Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Sixteen
Can I ask if Nascar Cup Series races go way back to the beginning of Nascar (does it just mean winners of top-level races?), or is that something else that was introduced much later.?

Cup Series is NASCAR's top level back to 1948. The Busch Series was formed in the 80s and the Truck Series in the 90s. So yes, it goes back to 1948 but does not count Busch or Truck wins. What a time to be alive.

Special annoucement - the 2020 Swampcrash Playoffs will be held at Canobie Lake Park. There are no hotels on property, but teams with a bye are welcome to stay on Castaway Island or, like, under the carousel or something. You'll have to hide though - they really don't want us there.

Re: SWAMPCRASH 2020 - Week Sixteen
New England has the shittiest fun parks of any region. And it's not the cold either because Chicagoland has a six flags. I seem to remember going to Riverside. Maybe nantasket beach some. They all sucked in retrospect I just didn't know any better.
