NRO Idea

by ccorpor » Tue, 18 Feb 1997 04:00:00

I have no idea if anything is in the works like this but I feel this would be
a nice way to award winners in NRO.

Free credit hours to winners of a NRO race, if they have more than 15 drivers
or so.

The top 5 would get either or both free TEN and NRO hours.

Winner gets 5 hours credit.
2nd 3 hours
3rd 2 hours
4th 1 hour
5th 1/2 hour.

At least there would be something else to race for in it. Unless they're
thinking cash, I always like cash!!!

I don't know it would entice me more with some type of kick back. The top dogs
would probably end up racing for free most of the time until some newcomer
pays their due's to knock them down and catapult them into free racing.

Yeah, but you better also do this

3 incidents in a single race =  1 day suspension
4 incidents in a single race =  5 day suspension
5 incidents in a single race = 30 day suspension
6 incidents in a single race = permanent expulsion

Considering that they are supposed to have the incident reporting system
in place for NRO that prevents anyone from receiving more than 1
incident per % of track, I think the suspensions are more important than
the purse credit.  But credit would be nice. Let's just hope they also
boot the hackers off the system on the first offense.  The only thing
worse than someone who crashes others to win, is someone who cheats to
win.  They aren't even good enough to be called the scum on the bottom
of your racing boot.

I tend to agree with you on the incidents Dave, the only problem is that
you can be hit by someone and recieve and incident. If the system could
distinguish between the causing and just being in the wrong place at the
wrong time it would be much better.

I think it is possible to do just that.  Initial contact is something
that can easily be assessed.  Noone who gets caught up in an accident
should be assessed an incident point, only those involved in the initial
contact.  Since there is no fair way to assess blame, you must give an
incident to both drivers.  Penalties would only be assessed after the
3rd incident which means that everyone can race hard and rub fenders,
but once you've been in 2 accidents, you should start driving more
defensively.  Besides normally, after two accidents you aren't in a
position to race for the win.  There are certain drivers that will
always play chicken knowing that the other driver will always back
down.  It even happens in real life.  Of course, written complaints
submitted to Papyrus and NASCAR along with a replay could get those
drivers off the track.  It will always be wise to drive only against
those you have respect for and those who have respect for you.

Something else to consider on this subject;  Many times I have seen
drivers cause incidents after the initial contact because they feel
that they have a better chance of getting through the carnage by
keeping the pedal floored.  Unfortunately, this more often than not
ends up taking out drivers that have slowed down and actually made
it past a wreck only to be taken out by someone coming through at
full speed.  Nothing is worse than clearing an accident only to be
clocked from behind by someone doing full speed.  (by someone
that has also made it through, but now has no control to avoid hitting
the cars in front of him/her that are trying to regain speed.)  These
people also need to be slapped with incidents.
