I just checked out the game and website and it's pretty cool. You pick three drivers for each race from groups. The A group is probably going to be Mr. Schatz but the B & C groups are wide open. These groups will be loaded when they race in PA, Ohio, Knoxville and the West Coast. It's only $20 for the year which isn't too bad. Anyone else going to play???

* The Golden State Challenge game is free!

I'm going to play the GSC and WoO games for sure! The rules look simple and I like the fact that you pick three drivers for each event in each series. Hope some of you join. It should be a great time this year.

This was a post from Bob-6s

I looked at that league (openwheelfantasy) it dosent seem orgainzed, to me has some big question marks, not to mention if I want to play the outlaw league I have to give someone $20, to give my money out to a winner that I can't see, hmmmmmmm sounds illegal to me.

**Bob, you are way off. First off, the GSC fantasy is free to the public. The WoO is $20 for the season. I sent an email to the person running it and he said 100% of the money is to be paid out. He is also giving away additional prizes such as t-shirts, race tickets ..... (donations in return for free advertising). This is no different than Nascar or NFL fantasy leagues which cost in the $50 to $100 range. Not sure why you think it's illegal????? Also, the site & game seem very organized! I signed up to play both. The bottom line is the guy running it as a huge sprint car fan and is actually losing money on this deal with all the time & effort he put forth with the game & site.
