Hi Michael: To change the number of qualifying laps for a given track, do the following: 1. Go into the the subdirectory for the track you want to change. For example, to change Atlanta, " cd nascar/tracks/atlanta". 2. Using the DOS text editor, edit the file "Atlanta.txt". There is a line in this file that starts with "QUAL" followed by two numbers. I can't remember what the first number means, but the second number determines the number of qualifying laps. In the Atlanta file, I believe the number that is in there is "1", so to have a two lap qualifying run, change this number to "2", save the file, and exit. 3. You will have to repeat this for each track to wish to change. I think that Talladega is the only track that comes pre-set for a two lap qualifying run. This should do it for you.

Yes, that's true, but it's not the only one that the "Big Boys" make two lap runs on. All the short tracks have two-lap qualifying, as well as C***te. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pat Campbell Go #6, #94 Huntsville, AL The Auburn Baseball Tigers--Regular Season SEC West Division Champs! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
