I just looked at the Entry List and did not see Buddy Lazier on it....

If he is not racing, please change your selections with Lazier, Jock25....

Just post them and the mods can edit your selections...

I'm going to e-mail you and/or PM you as well

[Tim Northcutt]

So much for the PM or E-Mail...

Do the mods know how to reach him???

I'd hate to have him waste picks on someone who is not in the event
