Eerie thought

Man, it's gonna be eerie to race against that #3 car in N4 from now on. It's a sad day for all of sports. Tex

He's going to be removed from my active roster.

Yeah, I'm trying to decide the same thing. On the one hand, it would just be entirely too weird and almost even wrong to race against him, but on the other hand, I think everyone probably enjoys running side-by-side with the black #3. It just wouldn't seem at all the same without him. Disgruntled Goat <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I've always used his car as my own since the first Nascar Racing came out, and I'll continue to do that. But I'm gonna make some small changes to the paint. Not sure in what way just yet, but it'll be appropriate. He da man. "Tex" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:zaak6.1987$[email hidden]... > Yeah, I'm trying to decide the same thing.

I agree, I already took him off my rosters.........out of respect. Regular Racer <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:K13k6.4818$[email hidden]... > He's going to be removed from my active roster. > >

My first reaction was to remove the #3 from N4. Then I thought it'd be good to keep his memory alive by tradin' paint with him. I'm quite undecided at this point what to do. I think I may have to run F1CS2K and leave N4 alone for a while.... -- Ken's Sig 3.2 "Who is the more foolish?

**** Post for FREE via your newsreader at post.usenet.com **** This is tough for me too. But, one way to look at it is this... His car is in there, and famous as it is, because he was the backbone of the sports excitement. His cars presence has helped bring excitement to our Sim, and I would have to think that he would want us to go on enjoying his presence and the excitement it brings. I'm sure there is a better way to say it, but you get the point... -Larry "Ken Beard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hbdk6.381$[email hidden]... > My first reaction was to remove the #3 from N4.

I'm leaving him in. I'm running the out of the box 2000 season, and I'm leaving him in until I start running a 2001 calendar. Then I'm going to run with him at the season opener.

I've put Dale Jnr's in his Oreo sponsored car (to show a slight difference in livery) and I'm running the #8 myself, seemed a good thing to do. -- Dan Francis "Philip D'Amato" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Fdek6.34$[email hidden]... > I'm leaving him in.

When I run my simulation of the 500 later tonight, I'll leave Dale in the lineup. I want to race him one last time. I respect him enough to do that. But it won't ever be the same, in real life or even on the simulator when I'm looking for a bump draft partner. It's a loss like no other in recent memory.

leave him in. Who would be left on the grid If you were playing GPL? its a fitting memorial that Dale will forever be racing his black #3 and will never be forgotten as long as he remains in the Nascar sims

Davey Allison is still driving the #28 in mine. Although I guess this may eventually cause problems as living drivers move into the cars of those who have passed on. Come to think of it if you did this for every driver I'd have 2 or 3 Texaco #28's right now.....

Not only that, but at least he'll still be alive, if only on the computer! Man, losing Dale has took all the fire out of my racing interest lately! I just can't get over it, and here it is a month later, almost! :( On Mon, 19 Feb 2001 14:35:11 GMT, "Tex" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Me too! Back when N1 came out, I had no idea how to do custom cars and such, and a friend of mine (Davey Allison fan) made custom cars for both he and I.. I got the #3, cause that's always been my man! One of the best Christmas presents I ever got, right there! :) Been running the #3 here since then, and plan on staying in that car!

I tend to look at this like the #28 car.. That's still on the track, with the same number AND paint as when Davey was driving it, and I don't care who's in the car, I *know* who's car it really is! I feel the same way about seeing Dale's black #3 on the track, even tho Richard Childress has already said that he'd never put another black #3 GM Goodwrench car on the track.. I'd rather see the car, reminding me of all the good races I'd seen it in!

There's a difference. Davey didn't die in the car. He died because he was an idiot and tried to fly a helicopter he had no business flying. Dale died in "the race" in a car that where he was the master, on the track that he had mastered, helping his son and best friend compete for the victory. I replaced the black #3 with the pink K-2 car. It's still not a race without Dale. BTW, I wasn't a fan of Dale and I live in Birmingham and grew up as a Bobby Allison fan.
