"Final" Calendar for Pickems

[BoilerIMS]

Hi folks,

I need to "finalize" the schedule (so far it can be finalized) for the pickems system. Once this calendar is chosen, that's it, we're stuck with it.

Here's what I have so far:

1","Homestead - Miami Speedway""2008-03-29","","");
2","Streets of St Petersburg""2008-04-06","","");
3","Twin Ring Motegi""2008-04-19","","");
4","Streets of Long Beach""2008-04-20","","");
5","Kansas Speedway""2008-04-27","","");
6","Indianapolis Motor Speedway""2008-05-25","","");
7","The Milwaukee Mile""2008-06-01","","");
8","Texas Motor Speedway""2008-06-07","","");
9","Iowa Speedway""2008-06-22","","");
10","Richmond International Racway""2008-06-28","","");
11","Watkins Glen International""2008-07-06","","");
12","Nashville Superspeedway""2008-07-12","","");
13","Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course""2008-07-20","","");
14","Edmonton""2008-07-27","","");
15","Kentucky Speedway""2008-08-09","","");
16","Infineon Raceway""2008-08-24","","");
17","The Raceway at Belle Isle Park""2008-08-31","","");
18","Chicagoland Speedway""2008-09-07","","");
19","Surfers Paradise (exhibition)""2008-10-26","","");

(pardon the extra code, I stole it from the pickems generator). I had to guess on both Edmonton and Surfers Paradise since those dates are not set in stone.

Question 1: Should we keep Surfers on the calendar even though it will not count toward the championship? I say yes.

Question 2: If the dates for Edmonton and Surfers cannot be verified, can we all accept the races as happening on the dates shown? That would result in a situation where the race occurs on a different date, but the pickems entries will be due according to the dates listed.

Sounds good to me, Boiler. I'd keep Australia off becasue if it's not a points race, some may not show up or sandbag during the race.

Keep Australia on! They'll all show and they'll all race their arses off!

14","Edmonton""2008-07-27","","");

rumours are that Edmonton will move to the Saturday (26th July) as Tony and his gang want to be back in Indy on the Sunday for the Brickyard 400.

Okay, I'm switching Edmonton to 7-26 and then it's set. Drivers list will be updated as needed.
