N1&N2: Tracks/Info/AIpits???

I hope this will get some response from some N2 players cause I guess it
might be the same. I'm getting better at this sim racing thing and want to
start increasing my % of race thingy. It's not too hard to figure out the
% race length needed for one pit stop, but trying to setup a two pit stop
race gets confusing. Is there anyway/anyplace I can find out the rough
number of laps the AI cars will run before pitting at various tracks? For
instance, at michigan I ran 30% to get a pit stop, but at C***te I only
needed 20% (that's without cautions). I ran the shorter races without
cautions, but now that I'm looking for longer two stop races, I'm trying
to turn the caution option on, My lastrace at C***te had cautions at 10
laps, 20 laps, and 40 laps (I didn't cause any ;-)) I'm guessing it's
random, but I'd like to get some estimates of what to expect so I can set
the % for two pit stops. After I master C***te ;-), I'm gonna try some
of the one mile tracks. I'm working my way down. I should be great by the
time I get to Bristol. Any and all help is appreciated and all you folks
still running N1 please contact me so I can pick your brains. I'm hoping
to get better so that When/if I get N2 for xmas, I'll be able to kick some
***on NROS.
Aloha, Henry

   Look in the trackname.TXT file for each track for a line like this:
SPDWY 0 49 56  (this is from ATLANTA.TXT)

   Ignore the zero (which has another, secret meaning), the second and
third numbers are the shortest and longest number of laps the AI cars
should go before pitting.

   Gordon fan?  :)


Before you send me UCE, I know what you're thinking...  Did he complain
to five or six postmasters last month?  Now, you must ask yourself one
question: "Do I feel lucky?"  Well, do you, punk?
