New game!

[paul]

This one is called "Find It". It's kind of a scavenger hunt using the internet. Basically, the first person asks a question, the next person finds a website with the answer to that question and posts the answer and the link where you can find the answer. Then they ask another question.

Ready?

First Question:

Who won the 1918 World Series?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Critter, I'm sorry the boys skipped right over your question.

And, you did answer the "bug" question with your link.

http://www.nascar.com/2001/KNOW/05/25/poin...lain/index.html

this was as close as I could come. By figuring it out
17th is worth 112 points. Add 5 for leading a lap, and 5 for leading the most laps gives you 122.
AHA: found a better source for Critter's question---
http://www.thatsracin.com/jayski/stats/200...drivers2001.htm

I don't have the slightest idea what question to ask.



I'm working on the question.
