    N Gauger: I am sorry - I thought my last post when I said "I was game to give it a try and use Ryan Newman as my driver" was all you needed. But, Yes! I would like to play. Dwight77

    Chicken or the egg ?

    I agree with theBear, I would take some time and run and run and run your trains over every possible route and direction and make sure you don't have any bad spots physically or electrically. Dwight77

    I think I have an idea of how it works.....probably gets easier after the first race or two. I am game to give it a try and can I select Ryan Newman as my driver? Dwight77

    You could always throw in a "PINK FLAMINGO" for Florida. Just kidding. The track idea sounds good.

    Gauge Nextel Fantasy

If everyone gets their favorite driver and there are six listed, what is the next step???? Sorry to be such a pain..... Dwight77
