Smokey at Bristol

Hi, Please don't flame me for driving under the influence, but... Was working on a setup at Bristol using the 1.36-M version of multi, and began seeing smoke accumulate on the track. At first there wasn't much, but then it began to accumulate in the exits of T2 and T4, and a trail along the walls formed, especially on the back straight. Apparently, it was from my car, 'cause it followed the line that I was taking. Just little puffs of smoke that hung around for a long time. Saw it during a couple of sessions, but haven't seen it since. Perhaps Talladega isn't the only Hawaii track that is haunted! Anyone know, is this an anomoly or a feature?

I've had this happen before. In fact, it once happened in an online race at Martinsville and my frame rate just kept getting worse and worse as the race went on. The amazing thing was the size of the replay file after the race. With only a handful of cars, the replay file was something like 22MB for a 25 lap race.

Try changing carsets.... It is a carset problem. I had this happen at other tracks, changed carsets and it went away.
