I'm trying to edit my calendar file. And would like to know what the
numbers represent. I know of course that the first number is the order
of the race, but what about the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th set of numbers.
I have added a BGN track to my WC calendar and I find it in the

length it only shows and will only let me run 3 laps.

I know someone out there knows what I'm talking about

Zo:

The first number is the order of the race, you are correct. The second
number is the month, the third number is the day of the month. The 4th
number designates the event at a particular track ( like Talladega, or
Atlanta, etc, tracks where they have more than one race a season), a zero
(0) indicates the first race of the season, a one (1) is the second race
of the season. The 5th number designates a day or night race (0 = day, 1 =
night).

Then you have the track name, the race name, and then the number of laps
it takes for a 100% event. (DAYTONA Daytona_500 Daytona_500 200 event1.pcx
biglogo.pcx)

Next you have the event pcx, and then the big logo pcx. Both pcx files
must be in the respective track folders.

The track name must be the same as the track folder in the tracks
directory, and the event must be written with _ between the name and the
miles of the event (i.e. Daytona_500 Daytona_500).

There is a complete 98 WC calendar that works at Summers Brothers Racing
if you need to take a look.

Good luck, hope that helps.
