That helped a LOT guys! Thanks!
Unfortunately I didn't have a nice experience racing Bristol. I was
at the back of the pack at lap 42 of 50, and having pitted earlier, I
decided to stay out as the rest of the cars headed to pit road. I
must have run at least 6 laps and thought I was the cat's meow when it
dawned on me that the number of laps I had run never changed! So I
decided to pit and the NASCAR official got out of my way and my Crew
Chief told me to get going.
Well, I couldn't get going. I was stuck in the pits!
Maybe the race was red-flagged? Got me, never heard it.
Don't know what I did wrong, but I think I am going to can this so
called "sim" and find something else to use my new MOMO wheel for! No,
not open wheeled sims for God's sake! :-)
Looks like Computer *** World was bought out by PC-Lamer!! They
gave it a great review in their very short review. Pathetic IMHO.
