Daytona/Talladega - Pit Crash Repair Answer (patch)

When pitting under the yellow and your ahead of the car pitting in the
stall ahead of you, that car would come in and attempt to turn in your
stall to park in his. Thus a crash.
  If your having this trouble, try going into the track text file and
changing two numbers in the PIT line.
 They   are          82806560 and 82806562.
Change  to          83206560 and 83206562
  This will increase the space between stalls and seems to work great.
    Before the change I got crunched EVERY time.
After the change I actually finished 200 laps, pitting and NOT getting
hit by the car pulling in the stall ahead of mine.
    Try it and see if it works for you. Hopfully it will work under
more testing than I have done as well.
    I'm the guy that was lucky enough to find the Atlanta pit bug fix
that has been posted, and backed by Jim Sokoloff as the correct
repair. ( Thanks Jim )
   I'm not saying this fix is the right one but it seems to work and
getting crashed in the pits after running for hours (no save gave) was
too frustrating to deal with. So try it if you like and I hope it
works for you as it did for me.
