also Taco Money and Mr. Buttercup Jr. And now Rewbie Newsday and Rewbie Bluesday."

I have been thinking of adding 5 races to the schedule for Season 8. This would put the number of races at 25. I was wondering if everyone thought that this would be a good move.

Daytona 500 - Daytona(Night)
Bass Pro Shops 500 - Atlanta
Subway 500 - Martinsville
Zenjoltis 500 - Zenjoltis
Protection One 400* - Kansas
Sharpie 500 - Bristol(Night)
Dodge Dealers 400 - Darlington
Dodge/Save Mart 350 - Sears Point
Brickyard 400 - Indianapolis
Coca-Cola 600 - Lowe's(Night)
Tropicana 500 - Chicagoland
Sirius Satelite 400 - Michigan(Night)
Sylvania 300* - New Hampshire
EA Sports 500 - Talladega
Sirius at The Glen* - Watkins Glen
Pontiac Excitement 400 - Richmond(Night)
Samsung/Radio Shack 500 - Texas
Pop Secret 400 - North Carolina(Night)
Pepsi 400 - Daytona(Night)
Coca-Cola 500 - Coca-Cola
Auto Club 500* - California
MBNA 400*- Dover
Pocono 500 - Pocono
Checker Auto Parts 500 - Phoenix
Ford 400 - Homestead

I'd just to know what everyone here thinks about the change.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be around Friday and will not be around Saturday or Sunday. The deadline for entries into the series will be Monday at 12 noon. All Season 7 drivers who have not signed up yet have until then to do so.

It is based off of NASCAR Racing - Season 2003 (which is a racing game produced by Papyrus). It is a NASCAR sim where you can drive the cars. However, for the purpose of our little dynasty here, it is set up so that none of us actually drive. We simply specify attributes for our team (Driver, Car, and Pit categories) and gold101 sims the races. Then we sit back and watch as our team flounders (in my case) or flourishes (in RendeR's case) in the FOFC (Winston) Cup points.

Let me know if you want more detailed information and I will gladly comply.
