Organising a r.a.s. NASCAR Racing 2002 online race

David G Fisher proposed renting a server for a newsgroup NASCAR Racing 2002 race on 17 March 2002 at Daytona, and many regulars signed up. EldredP, who had been given a copy of the game, offered to host instead and set up password-protected servers that people tested successfully. Participants discussed start times, a second track, setups and server configuration.

David G Fisher 11 Mar 2002 03:44 UTC#130939
If I rent a server for 6 hours on Sunday the 17th, who here at r.a.s. would be interested in participating in an N2002 online race or two? It should be released in Europe by then. There was some talk about doing this a couple of weeks ago, and after dealing with pick up races since then I'd like something a little better. 12pm to 6pm U.S. est. Time should work out ok for everyone except Australians. 1st race: Daytona 100 laps, fixed setup (Papyrus fast setup). 2nd: Either Lowes, Dover, Atlanta, or maybe we can just put it up for a vote. Again, fixed setup. David G Fisher
BTW, after re-reading my post, I didn't mean to sound so dismissive of Australians. I simply can't think of a time that would accomodate everyone (obviously impossible).

Count me in, although closer to a 1pm EST start would be good. Maybe a long practice session? :-) -- 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 was thinking an hour long practice session starting at 12pm est, and then a race start of 1pm. David G Fisher "Uncle Fester" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

If I've managed to get hold of a copy - count me in. Btw, fixed setup was/is a very good idea - as it will be fair for all - almost regardless of how long one has had the sim.... -- ed_

I'm usually game for something like this, but I will be in Nassau for some R&R. BTW, won't y'all be watching the Darlington race about then? I hope I can get Fox in the Bahamas, I should be fairly well sunburnt by then. Gerald "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<VKVi8.36045$[email hidden]>...

I'm renting the server from here http://www.extreme-servers.com/home.htm All the details about the server are on this page. Yep, we should all chip in and buy Eldred a copy in exchange for some race hosting. R.a.s. could have their own server 24 hours a day for $100 a month from that site. 33 guys chip in $3 a month? Never happen, I know. :-) David G Fisher "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Are you sure? I need to make the payment on the rental tomorrow (Tues.). Also, I noticed you said you might not be able to make a 1pm start. It's fine with me if the start is moved back.

OLR is not a bad deal, and they have great servers. I don't even race much on it yet, but am a paying premium member for the convenience. The connection quality to their servers from what I have seen and heard is very, very good. Get several guys to join up on that, and you can have some great races. Trouble is getting them to pay the 12 bucks a month.

Maybe Lowes or Dover? We could just take a vote and decide that way. I picked Daytona since I thought we would end up with some nice drafting and close racing there. It's not a really difficult track. Also, some of us don't have a lot of experience at many of the others. We could even do another SS like Talladega if the first race goes well.

Thanks - I have a copy now! A very generous fellow racer bought it for me. I posted that, but I never saw the message...

With NR2002 you now can setup an open server. That way the first one in becomes the boss. Its not something you'd want to do for a true open server, but if you set it up with a password to get in and only give the password to people you know its not really an issue. MadDAWG
If it the Glen I'm all for it. I have never been able to get Sears figured out in all my years of N2-NR2002. Hell who am I kidding I don't have the glen figured out either. I'm just better at remembering where I crash at the Glen. :) MadDAWG

If we do a RC, I think I'll sit it out. I've done about 10 laps toal on those to courses. NASCAR cars on RC's are not very interesting to me.

Ok, let's try this: I've setup a server to(hopefully) be available to r.a.s.. The password to connect is "ras" without the quotes. I've just started it up - let me know how it works tonight.

I run the Brick-KOTM servers and most of them are all "open" servers to be used by anyone. They are being hosted on a OC3.

It doesn't matter to me what tracks we run besides Daytona. Not that I'm a Dega Head or anything just looking for some good drafting fun. MadDAWG

I figured it out. I had been tweaking my video settings the day before trying to get rid of my occasional screen freeze and forgot to set them correctly before I closed down. That's what was cutting my fps way down. Fixed it after the online race. David G Fisher "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I just went into your server a few minutes ago and swithed the race location to Las Vegas, but then had to exit. When I went back and looked at your server at the Sierra.com lobby, there was now an epicket2 server running along side the original. Why would that happen?

Dave; They're labeled with his name. Also, if anyone doesn't realize it, you can list the servers alphabetically by clicking on the word server at the top of the screen in Sierra.com. -John "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8WUj8.34848$Yv2.14765@rwcrnsc54... > I'm dense, how will we know which server is yours? > dave henrie > "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > >
