N2 time in pits

It says in the manual that if you are getting repaired and hit enter to stop reparis you will idmetiatly be allowed to leave my pit. It usally takes between 15 or twenty seconds for it to let me go. The same thing happens if I have damage and just get a tire change. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Thanks, David

First I think you must have the F9 pit window open for the Enter key to stop repairs. Also, the crew may take a few seconds to finish the repairs they were working on. If your "wheel wells" are damamged the pit crew MUST do some repairs to get the tire off and make sure there is no sheet metal rubbing when they replace the tires. So if you are pitting with a damaged wheel or wheel wells, even if you have the Do No Repair selected the pit crew will spend the necessary time it takes to get the wheel off and make your car safe. -- **************************** Michael E.

says... Because sometimes, like in real life, they have to repair part of the wheelwell to get the tire on/off. Also, if they are in the middle of a repair, they finish what they were working on. -- Mike's Nascar World http://www.netins.net/showcase/mpete/nascar.html Stop on by, what can it hurt?

Right! You can save yourself some time by going to the tire screen (F5) and hitting enter to turn off all tire changes. The crew will then change only the damaged tire and do whatever work is necessary to make the car driveable. You can then pull out of the pits, come back around, and do the full 4-tire change, get more damage repaired, etc. If you do get 4 tires changed on the first stop, and elect to come back in to get damage fixed on the next lap, make sure to change the F5 screen so that the crew doesn't waste time changing all 4 tires again.

I think this is due to the fact that when you press enter they FINISH fixing what they're currently working on, and then let you go. I'm not sure if this will work, but try telling them to not work on the car before you stop. Also, it may just take them longer to work on a bent up car (with bent wheel wells, etc.) Hope this helps!
