Drivers:

Have you noticed just what warping can do while either
on HAWAII or on INTERNET.  One of the major problems
with the N racing simulation is there is no error
detection or correction.  Its the old story GARBAGE IN
gets you GARBAGE OUT.

1).     Qualifying Times...  Ever wonder when you really
        crank off that one in a million 190 at Atlanta
        whether it was really you or a good warp.  Well
        warping can have that affect.  Warping can take
        a drivers speed and make it alot lot lot faster.
        I have had several drivers call me and ask me
        how they were able to run that FREAK lap.  I
        have to tell them that when data is being
        transmitted between your computer and the
        race server anything can happen.  Even the
        total loss of integrity.  

2).     RACING... Same things.  If the position data
        is being sent back and forth in GARBAGE MODE
        than you could have actually won, but finish
        last.  

If error detection and data correction is not implemented
in the auto-racing modes.  Than how will we ever know who
really wins or loses..

I was racing a car on INTERNET the other night and I was
running 181's at c***te in N Racing.  I could not
catch this car as he was WARP hopping me 100 to 200
yards per second.  Finally he disappeared and I ask
him how fast he went on that lap.  He said:

        8813 mph, and he just grinned..

PS.   I hope the key to winning is not finguring out just
        how to haness those warps....

This is so true... just last night, I ran a 133 qual time at Bristol
on Kali with Nascar 2.... Obviously a warping episode.  I find racing
on Kali much more relaxed then it ever was on Hawaii because you
"CAN'T TRUST" sometimes what you see in a race on Kali.  This is why,
in my opinion, you hardly ever see someone "squabling" with someone
else.  Also, there's no racing for points.  

Don, unfortunately, someone already has figured
this out! But the powers that be already know how he does
it and it will be fixed!
