KawiDave - I appriciate the fact that you are up to date on all this stuff as am I, however I personally feel that if people can't do a little reading and figure this stuff out on their own then more power to those of us that take the time and effort it takes to try and do well in this series. I wish you wouldn't post this stuff. I know you are just trying to be nice and helpful, but we need all the help we can get this year as we are sucking it up... No hard feeling just my thought.

Good luck to everyone this week.

[KawiDave]

Not a Problem.....I won't do it anymore.....No Practice times Either....

No Hard Feelings, I know what your saying.......

[TeamTillamook]

Thanks.... but I don't want everyone jumping down my throat for requesting it. Maybe we should take a vote???

posts / no posts -

practice times/no practice times -

personally I like the pracitce times, even though I sit intensely in front of my computer all day waiting for them to show up, but it allows me to be a tad lazy and not copy and paste them my self, but if you decide not to post practice times, it wont hurt me any

[Dizzturbed]

I don't mind if you post it. It's all pretty much on the front page of RacerX anyway.

Please don't stop the practice times. And race information

[MotoAce51]

I like the injury report. I dont catch all the injurys and working all the time doesnt let me read hours on the internet to find out all the info. Plus it lets you see what these riders deal with. If someone is willing to post it they should be able too. No need to hate....

[TeamTillamook]

Ummm, I'm not hating, but just so you know the rest of work all the time and still put int he effort to look around and find out what is gone. IF you can't go to a website or two then that's your problem. Do the leg work like the rest of us. If would have read what I wrote I was very nice and thanked Dave but all of us know what it takes to do well and getting all the info handed to you is plain lazy.... Just my 2 cents as I said before.

[hesslermx]

It dont matter either way, you pick the best four guys and two of them DNF. keep on posting Dave!!!!!! It is what it is, do the work yourself and someone hits the ground, this is racing motocross if you are picking winners with points added and hot riders looking at practice times dont really help all that much. Thats my thoughts.

[Dizzturbed]

I guess I'm just not the worried about getting beat by somebody. It is what it is. Most Fantasy Football sites all have reports tied to the players you have. All you have to do is click on them and it gives you a full report on how they are doing. Dave posting that info on here is pretty much the same thing. I was out of town last week so on Friday night I just got on my phone and picked 4 riders real quick and ended up finishing 3rd in two of the divisions. While I find the info helpful, I don't think it is a huge factor on where people finish.

[MotoAce51]

I just do this for fun and never placed in the top 10-15 but I still do it. To be honest some of the riders I never would have even looked at to see if they were ok or hurt. I could care less, I have only checked the injury report once and it was only to see what happened to Reed and why he wasnt on the list last week. To each their own.
