Yo, Ed Martin!

Ed, Please tell Adam to MAKE SURE that when Tally gets redone, if drivers try and drive below the white line, they will get punted into the wall at 190+ mph!!! It is ridiculous the lines people take, no matter how unrealistic! There is no safe way around the track, the real drivers can't run those lines and we shouldn't be able to either. my 2 cents. Todd

Taladega is a seriously flawed track which will be corrected in NASCAR 2. In over 100 races at Taladega I have observed the following. 1. 10% of the cars will be out at the start because someone didn't already have the accelerator down when the green flag dropped. 2. Another 10% to 20% will be taken out entering the back straight because of the bottleneck coming off the turn. 3. Another 10 to 30% will be taken out coming off the back straight because everyone is going 200 mph and trying to get the bottom line. 4. The remaining cars have approximately two seconds to get in single file before entering the tri-oval and there just ain't no way no how. Scratch another 15% of the cars. 5. Scratch another 10% trying to go through the tri-oval two wide. 6. Scratch another 10% who make it through but run head on into those who didn't. 7. At this point the field has narrowed to 10 to 12 cars and we can go racing. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chuck Stuart - Mesquite TX USA VBTrace 96 is a runtime Procedure Trace, XRef, Debug, Profiler and much more.
