When you get off the track at WG in NASCAR2 after a wreck or whatever,
after a complete stop you can't accelerate at all.  It seems your stuck in
molasses until the rear tires hit the pavement.  Is anyone else having
this problem?  NR1 doesn't seem to be this way.  What's up with that?  It
will let you spin the car around, but it won't let you accelerate.  Any
thoughts?

Hurry up and wait.

The grass is slick. Stay on the asphalt. There should be a penalty for getting
all four tires on the grass, and making it difficult to get going again is the
penalty.

Every hear ofthe BOG???
If you've ever been to the Glen (or any road course with a grass runoff area),
and you go off into damp grass with slick tires, you may not cget back on the
track for a while....

That's the real deal. Did you see Rusty get off the track at the "Bud at
the Glen" this year? Took him forever to get back on. Hopefully this will
put a stop to the lawn-mowing that goes on in the inner loop in the online
races.
