    Well this is different, but still a bug.  I ran another offline race at
Bristol, it ended under caution.  The moment the leader crossed the finish
line, everyone stopped.  did the Papy shuffle and dissapeared.  I  continued
on across the s/f line.  Final results showed everyone in their proper place
but we all finished a lap down from the leader(at least those still on the
lead lap.)
a boo boo in the code methnks.

Eldred, the same thing has happened to me at a couple of the
tracks... don't remember which, except Richmond was one.  I think
I was last on lead lap also both times... not sure tho.  Once, I
pitted anyway & had to "Go to the end of the longest line", still
on the lead lap.

  You'd think all this stuff would have been sorted out with
N4...............stinks imo.

I've had things like that happen a COUPLE of times.  At the Talladega race last
week, my spotter alternated between 2 messages.  "Pass the xx car"(3 cars
ahead), and "Stay behind the XX car"(several cars behind).  In the end, I got a
black flag for passing under yellow.  Grrrr...
If I had slowed down, I wonder if everyone who I let by would have gotten a
black flag...?

  Said it before, say it again; Papy needs some serious competition.
