Next RAS race

What do you think about Loudon ? It's got plenty of room, good side by side action, etc., while still being a slower track. -John

Honest opinion John? I hate Loudon......I've been there, I've seen races from there on TV, and I just can't seem to find a way to like it.......not to mention Adam and Kenny. But, that said, I'd still race there......or Chicago, Kansas, Homestead, Michigan, Cali, or any of the other long, wide roomy tracks. And I'm not too sure about the side-by-side at Loudon either, but I can't say for sure as I've avoided racing it in 2002....

So far we've only done a road course, short ovals, and Pocono which has slow turns. Loudon is another mile long oval like Dover except less banked and slower. How about something bigger and faster like Talladega or Texas? David G Fisher "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

by > > side action, etc., while still being a slower track. Texas, Atlanta, Vegas, Chicago, Kansas are always good for some close and fun racing. I have had some really good online races at Rockingham as well. I am sick of Daytona and Talledega. Which road course has already been raced? Heck, any place is fine with me. It is just good to have a group of people that is interested in just racing and having fun. Thanks again to Eldred for the server. Kyle

Loudon sounds great - a good choice IMO. Coca Cola - not for me. Achim "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > What do you think about Loudon ? It's got plenty of room, good side by > side action, etc., while still being a slower track. > > -John > >

I can live with most tracks except for Darlington and Sears Point.... it's just become useless imho. Loudon (New Hampshire) is a good one imho... had some fun races with N4 there. -- ed_ (Enter Tom: ) "John Pancoast" <[email hidden]> skrev i melding news:[email hidden]... > What do you think about Loudon ?

I'm with you, Ed. I hate Loudon with a passion. Although, I respect the Cup guys who race well there. It stretches my patience to the painful MAX! I only race there when absolutely forced to do so....by some series or league race were season champ points are at stake! Loudon is not a "side by side" racing .....race track. Who said that? ....lol... If you are aside someone at Loudon...you are bound for the wall....not the podium! Its a one (fast) groove track, period. I had to race in a "fixed setup" N3 race there one time.....150 damn laps...of excruciating, patience wrenching...boredom! Root canal was a lot more fun! No way I'm racing at Loudon....for fun...and "by choice!" TP "Ed White" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:O6lu8.67834$[email hidden]... > Honest opinion John?

I said it was good side by side Tom, meant in sim racing, sorry it differs from your view............... Fwiw, I've had several great Nx races there, including last night. Could care less where the next race is, just throwing out ideas. But then, why do you care where the next race is; we're a bunch of children, remember ? <G> -John "Tom Pabst" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tDOu8.231516$Yv2.68479@rwcrnsc54... > I'm with you, Ed. > > I hate Loudon with a passion.

Actually my "best" N4 race was at NH. Went side by side for about 10 laps. It was great fun, nothing like the real races there. There was about 4 yellows in just under 100 laps with 7 guys racing which I didn't think was too bad with N4. I have yet to mess with it in nr2002. The weather has just been to nice to be inside the last week or so. OF course in a couple more weeks the real tracks here in MI start racing so I hope to spend even less time in front of the tube. :) MadDAWG

From the sounds of it I <fortunately> had to miss last weeks pocono race :) I would like to see some racing on the new tracks myself. For the 2nd race I would say Dega. As mentioned in a previous post, Louden is a painful track to run. Cyas Mitch "MadDAWG" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Actually my "best" N4 race was at NH.

Hi John, IMHO you were perfectly right. Fast entry into T1 / T3 on different lines is a bit of a challenge, but you can most definitely have side by side battles there - it just requires two good and reasonably cool drivers.

I bracket race at the Mid Michigan Motorplex in the street car class. I also go to watch at Crystal Raceway, Spartan Speedway, Berlin Raceway, and now that its reopening Ionia Raceway Park. Most of the tracks seem to be opening the weekend of the 27th. I have the first Street Tire Shootout that weekend so I hope to get a few more things done to the car before then. MadDAWG

Yeah I figured since the crew in here sees NASCAR as "just turning left" would think even less of "just going straight". Of course like anything in life if you don't do it yourself you really don't know anything about it. :) MadDAWG
