..our newest member, Matt Chamois. You might recognize his name from comments on several blogs and forums but his blog is brand spanking new and quite entertaining indeed. His blog titled "The Other Side" is ,from what I can tell, going to be quite entertaining. I have been asked by Chamoo to refer you to his first "Introductory" post. So here's the URL to the blog and that post.

As usual I ask all UOWWB members add "The other side" to their respective sidebars.

Is the prominence of foreign drivers in the league hurting the IRL?

Before asking this week's question, I want to stress that this is a purely hypothetical situation.

If Ryan Hunter-Reay or Justin Wilson were offered a full-time seat at the newly rumored Pacific Coast Motorsports/Rubicon racing team, should they take the ride or hold out and hope for a ride with Rahal, N/H/L, or Penske?

Fantasy Indycar League

2009-01-09T17:22:00.000-08:00

Hey everybody I have been thinking about something lately, there are not many Fantasy Indycar Leagues. That is appalling to me as Indycar fans are some of the most opinionated in all of sports. So I decided that I will try to form one. It will probably be "governed" by UOWWB so to not add bias to myself. But to form this league I need help; you. I am hoping to have at least 5 teams to start the season. The rules are simple, each week you send me your picks from the A, B, and C driver categories. These categories will be determined by last seasons points. The trick is you will only be allowed to use each driver 4 (or maybe 5) times per season. What I hope to accomplish in this is a simple, straightforward, east to use Indycar Fantasy league. If you are interested I plead that you will E-Mail me at PlanetIrl@yahoo.com or add a comment. Thanks

After a several great responses last week we have decided that the Weekly Question will be held on Thursdays every week. This weeks question comes from Lee J. from Pitoutblog.

Pitout blog : Review

2008-12-08T17:54:00.000-08:00

Here at UOWWBA one of our goals is to introduce you to the up-and-coming talents in the blogging world. I do this because as most of my co-bloggers could tell you it is not an easy task to get noticed at first in this huge blogosphere. So my first review is over a great new blog called Pitoutblog. In the authors own words Pitout is

"Pit Out is analysis, commentary and news from the cheap seats. Usually skeptical, often curmudgeonly, occasionally abrasive, but always with the sports' best interest at heart. It's a forum for my critique of the days news, and to let loose the observations and criticism that rattle around my brain. It's also a place for retrospectives of racing seasons past, and to highlight endangered or nearly forgotten parts of motorsport history."

The blog covers most forms of Open-Wheel plus things like WRC and Speedcar. All in all its a well written and designed blog that puts the highlight on the positive side of things such as new talents instead of the gloom-and-doom of most blogs. The URL of the site is
