I know i'm goign to sound like an ass for saying this, but I'm also very
disappointed that we didnt restart...  must have been atleast 10 cars that
got damaged on that first incident...

Grandy asked why we should restart..... cannot understand why you didnt get
that Mike...
Just like you wanted to protect your lead - I wanted to have a shot at
actually finishing this race....

I've not had the chance to parteceipate in many RASCAR races... and would
love to finish one...  is that a thing of the past?

Hope Homestead went better though.

I had a good time in the race even though it was darn ugly :)  Unfortunately
I discoed with 15 to go.

 I'm finally starting to get some feeling back in my ***cheeks <g>.

I had a good race, made some nice moves until the last lap when I totally
blew it and that wasn't the worst I took #328 along. What a disastrous
finish.

The thing was that about 8 laps before the end I was right behind Zugzug and
he forced me to go round the outside, I lost two spots*** to dry.
Another long yellow period came and so there was a one lap shootout. After
leading most laps and making some nice moves I kinda felt I deserved the
win. And that's never the state of mind to be in in such a situation. I knew
they were all going to stay on the left and instead of going around the
outside like earlier, I made a promise that I would follow every move to the
left with an even bigger move to the ledt. So I ended up down the apron in
t3 crashing into the side of #328 and loosing another 2 places.

My apologies #328.

You can still catch it, practice is still up at 19:12pm EST :)

Sorry Ed, but I disagree with you on the restart, unless there's a
problem with the server or something, I'm against restarts

Having said that though, that was a pretty shitty race, it had
everything but long green runs :-), guys racing to the front from L1, no
discipline under yellow.....man, I think we even came to a halt in the
Tri Oval as went green once ?

Good thing I have a sense of humor :-), sorry to BFarmer for taking you
out late in the race, I was trying to get low to pit to serve a bogus BF
and was clearly not paying attention to my surroundings

Man, I was being so patient and all, just dodged wrecks and tried to
keep the car in piece, was in about 10th late in the race and then I got
that BF, was PO'ed and haven't raced online for a a while, paid the
price for that, too bad BFarmer did the same

It IS possible to have good racing at Dega guys, I know, I had at least
*one* back on TEN :-), but it takes patience

As for me, I need to brush up on some NASCAR rules

"You are NOT allowed to serve BF's during restarts" - gotcha
"You are NOT allowed to merge before T1, even under yellow" - gotcha

The extra drag will make it so slow so theres absolutly no point (unless
points are to be won) to continue. I see very little in lurking around the
track for over an hour - doing nothing!

As I've said before, Superspeedways is completely different ball-game...  at
most track you can get away with a pretty shabby car, but on a 'SS' it's
virtually impossible - unless the damage is very minor.

I totally forgot....

It was really great getting the chance to race with you guys, I won't be
a regular but I'll certainly try to make as many races as possible, even
though I'm not usually into this S&M thing :-)

One problem that I have, more so in GPL, is hearing my own engine and tyres
at the start of a race.  With everyone else's engines revving like mad, I
often end up losing control because I can't hear what my car's doing.
Anyone else have this problem?  Any solutions?

This should be fun for all but as we all know s__t happens. From the
races Ive seen in RASCAR this race was the exeption not the rule. I would
bet homestead went much better than the dega race (I had to bail).

Mitch

Homestead didn't have any havoc, and I saw fast guys, good racing and
intelligent driving around me (Colin!). Unfortunately we had quite a few
yellows again. More than I was able to sit out at 2am, so I quit after
around 40 laps, wrote this... and went to bed :-)
