How good are you NASCAR SIM

I have not had the opportunity to play Hawaii and measure my skills against the best (mostly because I don't want to buy the track pack), so tell me how good you are. What are your best times against the computer, and have you ever won a points championship against the computer. Give me best lap speeds, don't cheat! I have taken the poll at 100% for just about every track except for Watkins Glenn, and I know I am the best at BRISTOL. Bristol poll at 127.xxx, best lap of 128.xxx Taledega poll at 196.xxx and best lap of 198.xxx ( I haven't been able to draft a fast lap because I always take the poll) Weekend Racer. Gotta Lovitt work hard and spend your money racing. Go 24

Well I hate to break it to you, but you're not even close to the best at Bristol. I'm far from the best there as well, but I regularly qualify near 130 and run anywhere from 128's up to 132's during a race. BTW, I've seen races on Hawaii where the winner's average speed for the entire race was over 132 at Bristol. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

What are you racing at? 95% opp strength? I don't even think 127 would get you a poll at 100%. Better keep practicing. CR

> > I know I am the best at BRISTOL. > > Bristol poll at 127.xxx, best lap of 128.xxx The best? I run in the 130s and have to struggle for a top 5. I wanna run in your league! Have witnessed 133s passing me, so you better start gettin on the gas a little earlier commin outta those turns.... daland vetteracer (on hawaii)

For a supposed race fan you should at least learn how to spell Pole!

What a puss! Typing fast not paying attention. I bet you have never made a mistake. I asked for your lap speeds *** (did I spell that right?). Go Big Chief. RACING TAKES BALLS GET OUT OF THE WAY LOSERS

Oh-oh, careful here. Hawaii has a modified track model, and comparing laps between Hawaii and NASCAR may not be 100% valid. However, I think you will find running against 100% computer cars is not a good indication on how you would do against the best of Hawaii. You can download multi.exe and run laps in practice to compare. That would be your best bet to see where you stand. However, you will have to change your setups to maximimze speed with Hawaii.

At Bristol on Hawaii, people are running laps of 134-135. My best is 133.something. Mike

Hawaii uses some "fixes" and your lap times are more accurate (i.e., faster). Many, including myself, turn laps on Hawaii at 133 mph and more. have no idea about Talladega - what version of NASCAR Racing are you using? version 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.21? (it *does* make a difference at Tally). Bristol, non-hawaii, 130s... Go #6 Mark Martin,#16 Ted Musgrave & #99 Jeff Burton - Jack Roush Racing!!

I finally began poppin' 132's at Bristol and thought I was plenty fast...I am, if I turn 'em consistenly. Jump on in and try these guys out - but be prepared to go back to the drawing board; lots of speedsters out there! David Thompson (dglenn)
