NRO Idea

I have no idea if anything is in the works like this but I feel this would be a nice way to award winners in NRO. Free credit hours to winners of a NRO race, if they have more than 15 drivers or so. The top 5 would get either or both free TEN and NRO hours. Winner gets 5 hours credit. 2nd 3 hours 3rd 2 hours 4th 1 hour 5th 1/2 hour. At least there would be something else to race for in it. Unless they're thinking cash, I always like cash!!! I don't know it would entice me more with some type of kick back. The top dogs would probably end up racing for free most of the time until some newcomer pays their due's to knock them down and catapult them into free racing. Q.B.M.

Yeah, but you better also do this 3 incidents in a single race = 1 day suspension 4 incidents in a single race = 5 day suspension 5 incidents in a single race = 30 day suspension 6 incidents in a single race = permanent expulsion Considering that they are supposed to have the incident reporting system in place for NRO that prevents anyone from receiving more than 1 incident per % of track, I think the suspensions are more important than the purse credit. But credit would be nice. Let's just hope they also boot the hackers off the system on the first offense. The only thing worse than someone who crashes others to win, is someone who cheats to win. They aren't even good enough to be called the scum on the bottom of your racing boot. David Martin

I tend to agree with you on the incidents Dave, the only problem is that you can be hit by someone and recieve and incident. If the system could distinguish between the causing and just being in the wrong place at the wrong time it would be much better.

I think it is possible to do just that. Initial contact is something that can easily be assessed. Noone who gets caught up in an accident should be assessed an incident point, only those involved in the initial contact. Since there is no fair way to assess blame, you must give an incident to both drivers. Penalties would only be assessed after the 3rd incident which means that everyone can race hard and rub fenders, but once you've been in 2 accidents, you should start driving more defensively. Besides normally, after two accidents you aren't in a position to race for the win. There are certain drivers that will always play chicken knowing that the other driver will always back down. It even happens in real life. Of course, written complaints submitted to Papyrus and NASCAR along with a replay could get those drivers off the track. It will always be wise to drive only against those you have respect for and those who have respect for you. David Martin

Something else to consider on this subject; Many times I have seen drivers cause incidents after the initial contact because they feel that they have a better chance of getting through the carnage by keeping the pedal floored. Unfortunately, this more often than not ends up taking out drivers that have slowed down and actually made it past a wreck only to be taken out by someone coming through at full speed. Nothing is worse than clearing an accident only to be clocked from behind by someone doing full speed. (by someone that has also made it through, but now has no control to avoid hitting the cars in front of him/her that are trying to regain speed.) These people also need to be slapped with incidents.
