Preface/Background
As my first 'official' post on this place [read: Dynasty thread], I would be remiss not to start this thread on a simulation of a game that I dearly enjoy.
As I hope some of you may remember, I started this idea back on May 9, 2007. The purpose was to build enough data to help work on a database and website. I have finished computer programming December 2012 (Associates) and now will go to DeVry (going here due to work purposes prevent me from going the traditional way) to get a bachelors in CIS (Database Mgmt). I have gotten about three seasons finished where I started in 1983 before real life got in the way and had to slow things down to a trickle. I think the end point I want to put on the legacy will be the 2013 season. That would be 30 years of racing and would make for a "career" of sorts. Of course, I will have to bring over all my old posts which will take some time, but it will be worth to finally finish it which should take some time.
I plan to follow a historical arch of sorts and have some twists in it as well. i.e. Alan and Davey finish out the 1993 seasons and "retire", while Neil runs some in the early 90s and "retires" drinking Country Time Lemonade, while Dale "retires" in 2002. As I hate these drivers all died way too soon, I felt taking creative liberties here would be good for my soul.
As many can remember, I had a NCAA 06 death-penalty Tennessee dynasty I started back in Summer 2005 while taking care of my great aunt who passed Sept 4, 2007. I started in the 2020 season after killing them off with quite a few zero-win seasons. I stop posting the results with the 2031 season on the website. However, I kept with playing the games in the legacy and finally finished late in 2012. So, it takes me a good while to get started and finished on something. With it being a hobby, I do find immense enjoyment out of it. The only thing I lack from starting back up on this is the racing wheel stand to put my wheel on. Once I get the one I've been looking at, I'll get back to posting race results and what not. Look for this to happen sometime in 2013. Not going to give a definitive date as I know better, but be optimistic knowing I will be back.
While most of the links I had posted that painted the cars for all theses series are pretty much dead/disappeared, I will still thank them for the cars, mods, tracks and utilities I have gotten over the years to make the game more enjoyable and in a way realistic. They are the following: sg3racing.com, rs-web-design, masgrafx.com, nnracing.com, simracingdesign.com, and riouxmods.com.
In the next few posts I am going to reserve space for each season so I can get it right this time. Then, I will re-post my races with some minor grammatical edits in them. Time/experience are always a blessing when you get more of it and use it properly/wisely.
My goal is to this time; get the dynasty right. I hope you'll find some enjoyment out of my enjoyment of this simulation and the results I obtain from it. I am grateful to all the people that have read my legacy over the years, it got more reviews than I ever thought it would. For that, I give many thanks.

I'll have to go and re-watch the races and do reviews of them again. That's what I get for not backing up the reports where I could find them easily. I do have the cars, tracks, mods, results, and most of the replays saved. I think I finally figured out a way to race again with my wheel I have so I hope I'll at least get this thing back to being updated on some sort of basis because this was a very relaxing game.
