To all my friends and participants of the picks contests:
I am sad to say, after much thought and debate, I will no longer be running any of the picks contests, and all have been disabled. I know I have enjoyed running the contests, and have made some incredible friends over the 18 years since I created them in 1990.
I never set out to make anything with the contest, except something to occupy my time. But I've been re-evaluating my time, and, with my sons diagnosis of Leukemia in December 2007, my life. The hours upon hours that I put into the contest can be better spent with my family and friends, and volunteering. I will still maintain my friends, the historical statistics, and other portions of the site.
I am still a NASCAR, Champ Car and Indy Car fan, and hope to attend many events in the future as well as watch them on TV.
