If you like short tracks, I'd recommend I-70 Speedway to everyone. The real
one can be found in Odessa, MO ( http://www.racesimcentral.net/). One site you
can pick up the virtual version is:

http://www.racesimcentral.net/

It's a .490 mile track with wide banks and straightaways, which is capable
of having some fun three-wide racing. It's wide enough to have enough room
to manuever, but short enough in length for some very good racing. It's also
great, because you can throw the car into fourth and race all day long. Pit
road is quite interesting, being so small. It'll take some skills to avoid a
wreck while you're in there.

Racing on it offline, the AI will run at least 3 seconds slower than you do.
While this removes any realism of racing, it'll really help your reaction
times in preparation of online racing. Further, the AI enjoy wrecking every
5-10 laps or so. So you may want to turn off yellow flags for offline play.
Also, the field is limited to 22 cars.

Was my favorite track back in the N3 days, and one of the reasons I bought
the track converter.

yellow flags for offline play.

I don't know that sounds about right for an ASA race.  :)

I got my grubby hands on it today and tried it. All together, I think it's a
great track. One thing that irks me, though, is that there seems to be some
sort of bug (or the pit stall "trigger" was set too small....if that's
possible?) for your pit stall. You pull in and it's "You're too far to the
right/left". Even though you have at least 3-4 foot clearance on both sides.
