I've been following this news group for a while and I haven't noticed
anybody else mentioning this bug.  Has anybody noticed at Talladega that if
a car spins off of the try oval and onto the grass between the pits and the
track they just disapear and get counted lap after lap.  I noticed that they
can spin across the grass but is they stop they remain there for the rest of
the race.

I was black flagged for speeding in the pit lane when I did about 6
360's approaching the dog-leg. Seems unfair as I couldn't avoid the
pit lane cos I was well gone. At Daytona I remember the commentators
saying the the speed limit can be exceeded under those circumstances.

Also, in NASCAR, if a car trashes to the extent that it is difficult
to drive, surely the driver can enter a closed pit lane to get off
the track without being black flagged. In the game you seem to have to
sit at the entrance and wait for the pit open sign, otherwise you
get black flagged after the yellow.

Do you have version 1.2?  I don't and I never had this happen to me.  I've
pulled into the pits lots of times when they were closed and replaces a
blown rear tire.

The one bug I don't like is that when a computer opponent spins going
through the try oval.  If they come to a rest on the grass area in front of
the pits they just disapear without a trace.  I'll be racing along and
notice a yellow.  So I escape to check the replays and realize that one of
the cars has disapeared.  However when I go back to racing and check the
standings that driver still exist and is being lapped.  I was just wondering
if anybody else noticed this.
