I am posting COTA here in a few hours/edit the thread in here in a bit. https://www.disboards.com/threads/nascar-picks-echopark-automotive-grand-prix-cota.3942372/

I know that some of y'all might have some vacation/holiday plans so let me know what you want ahead of time if possible. I keep an eye on several threads and I have been trying to post links to this season races and the default page

Have a great week! Please double check numbers if you feel the need.
