Have him run the replay through Fastlap, and send it to Don
Wilshe to make it official.

Current Long Beach record:
1  0013   Darrel Cherry        San Jose, CA         IICC     0:50.970

Cheers!

If you are wondering why I am so e***d, it's because:

This record was a 50 second lap!!!

However, it ain't my lap, it's SAVATS's lap.  This is A WORLD RECORD...
if you'd like to see the record email SAVATS at:

Or if you can, use this convenient little link:

I showed Don the hole in his fastlap quite a while ago.  I can get his
software to verify a 30 second lap at Long Beach if I wanted.

Also Fastlap doesn't even look at replays..

Anyways..  Something I've been working on reciently...

Hawaii for ICR2.

I've decoded most of the packets used to communicate.

A multiline BBS system could make 30 callers all think they are racing
against 29 AI cars, while in fact the 29 AI are simply the other
drivers.

A host program just needs to communicate properly to get each person
into the race, then decide which cars to send each driver. (the second
part is technically not difficult)

The biggest problem that can envision at this moment is getting 30 real
drivers to pit in different locations on the track.

I'm wondering if modifing the track.txt file could move the pit stall
while maintaining the pit entrance, exit locations.

The other thing I see going wrong (for my setup) is the rendition
version crashes when I quit the program.  I would need to reset.

I haven't tried via modem, only direct connect so that MAY not be a real
problem.

I've got a 3rd computer set up to "record" packets sent between the host
and client.

I understand a large portion of what is sent across, but not all.

Oh yes, the other thing is deciding when to drop the yellow, and
"driving" the pace car.

I'm testing/recording/documenting as much as possible.

How bout telling SAVATS to send that record to the FASTLAP Challenge? It
needs some good times on it.  URL:

Sorry people,

I meant for the response to Simracing to be e-mail.

Damn computers.  19 years, and I still can't understand them.... :)

Well, I've done a 50.7something lap.  Don't have a replay, but I'm sure I
could maybe, possibly do it again to get one.  I'll try.
