The real qualifying record at NASCAR was set by Jeff Burton last week at just a bit under 174 mph. I imagine most of us have broken that record in the NASCAR simulate. I think I've seen a record of 183 something at the Papyrus site. And you want them to make the track faster? Dave

Watching the race this weekend, i noticed that the darlington track has been resurfaced, and that the average speeds were up something like 12 mph over the last few years. Can Papyrus or Jed(you god you!) make some kind of patch to reflect this? I find driving on that track particularly annoying. Mike

The problem you're having is just plain old Darlington... the Lady in Black... the track too tough to tame. With the Ace setup alone, your car should have the intestinal fortitude to run laps in the low-mid 173mph range on a full tank of gas. I broke Geoff Bodine's track record of 170.??? (already broken by Jeff Gordon at the time of release) the very first time I ran on the track... after warming up, of course. Nick

high 173 range. Yes, the resurface has helped with new records ( some 20 drivers beat the previous record...or so they announced on ESPN ) but I have noticed through the racing leagues on the 'net that it is possible to even reach 177+ mph qual times. I don't know how, but I've seen it. The best I've accomplished is 173.924. No 177's, but still would be considered a track record in reality. Therefore resurfacing this track would be pointless...if we can already beat REAL times. Bruce

It's possible to do 183 at Darlington. Seen it with my own eyes. MMc

Well, they did "repave" it in version 1.2. With some practice, you can run laps of 175-176 mph (my personal best is 177+), which is higher than the pole speed for this year's TranSouth 400.
