rec.autos.simulators

I have been racing with NASCAR Racing for some time now.  And though, I don't
find enough time to get great setups completely tweaked, I do enjoy this game
more than any other game I have played. I have also noticd there is a 'Lap
Records' List for Indycar Racing, alas, none for NASCAR Racing.

Therefore. Starting now. I am maintaining a NASCAR Racing lap records list
to be posted as deeming possible. Just depends on how much traffic I get.

This list WILL NOT be automated [yet]. So I will be going thru these by
hand. So please keep the format to more or less as I specify.

Email your records to   c...@ra.msstate.edu   [Charles Evans is me :)]

Make the Subject line  :     NASCAR RECORD

If you don't make it that, I might not see it. But will do my best to find
all records. Will just make it easier on me if you do as I say :)

IN the body of the text:

Track     speed.spd mph      YY/MM/DD      c s d r m     NAME

Track = whichever track you are submitting a time for
speed.spd = speed in miles/hr followed by 'mph'
YY/MM/DD = date record was set
C = w(heel) | j(oystick) | k(eyboard)   [controls]
S = a(utomatic) | m(anual)              [shifting] ***
D = y(es) | n(o)                        [damage]
R = s(vga) | v(ga)                      [video resolution]
M = c(hevrolet) | f(ord)                [make of car]
NAME = Your Name

** Please also enclose your email address**
** If you are submitting a speed for TALLADEGA, specify whether or not
   restrictor plates were in plac **
*** Notice! It is now m(anual) not s(tandard). There has been some confusion
    that I thought I fixed in the last posting, but it got posted erroneously
    anyway. So please make the change for shifting either: 'a' or 'm'

Please be as complete as possible. But send what you know and I'll just
put a '-' where you dont have information.

Upon the request of Glen Kendall, I will soon be adding the 'current' lap
records for each track. Therefore, if YOU know what the current lap records
are in REAL-LIFE for the different tracks, please send them to me. If you
know their name, date or record, car make, etc, ... just send what you know.

A '*' before a record is a new/updated record

I've noticed that nearly everyone who posts to this records list uses
vga.  I know it is not because they don't have svga, so my question is:

Does everyone else get faster speeds using VGA instead of SVGA?

I have a Pentium p90 and I use vga with FM sounds. I get 30 fps all the
time and that makes a significant difference in your ability to control
the car. You simply have more time to adjust things since the car travels
less for each frame that you see. Your inputs are less exagerated.
