Boy, what a crazy year. I can't remember being so busy. Working overtime, moving and the end of the Nascar season are keeping me on my toes. By the grace of God we have been able to keep on top of things. I am proud to announce the preperations for the Fantasy Banquet are coming along nicely. There will be some changes this year in the format. I would like to take a minute here and share them with you.
In the past it seems to me that the 'show' runs too long. I have taken some steps to decrease the amount of time I need to stand up on stage and wax poetic. Instead of giving away 100 Nascar trinkets we will instead be auctioning off a small number of high-value Nascar collectibles. JNFL members will be given raffle tickets to put into lotteries for each prize. Should you find one item especially nice they can put all their tickets into one prize chance or spread them among all the prizes. While I wont tell you what the prizes are now I will say that we got a great deal once again from our friends ath R&A Collectibles at the Quakertown Farmer's Market (Q-Mart).
Due to a massive shortage of free time I am going to do my best here in the next couple of days to put together a presentation of some sort for your viewing pleasure, just not sure what it will look like yet. The trophy is finsihed, I still have to pick it up. First Mother Martha has once again put together a DVD of unique video clips from the past Nascar season.

The JNFL final standings are done and I am ready to post them. Please understand that I will have to keep them unofficial for a little while here while I double and triple check the points. That being said I am fairly certain all the people currently sitting in the winning positions all are legal.
Also, remember way back in the beginning of the season when Carl Edwards failed post-race inspection for having an oil cover off. Nascar took away 100 points and said his win would not count for bonus points if he made the playoffs. Well, we did the same thing here in the JNFL. In order for me to make the scoring correct, instead of putting a one (1) into the database indicating a win, I entered a two (2) so that another win would not be added to the JNFL Members total for the season. Then when the playoffs started everyone was awarded the correct amount of bonus points - 10 points for each win. Now that the season is over, I need to go back and adjust that finish for Edwards to a win. While that 'win' did not earn him bonus points for the Chase it is still a win that would help break a tie in the standings. Currently I see only one person (Inez) who is currently tied and picked Edwards on that fatefull day in Las Vegas. Alas, even with the extra win added to her total, she loses the next tie-breaker of points in the final race. Sure is a whole lot of chatter about nothing but I thought you might find that interesting.
JNFL Final Standings:
Adult Champion - Bill Davenport
Lucky Dog winner - Barry 'The Hatchet' Davenport
Kid's League Champion - Tia Davenport
Rookie Of the Year - Dale Bauman
Fantasy Medallion - Sean Cook
Last Place - Wendy
Poker Champion - Frog

It is time once again to announce the plans for the 2008 JNFL Fantasy Banquet. Basically nothing has changed from the last few years except for one great addition - you can buy your tickets AT THE DOOR! Yes, that is right, you will not have to buy your ticket to the JNFL Fantasy Banquet in advance. I would however like for you to atleast let me know if you are planning on attending and if you are bringing a guest. That way we will know how much food to prepare.
The date of the banquet is December 6th. The place to go is the North Penn Elks Club and you will be allowed in at 6:00pm. The price to attend will be the same as last year - $28 for adults (over 21 years old) and just a measley $5 for kids. This price of admission pays for food, open bar (beer, wine and soda), bartender and use of the facility.
Trust me when I tell you we have a great situation here with Steve at the Elks. He trusts me/us so much he said we can do whatever we want. Basically we have complete run of the place. While his staff will be preparing the food we will once again put on a show, hand out yearly awards and give out door prizes. While I am not sure how great the show will be with us moving and all I do know for sure it would not be as much fun without you.
If you are planning on coming, please let me know in a quick e-mail so I can generate a head count. Nothing is binding and you can certainly change your mind. Please remember that we have the right to refuse entry to anyone - this is a private event intended for JNFL members and their families.
Thanks!
