     I just wanted to say thanks to all of the people that made last season a great experience. I got to know some great folks. I got some great news today, but not great news for fantasy racing. My company that I work for is restructuring the region and giving me more work than I can handle. I will not be able to host the challenge this season. Last season I didn't update results til Wednesday sometimes, with my work load doubling, it would be like Friday at times. This is unacceptable for running a competition and if I was a player, that would not cut it. I will be required to travel between 3 states during the week, thus making it impossible to run this alone as I did last year. In late February/early March,  I leave my home in Georgia and head to Tennessee for a week of training. I laid it all on the table and talked it over with my wife and there's not enough hours in a day or enough of me to go around. If things realign again, there could be something for 2013 season, but as of now No Advancements have been made toward automating the system, speeding it up or other features (due to lack of funding) which is reason for not turning the position down, It was a rough year. I caught wind of this potential career move a couple weeks ago but didn't want to announce it too soon and it fall through causing a false alarm. Now that I know it's final, I can. I'm just glad it fell like it did, now during the off season and not during the season.

Not only will the game suffer, but the part I liked most (Stats) will too. I started the stats portion 7 years ago when as a player I searched 6 different sites for content that each one had. I wanted to start a site with that data all in one place. Not doing that this year is a tough one for me to swallow. I really enjoyed bringing that content to people who used it. There won't be time to compile the  statistical charts or posts nor my Twitter updates. Fantasy Players can go to places like ifantasyrace.com (Ryan & Jordan do an amazing job breaking down the drivers weekly) and http://racing-reference.info/ (they have cool charts that is a must for any player)  for great expert help. 

 The few moments I get free, I wanna soak up time with my wife and kids before hitting the road again.

Thanks for all of your support, cheer-leading and help last season and during the off season. 

My sincere apologies and God bless.

PS - John H. - I got your address and diecast will ship tomorrow. I apologize for the confusion on my part and the wait. Thanks for your patience.
