BGN driver Joe Bessie was fined $2,000 for throwing his helmet at (or rather, INTO) Dale Shaw's race car last Friday night. Can you believe there's actually a RULE that covers this ? LOL I figured just unsportsmanlike conduct or something, but the actual rule reads thusly: Section 12, Rule 4, Article A in the NASCAR Busch Series, Grand National Division Rule Book: Actions detrimental to auto racing- Throwing helmet at a competitor's car. Amusing that this happens often enough to warrant its own rule...hehehe I figured I'd write that one down...and maybe everytime they fine someone, I'll write those down, too...maybe over the next few years, I'll collect a Whole rule book ;) Sit down,,Strap in,,Shut up,,Hang on,,Go fast,,Turn left,,Kiss Trophy Girl GGGGGGgoooo #3,,,31,,,28,,,94,,,6,,,5,,,18,,,8,,, Handy^man

hehehe, it WOULD be nice to randomly see a driver in a crash get out of his car and get in someone's face, wouldn't it... just like in the real world.... LOL -or when you take someone out, ten laps later, they return the favor.... -- Sit down,,Strap in,,Shut up,,Hang on,,Go fast,,Turn left,,Kiss Trophy Girl GGGGGGgoooo #3,,,31,,,28,,,94,,,6,,,5,,,18,,,8,,, Handy^man

That's exactly what I'd like the AI to try to do! It's so easy at times to just nudge the AI outta the way (little tap to the rear!)...I'd love them to come outta the pits and come after me! that would be great! laps later, they return

I maxed out Marcis & Shephard, and they raced me REAL HARD !! Haven't tried maxing all drivers yet. While I'm thinking of stuff like this, has anyone gone into the trackname.txt & changed to AI pit window to 100 laps ? Do they run out of gas, or keep going ? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Dave Starr Professional Shop Rat - 32 years in an Auto Plant
