OK, I just have to share this.  Was racing N4 at Daytona (if memory serves)
and got caught in this massive wreck (not my fault!) and pile up where 3
cars flipped about 200 feet up into the air!  So then I'm sitting in pit
lane after the wreck and notice something in my rear view mirror that looks
like a big airplane slowing flying over the track, as it passes over me I
can begin to see it out the front windshield and low and behold, it's one of
the cars hovering (spinning) at about 600-800 feet up in the air!!

After watching the replay, a couple of other cars kind of got pushed down
into the pavement and then all of a sudden they began spinning about 600-800
feet in altitude continuously around the track!   If anybody wants me to
email them the replay, let me know and I will.  Quite entertaining!

This won't beat yours, Tim, but it's pretty much the same kind of thing:  I have
a 4-second replay of Terry Labonte's car, spinning about a foot off the ground,
vertical and tail first, with sparks coming out the bottom.  Looks like a UFO,
landing in the pit exit of Las Vegas!  Very strange....

You should see my "Pit Flip" replay where one strong jackman flips my car
about 100 feet (scale) into the air and I end up over the pit wall in the
garage area. This happened during a online Daytona race, granted it was
pre-patch.

At least I got to tour the garage area and get into Victory lane, LOL.

Seems that using the "GPL Engine" for Nascar 4 has brought us the same "Not
Coded for Internet" bugs.

Would like to see any of these type of replays for laughs. Post them up
somewhere.

     Hmm, that's odd because the only car I have seen do that is...
Terry Labonte!  Tho his car was spinning in a vertical nose-down
position, slowly wandering around the track and causing more
wrecks...
