It is our last chance for some North American racing action, so lets do NASCAR! You'll pick five different drivers. They'll run the race and then finish (hopefully no rainout--forecast looks clear) The worst two finishes will be discarded, and your points will be determined by adding up your top three finshers. So with this hypothetical entry with a hypothetical result:
Driver A: Keselowski finishes 11th
Driver B: Kyle Busch finishes 5th
Driver C: Jimmie Johnson finishes 30th
Driver D: Bowyer finishes 19th
Driver E: Hamlin finishes 22nd
We would discard the results for Johnson and Hamlin, and add up the other results for a total score of 35. The
low score for this challenge wins immunity. If you designate a driver that does not start the race, we will treat them as finishing in 50th place. You will get a few bonuses too -- each of your drivers that leads a lap will give you a -2 boost. If your driver leads the most laps, you'll get an extra -3 boost.
One other little wrinkle is that your score will be
increased by one penalty point for each other CFMB Survivor submission that also includes your drivers. So in the above example, if there were five other people submitting Kyle Busch, and three others submitting Keselowski, while you were the only one submitting Johnson, Bowyer, and Hamlin, then that would be an additional 8 points
added to your score.
Now for the bonuses... donspiracy won the last challenge, so with your submission, please choose one of these advantages:
Extra Man: Pick a sixth driver. That driver will not be subject to the increase total if other Survivor contestants submit him. He will count towards their penalties, however. For example, if you pick Dillon, and three other players have Dillon, they will have their scores increased by an additional point, but your score will remain unchanged. If you go this route, you will have your worst three drivers finishes discarded, and the best three will count.
Pick A Winner: Along with your submission, nominate seven drivers. You can name drivers that you've already named to your team. If one of these seven drivers wins Daytona, your score will be decreased by an additional seven points. These drivers do not add towards anyone's duplicate driver penalties.
Head to Head: Challenge another CFMB Survivor player to a head to head challenge. Both of you will pick a different driver. The loser will get a two and half point deduction while the winner will get a four and a half point deduction. To use this advantage, just post to the thread who you are challenging, and who your driver pick is. That player will then post in the thread their driver (if he doesn't, I will pick for him.) If either of the drivers fails to start, each Survivor player will have their score increased by ten points. Whoever has the better finish position is the winner.
TB1: Number of cautions
TB2: Finish position of Almirola
Extra Bonus For All: A mini-contest... we should do horse racing too if we are going to do auto racing. Submit your pick for winner of the Red Smith Stakes (https://www.equibase.com/static/entry/A ... 8-EQB.html) by noon on Saturday. If you pick the winner, I'll give you a bonus 2 points off your score... pick the 2nd or 3rd place horse and I will give you one bonus point off. You can send this mini-contest as a separate email if you want.Racing entries are due by
