I know ALOT of people will disagree with me, but I like the fact there is no way to save a race on NASCAR2. B-4 when I raced I was hitting everything, well, I wasnt really hitting EVERYTHING but I was trying some gutsy moves cause I knew if I screwed up that I could just start up again from the last yellow flag- which is where I saved the race. NOW in N2, Im racing more patient and better because Ive found out that it sux to go the distance then crash and have it all end; in the end making me NOT try such a stupid outside pass at Darlington the next race. In fact, has it made anyone else out there race better?? When I first got NASCAR2, I did not test or race random races, I jumped right into a season, KNOWING I wasnt going to do good. And I didnt. Because I was not able to save a race, I got 16 DNF's in that season, and only 3 top 5's, with one win. In my next season, after finding out that I took the save race option in N1 for granted, I raced more patiently and got 4 DNF's, which is better than 16; Duh. So in the end, not being able to save a race is a good thing, it makes it more challening. BUT, it does suck to race a long distance and all of a sudden get a phone call and have to quit to go do something, LOSING the whole race. OH WELL. So, if Papyrus does give a save race option in the patch, Ill take it. But if they dont, dont cry about- it aint that bad. Joe

Point well taken. I really want the ability to randomize after qualification to get some of the faster cars starting near the back. Please give us back a save race weekend after each session - if not during the race itself. When the fast cars all start up front - it takes away the ability to hook up with a fast car and race to the front (yep - you guessed it - I qualify mid pack or near the rear). /THansen
