Nascar Racing- Weird Happenings

While racing at Watkins Glen, I had a strange crash.  WG is my worst
track and against 100% opponents I've never finished a race.  Anyway, my
race had been a disaster and I was in last ( I didn't repair my car
damage because I didn't care ).  So the 38th place car was coming up to
lap me.  I wasn't in a good mood so I bumped him as we were coming up to
the interlube ( they call it that, right? ), so I saw him spinning off
while I cut across the tough turn. Then,*** Trickle ( the guy I bumped
) appeared in my rear view mirror in a blur and I found myelf doing 15
spins and hitting the wall and getting my rear sheared off.  While
watching the replay, it showed DT spining sideways when he picked up
TREMENDOUS speed ( And he's still sideways ) and then he smacked me
sending me spinning.  Talk about revenge.  Anyway, has this happened to
anyone else? I've got the replay for anyone who wants it, since it's
real hard to explain without pictures.

Keith - it sounds like your Atlanta track installation may be corrupted.
What you described sometimes happens when the AI lap files are missing or
errant.

I have had this happen at quite a few tracks.  Atlanta seems to be the
worst.
Basically it's like Russian Roulette.

How do you correct AI lap files ?

You'll probably need to do a re-installation of the the tracks.
