Well I guess it doesn't matter if this is in my list or not considering the terrible news. So I just want to thank my good buddy TPB and DD and all the others that donated their time and effort for us all to have a little fun. Also to all those who have played it's been a blast and it really would have been interesting to see how the rest of the season played out.
I've enjoyed each and every race with you guy's and this will be sorely missed by me. Also a big thanks to Pandr who kept the halfway going for us and Oak. If I missed your name I am sorry but be sure I do appreciate your time and effort in keeping this going.
I hope to see some of you on another site cause you are all a great bunch !!! I wish all of you the best and remeber if you can't turn to the left you ain't a nascar driver and if you can turn to the right you might be a Redneck LOL! See ya around all!

PS I also want to thank my buddy TPB for making the artwork for my signature!! That was very cool my friend!

[brotherstores]

Thanks everyone for the kind words on the pool. I have enjoyed doing it over that last couple years. I got busy with other things in life and need to turn it over to TPB, so hats of for the awesome job he has done.

It been real fun enjoying these races for the last couple years with all of you that have come here each week to enter into the NASCAR Pool. My hats off to all of you making it fun for us.

Sorry things have to end this way, but live has its ups and downs. Keep your heads help high, and enjoy this one last race together.

Take care everyone,
DD

Point blank guys what can I say that you already don't know. This sucks. This totally and utterly blows.
I love this site, I love this pool and each and every one of you played a massive role in what made me love all of this so much. I loved coming here each day and getting the pool ready for the following week. I loved scrolling through each day looking at who posted their picks and who did they pick, wonder who had the best strategy. Tried to guess who I thought might win the pool that week. I especially loved cracking open photoshop after calculating odds to make the winning signature banner for the winner. I know we all feel the same way about what is happening here. It just totally blows. But I wanted to just let you guys know that I had a blast in this pool. You are an incredible bunch of individuals and I have enjoyed my time with all of you.

I want to openly invite you to drop by
devicetalk.net and bookmark it. It should be up later in the week for testing. I along with the help of a couple of friends are going to attempt to put together a general discussion forum focusing on Consumer electronic devices & gadgets (cells, tablets etc) but will host general areas like sports, pets, photography etc.

The reason i wanted to mention that to you guys is because we would love to keep this format of pool going for next season and it wouldn't be the same without any of you. So if you are interested jump over and say hi when you can. We would love to have even that section completed so we could finish out this pool but I can't make that promise.

Thank you everyone for supporting Satfix and especially our Nascar Pool. You guys are the best. Enjoy the chase and the rest of the season.

Thanks DD for everything, You set this whole thing up. It is truly the best pool ever.

[brotherstores]

Congrats to everyone that particiapted in the NASCAR Pool this year, and to all the winners.

Yes this is a hard thing to let go of, but keeps those heads high and find better things around the corner.

Hats of to you TPB for keeping this thing going strong. You had a lot of creativity you put into things here, that put this pool over the top. Plus looking at the final numbers for the season (this far), I see your leading me.....I think you are cheating...lol.

Take care folks, and see ya all down the road.
DD

[sideswiper]
