Is there any interest in forming a [Yahoo fantasy racing league](http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/racing/rrules/rrules-01.html)? Yahoo hasn’t set up the league yet, but based on last year’s rules, > [@](#): > > Each week, before qualifying begins, you choose an eight-driver team from among three groupings of eligible drivers. Then, before the race, you will select four starting drivers for your team. If there is interest (meaning maybe 7 or more), I will keep an eye on Yahoo, form the league, e-mail anyone who has voiced interest to let them know to go in and set themselves up, and start a new thread as a “last call” for participation. Any takers? ---

No, but if you enter your driver choices with excessively rough keystrokes, or cuss out another person using words beginning in ‘F’, I will fine you and deduct points. That oughta learn you. ---

Sounds interesting, I’m in. Creative way to get around the fact that most people would just pick their favorite driver to win every race. ---

Count me in. I was looking at that during the Fantasy Football season and thought it looked interesting, but couldn’t get enough people to sign up. ---

Only two more weeks to go. Invite family and friends if you’d like. It’s not limited to SDMB users. There are no prizes, except for pride and any side bets which are not endorsed by SDMB or its affiliates. Bruce\_Daddy offered up some trash talk and I invited him to put his case of beer where his mouth is. It’s all in fun, though. Just in case they do vanity searches, I’ll include a few names that pop into mind: brianjedi, racinchikki, racer72. Feel free to add potential vanity search names to this thread, too. ---
