Default Thorograph Annual Holiday Gift

I recommend ANYONE that wants to learn about what are considered high-end speed figures to go to thorograph.com and take advantage of their yearly holiday gift of free sheets for all tracks from 12/26 to 12/31. It gives people an opportunity to put them into your handicapping the day of, instead of the day after in the redboard room.

Does it come in the form of a roll with tear-away sheets?

If so, I'll take a four pack.

It took me a while to figure it out as I turned my brain off around 6pm today but it clicked.

I was just trying to give people the option. I know that they have helped me, hoping they could help someone else

I just watched the last Balmoral race. How much snow fell in the "Second City?"
between 4 and 9 inches from what I hear on the news. I am about 2 miles from Arlington and I have about 6 inches in my front yard. Was kinda sneaky and early this year, it sucked shoveling, that is for sure. I went out at 11:30pm last night and there was about 2.5 inches and I thought it was done, but woke up today and there was another 4 inches on the ground, pretty hilarious seeing all these people drive in the snow, it is like the world is about to end

Two miles form Arlington? Nice neighborhood!
There was a dusting about a week ago and there were three accidents on Rand Road between 53 and Dundee. Luckily this snow fell mostly while people were sleeping but people park all nuts or freak out. I learned my lesson in this stuff though when I first got my truck and was blazin 4 wheel drive. Almost took out a tree thinking that I was going to stop as fast as I was starting, not the case

Don't really agree with the tg and rag guys on alot of things. I have handicapped with the tgs before, to see what all the fuss is about. I found that taking class out of handicapping is going against everything I believe.

The best thing about the tgs are the current trainer stats. The ( last 90 days) is a great stat that DRF needs to look at adding.
