While racing at Watkins Glen, I had a strange crash. WG is my worst track and against 100% opponents I've never finished a race. Anyway, my race had been a disaster and I was in last ( I didn't repair my car damage because I didn't care ). So the 38th place car was coming up to lap me. I wasn't in a good mood so I bumped him as we were coming up to the interlube ( they call it that, right? ), so I saw him spinning off while I cut across the tough turn. Then,*** Trickle ( the guy I bumped ) appeared in my rear view mirror in a blur and I found myelf doing 15 spins and hitting the wall and getting my rear sheared off. While watching the replay, it showed DT spining sideways when he picked up TREMENDOUS speed ( And he's still sideways ) and then he smacked me sending me spinning. Talk about revenge. Anyway, has this happened to anyone else? I've got the replay for anyone who wants it, since it's real hard to explain without pictures. -- B.J. "Macarena Hater" Vosti Dole/Kemp in '96!

What you described sometimes happens when the AI lap files are missing or errant. Charlie Heath Papyrus Design Group

I have had this happen at quite a few tracks. Atlanta seems to be the worst. Basically it's like Russian Roulette. How do you correct AI lap files ? -- Andy Houghton Lebanon, NH
