Mike Hunt is really busy these days :laugh: Hope Mike doesn't get too wet, or too excited over the rainy season. Hope the media give Mike a thorough debriefing and pump Mike for answers. I think Mike will take some stick in the next few weeks, and hope that Mike will cum through with flying colours ;)

Yep, keep the teams coming! Feb 20th is the deadline to be in for the first round.
Nothing from last year's second placers Blurnsballers yet, or third placed FattyR yet amongst others. Or me. Or the team on the opposite side of the 'wall' in the garage (my mum's team, Fest Racing)...

Hello all, and welcome to this wonderful year of bike racing. The Doctor is back, Zoidberg that is. And his blurnsballers are looking to do one better in his 2nd year. And with a full year this time round lets hope so. team is-

- Stefano Bianco .5
WSB - Roby Rolfo 1.5

Edit. I did my team and had it set and final and then double cheacked and realised i had a million left over. So good by Jorge and hello Stoner!
I gotta say, I'm loving the variety in the teams this year. Makes things far more interesting and hopefully the racing is as diverse so we don't end up with everyone making alterations that make the teams all similar. Good work guys. :up:
Yeah, I'm liking the variation too!
I have four teams to post shortly - mine, my mum's (genuinely, it's rather like the Fiat Yamaha garage in our house with a wall down the middle), plus a couple from some (ahem) special guests whose agent has declined to reveal their real names!
Two days to go for anyone still not involved - as long as they're posted here before the Superbikes roll of out the Losail pits for first practice on Thursday your team'll be in for Round 1.
sorry about the delay, better late than never. here is the team:

Reynholm Industries Basement Racing Team Press Release:
Reynholm Industries Basement Racing Team team manager Maurice Moss would firstly like to appologise for the delay in the unveiling of his team due to the fact that he only found out that the competition was starting up again yesterday! After dominating the world in everything, Reynholm Industries thought their success would not be complete until they dominated Motorbikes as well. Company owner, and greatest man in the world, Denholm Reynholm thought Maurice Moss was the best man to head up the team as he sits in front of a computer all day which gives him good access to breaking news and latest results. All riders have agreed to work as a team, because if they dont work as a team, they will be fired! Reynholm Industries Basement Racing Team promises there is no length they wont go to to be the greatest racing team IN THE WORLD!

New team looks thus:
Team NoBlouse expects the new line-up to be even stronger than the original, and wishes Luthi the very best of luck in his future endeavours.Quote:

Interestingly, of 22 teams so far, Stoner only appears in 2... perhaps in 2007 some people were burnt by the big dollar guys who went nowhere? But if you were going to spend up, Stoner would be your man.
Stop the presses... Team NoBlouse wishes to announce a revised rider line-up, now that we have all sobered up... most of us, anyway.
Nothing like having a good look at your competition to give you a kick in the pants. Now stand back ;)

But yeah, extras are welcome!
Hehehe... deja vu all over again :)
Belay that, back to my original (modified) order. As you were...
Before I forget - a bit of an advanced apology and warning that the scores won't be up immediately after the event.
Because as well as it being Round 1 of WSB/WSS, it's also Round 1 of a karting championship I'm doing this year on Sunday. (results/report/pics to follow!)
So I'll be at the opposite end of the country to my spreadsheet, and indeed won't see the races until late Monday UK time (i.e Tuesday morning Aussie time) and so the points won't be up until after that.
I know I had a bit of network trouble last year which played havoc with the scores for a while, but I won't be forgetting about you! :)
Is that sort of like "insider" trading!! :) :) :DQuote:

I hope we can entice some of these new team owners to begin posting throughout the season :D
Yep, the above teams are all OK and in. A good spread of riders been picked there.
Entries for Round 1 of WSB/WSS are now closed, as the season's underway!
Anyone who's not picked yet can get a team in for the next round and still play if they want - our second-place team last year was in fact a late starter.
And yes, the new team owners should come and play on the forum (although one of them can't, he's racing in Qatar at present :) ) - the more the merrier!
I didn't see ChrisS posting any team, or it sent by PM?
See you all in the first round of Qatar, I have opportunity for the coverage.
