Talladega Woes and ratings

Please people of the love of all things Holy, try racing in the higher skill level races if you can. In one of the races last night, 3/4 of us were skill level (2) and up, the rest were (0). That meant we could have had at least 20-25 of us racing a (2)-(15) race, but no one would go for it. I agree with you Thomas, last night was it for me for awhile as well. I'll continue to log on some nights though, but unless I can get a (1)-(15) or better race going I'm not racing. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/ Hawaii Network UserName: Buschwick (4) and frustrated

There are definitely more people out there that are a skill level 3 or higher. It's the LD that's in the way, for most. ( I shouldn't complain. I live 25 miles outside of Boston. LD under $2.50 an hour ) Time is my problem. I usually have enough time to run 5 or 6 races during the week. If I see you guys nominating a 'Dega race, skill 2 or 3, I'll be there. Can we get enough people together to run a Series Race? Don Turcotte Username: DonT

I would like to try a higher level but I can't seem to advance. I logged in on Monday morning to see what my updated rating was (level 4). Since no one else was on I logged out. I logged in later that night and my level was kicked back down to 0. I somehow went from level 4 to level 0 without running a single race! I don't know what the deal is but I am seriously thinking of giving the whole thing a rest. I hope someone keeps this NG updated as to whether some of the other level 0 drivers stop playing bumper cars. There are plenty of very good L0 drivers out there be enough for the demo derby types to get enough practice to improve. I'm getting tired of hearing "sorry" before the race even starts. Too bad there are no injuries. Dan

ya know Don .. you could probably make a nice piece of change simply by renting out rooms to Hawaii ***s :) BYOPC
