How about making incident only count when its big enough for repair. i
just found out they take 1 point away from you when bump draft at dega.
everytime you hit the guy in front of you you loose a point. I think
this should be changed..
Any thoughts about giving bonus points for doing well at the short tracks like Bristol when assigning skill ratings? At 'Dega if you can
make it through the inevitable major crash at the start which wipes out half of the field it is pretty easy to finish high. At Bristol or
other short tracks the racing is much tighter and it takes more skill to finish high. I think drivers should be rewarded for racing at the
tougher tracks and finishing well.

No, it means just because you are the supposed best at Tally, doesn't
mean you ARE one of the big boys.

Jack of all trades, master of none.
Why not have a skill rating for each driver at each track? That would solve everything.

Just like real life Nascar: If you can only run decently at one track, you
don't stand much of a chance to win the championship.
After all, those of us who've actually practiced using the brakes and shifter
should get *something* for our efforts, eh? :-)

Ed,
Do you know what tracks are in what group?
I assume Superspeedways, short tracks, mile tracks , and road coursed,
what's the other group or groups if I messed up?

Oh, I see. Yeah, that could be a bummer. Hopefully, if you run a league,
you will get in the leage that fits your skill level, and they won't drop you
from a track based on skill. It'll all come out in the wash this fall.

Hey
Can someone tell me exactly how it is that you guys continually let
the Maddox guy on the sim when all he ever does is crash people too
improve his position..
I can understand a once in awhile thing but everytime I am on the
track with him he takes a ton of cars out and always seems to drive
away unscathed.....I have been his victim on atleast 5 occasions. If
he does happen to wreck he spends the rest of the time racing in the
fast line and bumping people as they lap him... Pleas do something
thank you....Skycow
