RASCAR: 'BGN'

As soon as the patch and PWF 'BGN' mod is released - I plan on setting up a
RASCAR 'Busch Grand National'
series. The races will be held on weeknights - making this a european series
only. Applications welcomed.

I want more green flag racing so I reserve the right to turn entries down.
I'm too tired of racing being a pace car each saturday night.

Should be fun, wish I could join.  If someone else plans on setting up a
RASCAR BGN or CTS server in the states please put my name down.

    Calm down Ed.
    There were lots of yellows, chattering during yellows, chattering during
green, pile driving, some warping, and you even wrecked out by yourself. I
knew  that there were going to be a lot of wrecks at this
slick-at-the-beginning-of -the-run track, so I just ran at the rear the
whole race and tried not to hit your guys when you wrecked.
    The moderate damage allowed lots of people to stay out and be
competitive including myself after hitting JSimmons, BFarmer, and a couple
of others. Had there been regular damage, the newbies and a couple of
veterens would have been eliminated, and then you would have seen some long
green flag runs with some pitting.
    You are a great resource and provide lots of good suggestions in this
league, but I'm going to have to serve some cheese with that wine.

I would like to say that I enjoyed my first race with you guys. I was doing
ok there for a while, just*** back and trying to stay out of trouble.
Got caught up in a couple of incidents, but was still doing ok, then I spun
all by myself out of turn 2 and caused a mess, sorry about that, guess I was
too e***d about being in the top 5 at the time.

Looking foreward to the next race. Thanks.

Even with moderate damage myself and 39(jsterner) got hosed by the damage
and the tendency for the cars to flip to easily. Early in the race 50 drove
straight down onto the apron in T3 and then spun up into 39 who then bounced
up into me sending us both into the wall and me upside down. No direct
contact with the nose of my car, but it was pouring out the black smoke when
I came to a rest against the wall. My day and jsterner's day was done. Of
course 50 received no damage and continued on. Frustrating, but just one of
them racing deals. Better luck next week.

I work night shifts, so this would actually be a good time for me as
I'm typically awake then.  I think you know I race clean, if you
remember that far back, and I'd certainly be up for it if it works
with my schedule.

Not that I can not be a moron at times, but if you look at the replay, the
car broke loose before I hit the apron.
When the back started the slide, I tried to continue toward the apron to
stay out of the way and not cause "the big one".

My bad regardless, because I did start that little ruckus, but not because
of  inferior driving.
I ran in the top five for practice and warm-up with no problems.
I can not explain why my car came around twice during the race, for no
apparent reason.
And I doubt anyone feels more like an ass than I do for causing a wreck.
I would rather crash myself and end my race than hit someone else.
Especially with being a new driver to RASCAR.

I do apologize for your misfortune, and promise to do my best of my ability
in the following races.

As I posted earlier, I have not idea as to why, other than trying to take it
a little too easy, I guess.
During practice and warmups, I drove the same line alone and with other cars
with no problems.
Later in the race I went a lap down and raced around the leaders for my lap
back.
With new tires on a restart, racing hard and no problems.

After screwing the pooch on the lap one wall shot, I really took it easy
after that and still spun for no apparent reason later.

After the deal with Kyle, I quit taking it easy on the starts and ceased to
have any problems.
I would say that with the fast setup, you can take it a little too easy on
cold tires.

I do apologize for anyone damaged in either of my spins.
As I stated earlier, it does chap my ass to***someone else out of a good
race.
