Please someone stop the degaheads on hawaii!!!! Close the track and make these people learn to race some other tracks!!!! It gets frustrating when everytime you log in you see 4 or 5 Degas', usually with one or two waiting on the server. So the skilled drivers (who know how to use a thing called a brake) are given the choice of Dega wreckfests with a bunch of Skill level 0's or racin in tiny fields!!! If you are a degahead, or know someone who is, Get some help you will be happier in the long run! Do you honestly think that the NRL is goin to just race Dega!! Please :-( Cheers, Eric JUST SAY NO TO TALLADEGA!!!!

Are you saying that you want all the unskilled drivers racing with you at other tracks? Sure, it would increase the fields, but would be just the same 'wreckfest' There is always going be a lot more unskilled than skilled. And you should be glad there IS a track like dega, so you can avoid them and just race with the better drivers at the numerous other tracks. As to saying they should go learn other tracks. I'm sure lots are. I am. I spend alot of time offline trying to get up to speed on the other tracks, and I'm slowly working my way up, but right now Dega is the only track I am competitive. Not everyone has had the game for years. I just got it 2 months ago.

My feeling is that Papyrus should consider a limiter on the number of Talladega races that can be going at once, so that there is bandwidth for other races. I, too, find it annoying when 5 out of the 6 races are Talladega. Randy

I think the point of the previous post was that sometimes there is 5 or 6 Dega races in progress at one time and "we" have to wait on the server. As far as the unskilled drivers racing with "us" at the other tracks, that can be fixed with a minimum skill level being specified when the race is nominated. Personally, I have no problem with people racing Dega over and over and over, thats their business. However, I think it will hurt them in the long run by not having much experience at the various tracks, but again, thats their business. -------------- Michael Kirton
