Make sure you're not trying to run too many cars in the field.  If you
exceed the maximum, the extra cars have no place to pit, so they just
mull around "all dressed up and nowhere to go".  Others discovered this
same problem. Hope this helps.

Does this problem occur even if you set the PITS data in the SEARSPT.TXT
file to 40?  The only time I've had problems is when I increase the
number of cars but don't adjust the allocation in the pits.

  Could someone PLEASE e-mail me with the maximum number of cars that
can be raced at Sears Point. I currently have it set at 40, but I know
that is too many for the race to finish.
  Thanks.
                      Rob.

I thought the maximum is 40 (39+1 for the pace car).  Make sure that you
changed the numbers in the searspt.txt file in the PIT and CARS lines.
You gotta give them a pit stall (via the PIT line).
