next RASCAR races

I would like to suggest road courses for next weekend. I just got my work schedule and I'll be working next Saturday and I SUCK on the road courses. Damn near a menace to racing on one. Good luck to all. Look forward to next time. Dan

Correction: We've done *some* of the road courses! I cannot see any reason why we shouldnt be able to race any of the converted tracks.. Silverstone or Oring should be good.... -- ed_ "EldredP" said: > We already did the road courses, but I might run 'em again. I can't make the > race either. :-) I need to see what tracks are left...

I'd like to second that. Silverstone, Oring, Cleveland and St. Jovite are great tracks, each of them in its own way.

>Ah, but you forget - the races chosen are picked because of MY schedule...<g> True true. I bow to your power <g> I cannot see any reason why we shouldnt be able to race any of the converted tracks.. Silverstone or Oring should be good.. I am pretty much computer illerate. I have downloaded the converter but have no idea what to do with it. I think I got a track called Cleveland as well. I have all previous Papy discs. Is there a primer anywhere on how to use the utility? Dan

Oh man, if you guys wanna race at tracks like that (I have no converted tracks...yet) can I suggest it's race 2. I'm hoping to make this Saturday's race and I'd rather it was a little less challenging for my first time out - plus I can only make race 1... I can just about manage WG, but can not get Sears Point at all. I s'pose that's moot as you've already raced these tracks, yes? When is a weekend's track usually determined? I'd like to log as much time as possible pre-race, and that can be difficult with family commitments. Wednesday evenings are usually my best chance... BTW, where's the source of these converted tracks? Cheers, Mark Reading, UK "Joachim Trensz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<ab9bru$gabvp$[email hidden]>... > I'd like to second that.

That about covers it I think, one would almost think you've done it before...:-) Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--

Hi Dixieman, Eldred has meanwhile decided against RC's in the near future, but as for the converter, there's a readme in the archive that explains the use. Basically, the easiest is if you have the source sim installed, unzip the converter to a directory of your choice, start it, point it to the locations of source and target sim using the two buttons the converter provides for this, select a track from the list that should appear, and then click on 'convert'. You can also convert from other sims or from CD in some cases I believe, but I won't talk about that - why make things more complicated than necessary. For me ;-) Achim "Dixiemandan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > >Ah, but you forget - the races chosen are picked because of MYschedule...<g> > > True true.

Heh - people haven't even had time to practice the *offical* tracks yet. You want to ADD to that...???<g> Eldred -- Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett A friend of mine is involved in a fund-raiser walk-a-thon for research to cure breast cancer.

I think the worst that has happened to far was that John Simmons found out that the converter doesn't have the proper Nascar contingency decals on the top right of the welcome window, and that the window background doesn't comply with generally agreed Nascar painting rules. Even worse, the version number was missing in the proper places - left, right, top and rear right He then decided that any Nascar related software that doesn't have the contingency decals or a proper paintjob for a Nascar (or worse, is lacking both) is not worth sitting on his HD, and in an attempt to delete it sufficiently radically to make a clear statement about Nascar related software without proper Nascar looks, he deleted his RASCAR roster page. Which in the end forced him to re-do the whole thing, which again in the end wasn't all bad as the new page is nicer than the previous one. Well, such things happen, so try to remain cool and unemotional when doing the conversion, do not go by looks but by results, and make a backup of your operating system before starting the converter ;-) Achim (do I need to mention that all of the above is a <;-) ;-) tongue in cheek > friendly joke? :-) "Dixiemandan" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Thanks Achim, > At the risk of blowing up the free worls I'll give it a shot. > Dan

Couldn't you have waited until tomorrow.

I have to wait for phil to get off his lazy ass and give me pic updates. :) I can't do it myself because I've replace some cars with unauthorized versions. :) -- ========================================================= DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 and 2002 Season (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 RASCAR Roster http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john Barbarian Diecast Collector (460+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================
