Called the local gamestore but they didn't have it. Of course, the guy couldn't even answer when they will get it, so it might be that he had no clue what I was talking about. How more specific than "Sierra/Papyrus NASCAR 2002 for PC" can one be ? :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

Same thing in Belgium... although that doesn't constitute much in the way of "spread". ;-) Don't let that stop you having a race though... I'll catch some of the future ones (hopefully). Jan. =---

If it HAS to start at Noon, someone else will have to start it. I probably won't be home until about 12:45 or so.

If you used DeMONS/2, you could set it up to automatically start at noon (with a one hour practice session so you have time to get home and join in the fun) with a password that you could publish to RAS or a mailing list, and any other parameters you might deem useful...

Yeah you can set a password up on Open server. The Open part really is just first one in is the boss. I think you can also set admin password so when someone uses that password to join they will take over as boss. MadDAWG

I just popped in at 12pm est, and found a 100 lap Daytona race had just begun. I thought we had a one hour practice between 12 and 1??? David G Fisher "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

SON OF A BITCH!!! I thought noon was when the server first opened up and practice started. I logged on at 12:05 and found the race already in progress :-(((((( Are you guys planning on doing this again next weekend? Gary

You're not the only one. David G Fisher

Ditto guess I don't have to tape the race now. bummer MadDAWG

I was in that race for practice & Qual (6th, he he) but didn't recognise any names so figured it was wrong race. During practice I was taken out, intentionally, twice and caught up in another questionable wreck. So I bailed b4 the race started...

Likewise. I just got home. -- Fester "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar

I don't understand what you mean by "VROC-like control". With DeMONS, you can schedule races at specific tracks *ahead of time*, configure an unlimited number of DeMONS hosts, repeat a race at the same track forever, just once, or pretty much any value in between. DeMONS doesn't allow you to specify an open/setup server. It's original intent was for use by league admins that know their season schedules ahead of time, and allows scheduling accordingly, and nobody's managed to provide any valid reasons to change the original scope of the program.

1) In preparation for the race, is there anyplace we can get people's car files for those that intend to run this even? Is there an R.A.S Board Racing web page? 2) Would anyone mind sharing a setup with someone (me) who doesn't have even a glimmer of setup prowess where stockcars are concerned? 3) Speaking of road-course setups, I'm seeing something that reaches down deep into my inner most self and shakes it violently while screaming "ARE YOU F*CKING CRAZY?!" At the Glen, when I hit a bump (curbs), especially in the inner loop, the car goes up on the two outside (loaded) wheels and stays there for an AMAZING amount of time. Now, the amateur physics teacher in me says that's not right because you can't control a car that is only using two wheels to support the car through a turn. 4) My best speed at the glen is 114's (once or twice), but usually 113's, and in race conditions usually 111-112's. I get the sneaky suspicion that this is only a mediocre lap time, yet I consistenmtly qualify up front (usually no further back the 4th or 5th in pickup races). 5) At Sears Poiitn (in N4), I was turning 94-95mph laps (again, mediocre), but I honestly haven't gone to that track in NR2002 but maybe once or twice, probably because I don't have a decent setup. 6) When you guys are talking about lap times, are you talking about setups that can last for an entire realistic green-flag run, or are you talking about setups that can maybe last 10 laps you've baked the tires off the car? -- ========================================================= 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. =========================================================

Guessing here, but I have a feeling some of the GPLer's will have setups that don't last long, more concerned with lap times than a race setup. Then again, for the first race, I think a rc is nuts, just asking for a wreckfest since lots are new to stock car sims, don't know each other, etc. :) -John

Yeah, those GPL guys are whacky about single lap speed runs. I just tried Bob Stanley's Sears Point setup on the Team Lightspeed board, and after reducing the size of the front sway bar a couple of clicks, I was able to get into the 1:21's and 1:22's (six laps in a row - times varied by no more than half a second). I think after a bit of practice with that setup (and maybe some more tweaking) I will get into the 1:20's or maybe 1:19's. The places I have the most trouble are accelerating off turn 4 and turn 6. I have a lot of tire squealing going on and in turn 10, considerable tire smoke as I sometimes (unintentionally) Starsky/Hutch the car onto that back straight. I'm sure I'll burn through the tires quickly until I get comfortable with the setup. -- ========================================================= 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. =========================================================

IF I can make it, haven't had time to do anything setup-wise, so I'll probably just use the default fast setup. Sure hope yellows will be off Eldred......... -John "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
