Well Ginger won another one. :-) Big surprise. Thanks Tim for hosting again. It seemed like a really good race. I don't like NASCAR cars on RC's, but I had a pretty good time I guess. There was a one guy after the race in the lobby who was ripping me while getting drunk :-) . He said I couldn't handle the cars on any tracks other than Texas, among other things. When I looked over the replay though I noticed that while I started 12th and he started 6th, I reeled him in by lap 7. I blew by him and took over 6th but then I got hit with a crap BF penalty on lap 9 at the inner loop even though I stayed to the right of the cones and immediately got back onto the track. That put me back at 15th or 16th, but I moved back up and finished 6th. I'm sure I would of dispatched him easily without the BF, and I didn't even care about this race. Next time he will be taught a hard, painful lesson. :-o David G Fisher "Tim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:V3g59.3161$[email hidden]... Thank you guys for the patience.

I _believe_ it is a menu command. It's been a while since I've used PCAnywhere. Terminal Server is SO much faster, and with Microsoft releasing an outstanding Mac client (yeah, floored me too :)), it's a superb setup. -Larry "Tim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Y4g59.3167$[email hidden]...

I lost 2nd at Sears, but made it through this one today. I think it's because I changed my shifting habit a bit. It cost me some time, but I now blip the throttle when shifting up. I guess it takes some stress off of the gearbox. I had a decent day. Came out 10th, which is a party-time finish for me at a road course :) As usual, I made it all the way to about 5 laps to go without so much as touching a fender, and then everything went to shit. I think I hit the rails twice in the last 5 laps. My back gets to hurting so bad that I start fidgeting around in the chair, and I invariably end up screwing up somewhere. No one hit me in the rear end. Thanks! Well, there was one minor bump but it was no biggie. I'd like to think it's because the RASCALS know me by now, and know that if someone is behind me and they are faster, I don't block or hold them up. I just hold a line and let them go around uncontested. I don't make them fight for it and they are more patient and careful. Unless it's the last lap :) Thanks for hosting Tim! -Larry "frederickson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:uOh59.32279$[email hidden]... > I lost 2nd gear for no reason on the pace lap, wasnt even pressing on the > gas.

<plants tongue firmly in cheek> David, you're no longer playing in the hotlapper kiddiepool. You're racing with the big boys now. That means you have to take care of all aspects of racing, which implies knowing the rules. To begin with, there's no excuse for losing the car on your own in a 36 lap sprint race. None whatsoever. If you don't have the stamina and concentration to keep it on the island for a mere 36 laps you have no business racing for a top 5 finish. Then, if you do lose it, you have to take your medicine, go up the escape road and obey the rules of the sport. None of this trying to recover and get back on the track asap endangering your fellow competitors thing. My plan, before you conveniently took yourself out of the equation, was to keep up as closely as possible without hurting my tyres for another 8 to 10 laps and then start putting pressure on you as you struggled to navigate around the track on completely shot tyres. Even if you'd pitted early, I'd still would have had a shout as, with a lighter car and less laps to complete on the new tyres I could have gone at least a sec a lap faster than you in the closing stages. > I'm sure I would of dispatched him easily without the BF, and I didn't > even care about this race.

Kansas). This is the thinking man's autosport David. Think about that. <g> Jan. =---

I have done that at the Glen, with a 6 second lead on second and in the innerloop on the last lap no less. It can be quite frustrating indeed, ended up scored a lap down after almost seeing the finish line with such a lead, arghhh! ;-)

Hotlapper old farts pool? >You're racing > with the big boys now. That means you have to take care of all aspects of > racing, which implies knowing the rules. I'd have to watch NASCAR to learn these dumb rules they have (like while on the track during a green flag restart, being forced to stay behind a car which is slowly entering the pits and watching the field disappear off into the distance) which would be too painful. >To begin with, there's no excuse > for losing the car on your own in a 36 lap sprint race. None whatsoever.If > you don't have the stamina and concentration to keep it on the island fora > mere 36 laps you have no business racing for a top 5 finish. Well I didn't actually do that. You wouldn't know because you were so far behind after I passed you that you couldn't see, but I was trying to find a way around Brian. One reason you were so far behind (other than my blinding speed) was that you lost your car at T1 and went off course for a bit. So as you said, "there's no excuse for losing the car on your own in a 36 lap sprint race. None whatsoever. If you don't have the stamina and concentration to keep it on the island for a mere 36 laps you have no business racing for a top 5 finish." :-p >Then, if you do > lose it, you have to take your medicine, go up the escape road and obeythe > rules of the sport. None of this trying to recover and get back on thetrack > asap endangering your fellow competitors thing. I didn't think I'd get a black flag for that and since you were so far back, no one was in danger when I got back on track. Even JS who has a ton of experience with NASCAR sims misjudged the game's choice of when it would give a black flag. > My plan, before you conveniently took yourself out of the equation, was to > keep up as closely as possible without hurting my tyres for another 8 to10 > laps and then start putting pressure on you as you struggled to navigate > around the track on completely shot tyres. Your plan <cough> would of failed because my tires were in excellent shape even after moving up from 13th (not 12th as I stated earlier) to 6th and tire wear was never really an issue for me in the race. As long as you never locked them up and skidded, tires were fine for a one stop strategy. >Even if you'd pitted early, I'd > still would have had a shout as, with a lighter car and less laps to > complete on the new tyres I could have gone at least a sec a lap fasterthan

I think my F1 influenced will is doing me just fine. Not counting freezes, I have almost never lost control of my car or have caused yellows or crashes no matter what condition my tires are in. Even with freezes I've barely caused any yellows. Yes, on some tracks where the car handles like a boat in mud I do get very bored and punish the tires too much but that's more by choice than by not understanding what to do. I don't like NASCAR, and that's not going to change. On some tracks that dislike comes shining through more than others. >you will never consistently beat > me, let alone have a sliver of hope to beat people like Ginger, Ian, John, > Brian, Mike, etc... the tyres will bite you every time (cfr. Kansas). This > is the thinking man's autosport David. Think about that. <g> I'm not thinking enough? Ok. I'll take that into consideration. I guess the fact that I've gone BLIND (freezes) for three seconds 1-4 times in almost every race has had no effect on my results? I think my results have been pretty damn good considering that tiny tiny bit of a disadvantage I've had. :-) David G Fisher P.S. Had a freeze yesterday when the announcement from my pit crew said "there's just five laps to go" after crossing the s/f line. Still managed to keep control of my car and made it through T1 unscathed. Something only an F1 influenced driver could do with torn up tires (must of been with the way I drive) and his eyes closed for three seconds. :-)

I had about a 50 second lead on Larry(plenty of time for a splash/go), but I wanted to see if I could make it without a stop. I even let myself get lapped again so that I'd have one less lap to run. If the finish line hadn't been uphill, I could have coasted across.
