Teen's NASCAR 3 Talladega online challenge

A 15-year-old challenged everyone to an online NASCAR 3 race at Talladega with cautions off and fixed setups. Several replied that winning at Talladega is not a real test and asked for cautions or a harder track, which drew a defence from James Wohlever against discouraging newcomers.

Tracey, Cautions are a part of racing. And the ability to setup a car are part of N3. Turn on the cautions and open the setups and maybe I'll join you. No offence intended, but winning the AI at Talladega at 100% is not a real feat. Talladega is not a track that really test's a driver in my opinion. Let me know when you can beat the AI at another track that requires some driving (New Hampshire, Richmond, etc). What timezone are you in?

With cautions turned off, it's merely a test of a person's qualifying ability. You qualify in front of the early mess and you'll finish well, maybe even win (if you survive.) Bump it up to 50% and turn the yellows on and I might join you for a real race. I don't even care if it's fixed or open, just make it a race. Mike Mabrey

Whoooptee FRICKIN dooo!!! Hey, lookie here, I can't see real well, is that Tony Stewart over there? You'll have lots of time to race N3 at 'Dega when you're living in a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!! <<end Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker imitation>> Seriously, Dega is a fricking easy track, and N3 a relatively easy game...especially if you run the fixed setups (crap) and no yellows... Make it GPL at Zandy and then I might take you on...

One quick question Tracey, which version of N3 will we be using Saturday 1.0 (original) or 1.1 (patched) ? I just spent 3 days trying the patched version and have now switched back to the original version - few things I didn't like about it. Any way - I'll see ya on Saturday JCook For the flamers - Shouldn't you be off racing somewhere? He was challenging those of us that like to race - to a race. (Pretty Darn Simple) I don't think he meant that Dega was a challenging track, tho for some it can be. I know several people that cant make a Dega set-up to save their hide. And after running many Dega races on-line why is it that..... 1) Why is it that after 2 laps of a 30 lap race 25% of the cars are OFF the track to damaged to continue? 2) Why is it that every time someone uses the pace lap - 1/2 the field has damage before the Green Flag drops? 3) Why is it 1/2 the field Q's around 200 and the other half around 194 4) Why is it that every time I go on-line to race, there are numerous Dega races listed and hardly anything else? 5) Why is it that after a Dega race, there are only a few cars on the lead lap and the rest are 1 to 5 laps down, if they are running at all? You want a challenge? From what I've seen, just finishing a Dega race un-damaged and in the lead lap is a challenge!
Trace... are you familiar with the term "flame bait"?? -Let it slide... When the flag drops the bullshit stops, talk is cheap, sour grapes, etc... Anyone not willing to put their car where their mouth is, is not worth spending energy on. Keep enjoying your driving and racing. The rest will follow.
