  It's an actual track in Wisconsin Andre.  Great bullring, a must-have IMO.

Isn't that like saying the last thing GPL needs is more road courses?

variety.

Damn straight! NASCAR would can any track over 1 mile if I was in charge :).
I think the reason short tracks are so popular is that is what most people
can relate to. Nothing like a good old Saturday night short track race on
dirt or pavement.  I can hear Gratton Raceway (road course) from where I
live and have never been there, but I drive to another state for a short
track race. Hell I'd go to NY for super DIRT week if I could talk the women
it letting me go. *sigh*

What would you know you like road courses for Christ sake!  <VBG> Short
tracks are all about bumper to bumper door handle to door handle racing.
None of this follow the leader parade lap stuff. If it wasn't for short
tracks there would be no NASCAR, and South Boston has played a big part in
its growth.

Nashville is another example of how NASCAR is going down hill. They drop one
of the greatest short tracks for another blah and boring speedway. Oh well
at least its not 1.5 miles long.

It always crashed when I tried to race at Spa.  The car dropped but after a
feet the PC would reboot itself.  It was the only track I really cared
about, so it went into the recycle bin... :(

Thats the problem "most" people online don't know how to race a short track.
They have been brought up on the 1.5 milers and super speedways. They don't
have the patance to run 15-20 laps behind a car to wait for them to slip up
to make the pace. Its gun it and go.

Actually, Mart was my fav oval track back on TEN, I could never qual
properly there for some reason, but the team I was part of had some
awesome long run setups, loved driving through the field :-)

BullRun, WG, Sears and Marty, those where my tracks :-)

Beers and cheers

Marty is still a great track, the prob com is that so many of the guys on
Sierra. don't know how to race at Marty.

N2/BGN/N99/N3 vs. N4/N2002 is a *huge*  *huge* difference.

I also raced S.Boston and the other BGN tracks alot online with N2/BGN....
but compared to what we got today that was crawling around on the floor vs.
todays figure-skating!

Didn't you just say that that was exactly why you *loved* short-tracks ???
I.E. all that "bumper to bumper door handle to door handle racing." - and "
none of this follow the leader parade lap stuff."  ??

Oki so the track might be joy to race for those who like they type of
tracks..  but that was not what my inithial post was about - it was merely
*my* observations and opinions on these new tracks.
