Did some ranked racing to get my name on the Raceserver list...made it up to the 380's but last I checked I'm around 600. The biggest problem is getting collected. Two Tally races are a perfect example. Race one. I'm humming along in the draft. I notice one car ahead is very antsy and I try to stay away from him. He's several cars ahead so not too much of a problem. But then he comes together with another car and the smoke fills the screen. I stay high and crowd the wall expecting them to both slide down...nope..Bang...Limped back to the pits and fixed the damage, cruised 3 or 4 laps down and picked up places as folks disconected. Ended up like 6th. Next race...another jitterbug ahead....2nd lap he collects somebody and they both run up to the wall on the back straight. My drafting partner and I both head low, I mean REALLY low...almost to the grass. Just as I think I'm pretty clever the jitterbug bounces off the outside wall and comes completely across the track and NAILS me...So the Raceserver thinks I'm a complete jerk getting into collisions every race...dagnubbit... dave henrie(sorry for the language) :>

Hey Dave, You take your chances with Talladega. If you can avoid the carnage, you can come out ahead. Dean (Decawi) Dave Henrie wrote in message <[email hidden]>...
