Where does pit row begin?

12 posts by 9 people · 09 Sep 1995 - 20 Sep 1995

: I have been racing for about a month in NASCAR and when at Talladega, I get : nailed exceeding 55 in pit row. I got black flagged twice last night and I : know for sure I didn't speed after my pit so it must have been before. I : start braking and drop below 55 a little before my stall. I am sick of being : black flagged. Depending on how much detail you have, you should be able to see an orange "ball" on a post in the infield. According to the manual, this ball contains a NASCAR official. If you slow to 55 or less before you go past it, you should be okay. Good luck.

I've found that if you turn on 'auto brakeing' in the "driving aids menu" then run a lap and pull into the pits that the car's breaks will slow you down to 55 mph. That should help you find where they start timing you. or
The Nascar game only tracks you when you leave the pits. You may go over 55mph in the pit, but when leaving slow down. Its seems thats what they really look for.

Andy if you don't have that much detail on then how do you find out where it begins and ends? Mike

Mike, As a general rule, you can use the start and end points of the pit wall as a guide to the speed trap range. To be safe, I usually wait until I've passed the pace car's parked position before I accelerate. Mike.

Good luck. : Andy if you don't have that much detail on then how do you find out where : it begins and ends? : Mike I believe it's where the pit wall begins and ends... could be wrong. That's the pit wall separating the pits from the track. Do some experiments and see where you have to slow down... Approach the pits with autobraking on... Your speed should be around 60mph and no more. As soon as your speed slows down, see where you are and determine where the speed limit begins and ends. Don't approach the pits at 190 mph with autobraking on and expect not to get a penalty... it takes time to slow down... Ujjal Bansel

Two soultions: 1. Turn on auto-breaking and floor it into pit lane, when you see your speed decrease, you've found the area where they start timing you. 2. There may be no wall, but there is a grass median, that should makr the spot.

There may be no wall, but there is a grass median, that : should makr the spot. I am the original poster of this subject and I got nailed again at Tal. I had a 13 sec lead over 2nd place car so I took it easy into pit lane. Started braking on the track, got onto the apron and still breaking. Entered the entrance, not past the orange ball yet and was about at 80 MPH. Slowed down and was about 50 when I stepped on the brake hard to enter my stall. Left the pits, was under 55 the whole way out and BINGO got nailed. This is BS. I know I didn't speed exiting, and I am almost sure I didn't entering. What is going on? BTW, auto breaking DOESN'T work for me at Tally. I don't know why, someone sai it is suppose to. I don't see why it shouldn't.
