RASCAR 100 at Dover

We've just finished an excellent race at Dover. Here is the result: F S # DRIVER INTERVAL LAPS LED POINTS STATUS 1 1 128 AchimT 127.364 100 57* 185 Running 2 5 6 Mitch_A -15.30 100 19 175 Running 3 7 307 Jan Verschueren -16.40 100 0 165 Running 4 3 22 Phil Lee -25.01 100 7 165 Running 5 6 49 ZZ Busch -2L 98 0 155 Running 6 8 12 epickett -2L 98 0 150 Running 7 4 17 DaveGF -3L 97 0 146 Running 8 2 07 Burd_Turglar -3L 97 17 147 Running (aka BowtNetterToDo aka Ginger Fletcher) 9 11 311 J_Pancoast -64L 36 0 138 Running The full race summary is available here: http://www.racesimcentral.com/results/RASCAR/RAS_250_Bristol_30Mar02.html There were 2 caution periods. The first came after 43 laps. Everyone pitted for tyres with Achim sent to the back of the longest line for an unsafe pit exit. The second catuion came out with 29 laps to go. All the leaders pitted except me. I was in 4th position, the last car on the lead lap, and decided to gamble on my tyres making it to the end. Unfortunately this proved to be the wrong decision. I was passed a couple of laps after the restart and dropped back quickly. The race was excellent. I particularly enjoyed a spell of very close racing with Ginger and Mitch.

Lap 38, @$**% screen froze and I go right up into the wall. Pit, and now I'm down a couple of laps as yellow comes out right afterward. Race 2 at Phoenix, @$%#** screen freezes as I enter the back stretch on last lap in second place. I weave all over the track and end up causing Jan to bump me....race over. That's three out of the five races ruined by screen freezes, two on the last lap. Now that my cry baby whining is over, :-) I want to say that the r.a.s. races have been TREMENDOUS. Really excellent driving by everyone. I honestly can't think of one moment in any race where I've been upset with another driver or thought someone did something stupid or silly. Looking forward to next week already. Thanks Eldred for hosting. David G Fisher "Phil Lee" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a8nv6h$t6dp4$[email hidden]...

I had one freeze in the Dover race and two in the Phoenix race. The first one in the Phoenix race happened about 3/4 of the way through during a caution so it wasn't a problem. Jan suggested it might be a heat problem, although it only happens in N2002. I think I'll take the case off and have a fan blow on the video card and see what happens. David G Fisher

Thanks for this valuable info, John. As you guys may have noticed I have little oval racing experience (I got that status of 5 on SW's by winning few races against many), which is why pitstops and similar aspects to me are close to unknown on oval type of tracks. I've of course read the manual and kept an open eye on comments from experienced oval racers, but that's just not the same as a good measure of personal experience.

Hi Richard, I am not sure this is the same on all tracks, but this issue existed already in N4. I noticed it at Watkins Glen for example. It is my impression that it happens on tracks where you don't cross the s/f line when starting from the pits. The first lap that gets counted is the first lap you do after crossing the s/f line the first time. If that line is in a track location where you don't cross it when starting from the pits, this 'out'lap isn't counted. I think quite a few drivers must have reported this to Papy, and I was surprised to see this in N2002 as well. From this fact I concluded that this is obviously how it's supposed to be, i.e. how it's in real Nascar - everyone starting from the pits is a lap down at certain tracks. Is that so?

Hi Dave, yes, that is true. However, it could IMO also be an indication that for some reason, the datalink between your system and the host didn't work for a moment, and the race was started before the two could re-establish proper communication. I wonder, could this also lead to the screen freezes David is experiencing?

I'm not 100% sure, but starting in the pits means you either didn't finish qualifying in time or didn't click into the race itself in time... I finished Qualifying, but had to get up from my wheel and maybe didn't push the button early enough. I was up only 20 secs. I'm just wondering why, when I saw the green flag fall and I was told to go, I was a lap down?

Most likely didn't click into the race itself on time, by not finishing qualifying your basically taking a provisional and starting at the rear. Sorry I didn't make it guys, something came up and I had to run my daugher out and about.. I look foward to joining some of your races here soon.

Just out of curiosity, you could try going into your appropriate renderer ini file and reduce the size of the texture set by a few MB. Perhaps the game is trying to use just a little tiny bit too much texture memory and eventually the drivers decide to just up and texture swap to death for a few seconds. I have no idea if this is a solution, but who knows. David G Fisher wrote:

The only reason you would start in the pits is if you didn't join the race before the pace lap started. At that point, you start in the pits, and you can't exit them until all of the cars have passed the exit to pit road.

I know for 99.9% sure what your problem is David... I have lost countless points and races due to a freezing computer. ohhhhhh the agony the agony :( My problem turned out to be heat related... I installed a new fan and put the casing back on my computer a few weeks ago, since then I have not had one single freeze ... wooohoooo ;) It's the heat that cause your computer to freeze.. sounds a bit wierd *lol* Mikkel David G Fisher <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:gPUr8.265912$[email hidden]...

Great racing with ya David! Your lock up issue does sound heat related. N2k2 does push your vid card to it's limits.

I was so outta shape myself on that last restart I kept using the wall to straighten her out :O). I wasn't really sure if I just did it to myself.

If it's a heat problem - wouldnt running in a lower resolution reduce the amout of heat generated?? Have you tried to run it in a lower res. and "timed" the period it takes before a freeze occurs??

I did two pitstops, and both times I entered the pits in first position, and left them in 4th or 5th - which is to say, I don't need anyone to catch me.

Homestead would be good for me since I have a league race there on the following Monday. Texas is also a fun track. Phil --- Racesim Central Administrator http://www.racesimcentral.com

Guys; When and where do you all race? is there a pw on the server? I might show up for a few races if that's ok. Gotta try to beat Achim at something! <g> [email hidden] (jason moyer) wrote in news:[email hidden]:

He's starting to think he's good. :-) We race on Eldred's epickett server at sierra.com on the weekend. I think it's usually going to be Saturdays. Password is ras. Race date, time, tracks, etc. is posted here at r.a.s sometime during the week. David G Fisher

Maybe we could do those this week (since Texas ran today) and then follow Jason's suggestion of racing the real Cup schedule from then on. -- David G Fisher

I just tried both those tracks for the first time tonight and you're right, Texas is a fun track. Really excellent. BTW, I uploaded my car file to the RASCAR forum at racesimcentral.com for any one who wants it. I've got all the ones there so far myself. David G Fisher
