March 'Monte' Madness
*
I love "March Madness", the NCAA basketball tournament. I enjoy watching the games, particularly the close ones, witnessing the comebacks, being stunned by the shockers. I'm not exactly sure what the attraction is (perhaps the part of me that loves timelines?), but I'm addicted to watching the brackets as teams advance & others are eliminated.
So, with "March Madness", the "Monte" edition "BRACKETS"....
ROADS REGION

...and now...
...to "jump start" CRUISING SEASON...
after several lead changes, the NATIONAL CHAMPION by one (1) vote is
*** 8 = 1970-1972 (Monte Division Sectional & Wheels Region Final) ***
Round-by-round results & contest winner below....
Remember the MC trivia contests [Jeopardy! (2006 & 2010), Wheel of Fortune & others] I've done with different prizes? I thought this would be a fun & easy way to raise money for favorite forums/boards/groups/charities. Results (& money raised) would've been different if more of you had voted!
If your favorite model years did not make it very far this time, you MAY have another chance with a different NHL/NFL/MLB-style playoff.... That in mind, POSSIBLE seeds for NEXT time...:
#1 = 1970-1972 (8)
#2 = 1981-1988 (3)
#3 = 1973-1975 (2)
#4 = 1976-1977 (4)

#6 = 2000-2005 (7)
#7 = 1978-1980 (6)

{{{ CONTEST WINNER }}}
1 person picked 8 (1970-1972) to be the overall champion ... dimitri (Rob B) ... CONGRATULATIONS!
He wants the $50 to be donated in his honor to the National MC Owners Association. I'll send the check this week.
