Last night while playing NASCAR2, the car started slowing down on different parts of the tracks. Not on just one track, but a couple. And on these parts of the tracks when I want to accelerate, it just takes a little bit before it starts to speed up. Basically, it is just plain sluggish on certain parts of the tracks. Anyone else had this problem? Thanks Scooter

I haven't played N2 but it sounds like a controller problem - I've had similar on other games. You can tell by going into a calibration option on any game and seeing if the pointer is steady. If it spikes a lot it's probably a dirty or faulty (ie old) potentiometer. Try cleaning the pots on your controller with an electronics cleaning agent (apparently not WD40). Otherwise try relacing the pots if you can get at them. > Last night while playing NASCAR2, the car started slowing down on different > parts of the tracks. Not on just one track, but a couple.
