Was going (all things, such as none of the default setups suiting me, considered) really well on my 2nd favourite track in the original game as well!! ;-( Jan. =---

I really had a good time at this race. First off, I've never managed to finish one with the engine running. I didn't _officially_ finish this one because my back was killing me, I had just got a penalty for doing 46mph in the pits, and I could not improve my position so I parked it. I was really impressed by the give-and-take by everyone, especially by slower cars when faster cars approached at the turn entry. while I do believe running with yellows off was the right thing to do, and I voted yes on it, I won't do it again. It killed my chances. I got grabbed by the wall glue, and unfortunately Neil was too close to me to avoid. It set us both back with no chance of recovery because yellows were off. Good job everyone! -Larry David G Fisher wrote:

Sorry for getting into you Larry. I was fast, but I missed the first 48 laps so I was trying to stay out of everyone's way. When you came up on me with new tires, I couldn't figure out which way you were gonna go, and we wound up in the same space. There was a lot of good racing on a tough track where new tires are a lot faster than worn tires, I was impressed with everyone's driving. James aka..bluestringer

Yeah, those present were really switched on... we would have gotten away with leaving yellows on, I think. Even as it was, I really enjoyed myself until I was forced to retire. These past few RASCAR races have been some of the most satisfying online stock car racing experiences I've had in a long time. Jan. =---
