This from a driver who raced with us last night at Las Vegas... >Here's what happened: >I (supposedly) parked too close to the pit wall to get left side tires. >As my team was changing right sides I was told by my spotter that I didn'tenter the pits safely and that I'd get a 30 second penalty. >When the 30 second clock ran down to '0' the NASCAR official just keptstanding in front of me and I could not leave. >I could put the car in gear and rev the motor but I would not move. This is after the 1306 patch. Any ideas? Thx Tim White INTRAC Motorsports www.birds-i-view.com/intrac

I can't remember exactly, but if you have more than one penalty coming into the pits, they're made culminative, and it doesn't necessarily show a clock for the extras IIRC. It's used to simulate the estimated time it would take you to leave the pits and re-enter to serve the other penalty(s). Check the original readmes, there's something about that in them. -John Tim <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:CtfB7.25930$[email hidden]... > This from a driver who raced with us last night at Las Vegas... > > >Here's what happened: > >I (supposedly) parked too close to the pit wall to get left side tires. > >As my team was changing right sides I was told by my spotter that Ididn't

If he had a flat on the left side, the game would not allow him back on the track, and because of pulling in too close, the crew could not change it. "Tim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:gAgB7.25945$[email hidden]...

Come on - he couldn't back up a bit and get in the pit stall again? In a real race, the crew would push the car backwards to re-position it. I don't think they'd say " Oh, darn, he's too close to the wall. Well, that's it, then..."
