For those of you who have been having problems getting the handle on road courses, here is one easy tip that will improve your experience quickly... When you go out to practice the road courses, set car damage to "off" in the options menu. By doing this, you can get lots of experience quickly, by not having to restart every 5 seconds, or taking corners easy to avoid damaging the car. When I first tried Watkins Glen, after about 10 laps I was starting to get a real "feel" for the braking points, speed in the corners, ect. If you do it the hard way...you're gonna spend alot of time just picking the pieces of the car off the wall... This is also not to mention that you will get alot more lap time with hot tires. This easy formula can be applied to all the NASCAR tracks, but is most effective for the road courses. Then after you've ran enough laps to start feeling comfortable with the track, set the damage to "on", and you'll be surprised at how little you trash the car! Hope this helps.... ??Jan Kohl?? **Mad Yanks Racing Team** Computer Systems Programmer USAF Air-Ground Operations School Hurlburt Field, FL

Thank you ThighMaster .... :) Also try cranking down the RELS is track.txt so you won't get ran over by the competetion. Tuck in behind one, get a schoolin' on the line, and eak up the RELS til you're at 100
