~~Yet another interesting calendar prob

OK here's a new one-- I edited my calendar, checked it twice and then some...
theadditional tracks show up BUT on many of the tracks it only allows 3 laps no
matter what the race leagth is set too.  Conversly, on the other tracks not
affected by the 3 lap limit a 1% race might be 21,956 laps!!! Whew what a race!
 Crank that baby to a 100% race and buy Goodyear cause it goes astronomical!
This editing business is crazy.  It looks so simple yet I've managed to***
the pooch on numerous occasion.  How some of you guys figure out all this stuff
is beyond me. At any rate anyone willing to help I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance--

I'm not sure about this one, but see if you are running 40 cars or 39.
I've seen weird stuff happen with 40 cars after the BGN install.

Hope this helps.

I suggest you look in your calender file and look at what you have the laps
# set at.  It should match the laps run for a 100% race distance.  There is
also a laps value in the txt file for each individual track.

If you have the BGN pack, make sure your calendar is in the new format

10  5  3 0 0 CALIF California_500 California_500 200 event1.pcx
biglogo1.pcx

And it's:  race #, month, day, 1st or 2nd of season, day or night, track,
race name, race name, race logo, champ logo
