I assure you, you _don't_ want anything from me regarding road courses :)

I'm still a L0 there.  I don't race enough to even move the skill level.

LOL, me too. I'm actually only interested to get a high level at SS right
now. The drafting is where I get my kicks from.
Anyway, I still want to do a low 1.17 or a high 1.16 in order to achieve a
decent N2002 rank ;-)
My idea was that I should do good enough times on the tracks I've driven, so
that when I have driven all tracks my first rank would be negative.
It seems much easier to get a negative rank in N2002 than GPL (where I'm 170
lol).

I used to like the SS's too, but I've grown weary of them since the new aero
rules came out.  Just doesn't have the thrill it used to.  Except for the
Coca-Cola Track.  That's pretty cool :)  I'm an 8 on SS's.  Oddly, the
Coca-Cola track score as a SW track.

I've come to prefer the SW ovals.  Dover, NC, Chicago, etc...  I don't care
much for the Cookie-Cutter tracks, but nowdays I find them more fun than the
SS tracks since they have become so slow.

I'm all new to Nascar, so I actually know nothing of any aero rules ;-)
I just think that going full speed 2 rows, 4 to 6 cars, lap after lap is
such a rush it's hard to describe.
One cannot really compare it to some other kind of racing since it's simply
not possible to run so close in another type of race.

I ran a race in a (what felt like) completely flat oval. It probably wasn't,
but it was very hard to the tires, and was a lot of fun.
Probably I have much left to discover in Nascar. I'm looking forward to it
:-)
