I'll be there and I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be there too Tony. It's all for fun, and more than a few of us are new to this stock car racing too. David G Fisher "Tony Rickard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cnzr8.2388$[email hidden]...

Thanks David, and Joachim. However, I am the kind of driver that if my wheel needs calibrating and isn't straight I pronounce it undriveable and rush off to re-calibrate. So I am finding turning right down the straights quite a learning experience. Add to that the "sloppy" steering response and exiting onto the straights seem a bigger challenge than corners. I seem ok out of traffic, but quite often get into a "wobble" side by side with traffic. The most amusing is when "in the middle three wide" I create my own version of Nascar Pinball. Maybe I will practice a bit more :-) Tony

Don't know if it will be of any help, but until I tinkered with the linear/non-linear setting, the car seemed very wobbly and difficult to hold a line. Switching to 100% linear with my Ferrari wheel made a huge difference.

Hi Tony, I don't want to sound patronizing, apologies if I do, but I _much_ prefer intelligent opponents over 'fast' ones. It's far more fun having to properly prepare for lapping someone than getting crashed out by some hysterical crashkid who just can't stand the fact that someone else might be faster than himself and he might actually have to yield for once in his life. Lapping is part of the racing, and is also a tactical or strategic issue - approaching the lapped car, waiting for signals or mistakes, trying to read his actions, giving him the right signals through the driving, understanding what he is doing and then making the pass in the right moment, properly using the options that offer itself, etc. It's not as exciting as an outright top-of-your lungs fight for a position with a top driver with side-by-side battles and all the giving, taking, prevailing and yielding such a battle involves, but it is part of the racing fun if the lapped car behaves realistically, and not like a spoiled ignorant adolescent :-) Achim "Tony Rickard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:cnzr8.2388$[email hidden]...

Including myself... in all probability I won't show better than Dave (Henrie) would have. I was just fooling around in my reply to him. Don't let inexperience with stock cars put you off Tony... I can attest you're more than good enough to join. I can also attest the bunch racing these events are very clean racers, even in a lapping situation. Besides, these stock cars are pretty strong and don't flip *that* easily. ;-) Jan. =--- PS.: for those not in the MARA-E league, the inside joke is I collected Tony in The Loop (at Watkins Glen) in Wednesday's event as he attempted to recover from something on the last lap. One of those limited viewpoint/latency online deals.

For those wishing to read between the lines of Jan's polite response, substitute "recover from something" to "driving out of the hay bales" and "limited viewpoint/latency online deals" with "driving out of the hay bales in an FD just as the second placed F1 is about to lap you deals" :-) Tony

Hey guys, what do I need to know to join in? I might be able to make it, I am having some furniture delivered today and if it gets here before race time I can join in if y'all will have me.. Also where would I need to upload my car file too and where can I get your car files, do you have a central place for this?

Hehe John. Maybe I was being too subtle with my comment. By having to re-read your original comment I meant that first pass it read: "I have to go to play with the wife today at 3pm eastern" Tony

The car is pretty heavy, you just gotta learn to get out of it sooner than you do, and not use so much brake. 30 laps on a set of tires at Phoenix is VERY do-able. :-) I just got back from the play "Swing". It's way cool if you like big band stuff from the 40's. I can't race at Phoenix though, because we're just now sitting down to eat dinner... :( -- ========================================================= Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john 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 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. =========================================================
