WOW! WOW! WOW!

LAP 1
Turns 1 and 2             -  This is not as difficult as everybody was
saying it was going to be.
                                    -  If N3 is anything like this..... WOW!

Entrance to turn 3      -  What is that Tan color thing.
                                    -  This is GOING TO HURT!!!!!
                                    -  The Asphalt sure has a nice texture,
I have a VERY GOOD view of it.
                                    -  Would someone please get this car off
of me!!!!!
                                    -  N3 is going to be one wild ride.....

Straight and Turn 4   -  Man this is a long straight!!!!

sign?  I will wait!
                                    -  Turn should be at the bottom of this
rise I just went over.
                                    -  Split second reference to the track
guide, " Brake just before you reach the
                                       crest of the hill".
                                    -  Opps!
                                    -  This is GOING TO HURT!!!!!
                                    -  Would someone get me off this hay
bale!!!!
                                    -  I CAN DO THIS!  N3 depends on it.

Turn 5                         -  People! Stand back, I am coming
through!!!!!!!!!!
                                    -  This isn't bad!!!!
                                    -  oh!  I am only going 50 or so miles
an hour.
                                    -  I need to get back up to speed!!!!
                                    -  I can go faster in a Stock Car - Like
the ones that will be in N3

Turn 6                         -  This is cool!!!!  I can steer the car with
the throttle.
                                    -  That will be so cool in N3.

Turn 7 & 8                  -  Oh, we're turning the other direction.
                                    -  To fast!
                                    -  My foot lets off the gas all of the
way....  Mind references the track guide, "be careful
                                       when letting of the gas".
                                    -  Opps!!!!
                                    -  I try to recover the slide/early
spin.  To late to recover from the SPIN.
                                    -  My Mind references the track guide,
"Turn into the slide and accelerate....can do a
                                       360 and keep going"
                                    -  Okay that wall was not to bad, lets
get back out onto the track!
                                    -  Opps!
                                    -  Okay that wall was not to bad, lets
get back out onto the track!
                                    -  Opps! Hey, this reminds me of how I
play golf!!!!  ==\/\/\/\==
                                    -  I wonder what the sheet metal of my
N3 car would look like after that!

Start/Finish Line        -  Hey there is the start finish line......  Lets
try a GP car! :')  Lets try it in a N3 car. :(
                                       (My first lap in the GP is too
traumatic for me to go over again.  I was not ready for it!

A few highlights         -  You can not recover from to much accerleration
out of turn 2.
                                    -  You can win a gold medal for the
perfect double flip double axle you will do when you
                                       hit the hay bales.
                                    -  You can not catch air coming over the
creast going into turn 4.
                                    -  You can use your head as the
rotational point for your car,  so it can act like top.
                                    -  And finally,  for those of us who
race N2,  we all have alot to learn!

hmmm, Was this one of your laps or were you watching me?

I got to take a break now as I am  laughing so hard my stomach hurts.

I have a slight shoulder seperation or Shoulder Sprain and  I still cant
stay out of the car to let it heal! Only hurts when I stop running laps.

Best so far here is  GP Lotus 1:10.9    GP2 Lotus 1:15.1

Well I am gonna go try a Triple Flip, Triple Axel while on fire over the Hay
bails.

Got down to 1:09.74 so far. Man I wish I had more time. Maybe I can call in
sick for about a week!

Damn! taking off tomorrow after work for the weekend. Hmmm should I pack up
my puter and take it with me?  :)

You guys have a blast while I am gone. I will be running practice laps in my
sleep.

Later

When I take it easy,   I can get to the low 120's in a GP car.  In fact I
ran 4 laps (120-122) in a row. Just can not seem to get under a 120.  I
think most of my problem now is what I am running (or lack of) for a video
card.  I don't have the markers (ie.  change in wall color, pack of trees,
group of people, things like that) to optimize my braking points.  I have to
run about 50% of the graphics to get a good frame rate.  I tried with all of
the detail and was getting about 10 - 15 fps.  The other problem is, my road
course driving it terrible.  I would be one for the Nascar drivers that
would hire a road course driver to race for me on any of the road courses.

When I push it.....   anywhere from 2-4 minutes.  Depending on how many
times I spin.
