    Driver Change: dumping Jeffie in the Cup race and going with Bowyer

  13. NICE!!!!! How much did Edwards pay that Jobroni?

    I'll take Webber in F-1, and dump Kyle's wreckage.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Ditto- the Beagle is also dumping Kyle and the Nationwide for Vettel in F1

    ReplyDelete
  15. BOOM! I dunno if I like this new rule of being able to dump drivers/races! LOL I gotta catch up somehow!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Kristen- we had the same rule last year for the BYO Trfectas. There is a 5 point penalty for making the change.

    Congrats to dwindy on his 1st win of the season.

    IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER:

    Until the Beagle gets her eyesight back, the Trifecta will not be posted until sometime after 5:00pm CDT(her seeing eye typist doesn't get home from work until 5.) Hopefully it won't be too long, but we're not holding our breath :o(.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Nice one, Dwindy :)

    I appear to be picking the right F1 team, just not the right driver, LOL

    ReplyDelete
  29. Congrats Dwindy! I almost had it...dang that Helio! He needs to concentrate on driving and stop dreaming about dancing the Mambo with me!


    SB I hope you find your glasses soon!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Kristen-

    I wish I could wear glasses. I lost a $300 contact lens, and between that and the $200 eye exam to get a new prescription, it's probably going to be a while.

  31. Hey everybody!

    What's the one about the old blind squirrel finding an acorn every once in a while?

    Kristen... You should be the winner but your love interests keep getting in the way!

    SB, hope your vision problems are remedied... Lasik maybe?

    tez... Can Vettel win three in a row?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Good job Dwindy! Congratulations on winning from the pole! He was the Matt Kenseth of this Trifecta!

    ReplyDelete
  33. dwindy- for me, it's either the contact lenses or cornea transplants. The lenses- while expensive- are easier on the wallet.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Congrats, Dwindy!!

    SB... take your time on the posts, we'll wait (:
