Well, I've turned in a lap of 15.759 seconds at Bristol and have been
able to qualify on or near the pole at as high as 98% opponent
strength. However, I've discovered a serious problem with the AI at
the track. You simply cannot race back to the line on cautions.
Basically, the AI cars in front of me tend to brake on a dime once
they have crossed the line and do not allow room for those behind them
who are racing for position. I have no choice but to yield
position(s) to the driver(s) behind me and slow way down in order to
avoid a collision. Otherwise, there is a huge wreck, comlete with a
blown engine.
Other than this apparent bug, Bristol continues to be one of my
favorite tracks and I've been fairly *** there. I can even run
up front with a damaged rear and fenders.

I've found one other slightly annoying thing about Bristol. Many times I've
ended up being passed both high and low in the corners. Trust me, Three wide
doesn't usually work there :)

Are you kidding ? This is great. Compared to the old days when the AI
cars just wouldn't pass - I am grinning ear to ear when they pass me on
both sides. If you run a good line and are up to speed they won't pass you
like that. I wish I could get them to pass me both high and low at
Talladega. /THansen
