N3 Online Race

I am going to Host a full length Martinsville race after the real race today. I am going to experiment with this for the rest of the season. My goal is to create as real an atmosphere as we can for these races. This means, Pace on, Yellows on, Damage Arcade, weather random. My server is set up to handle 18 drivers, I currently use Cable connection. Come on and join up and see if we can make this work. We need safe conservative drivers, or the yellows will drive us all mad. Anyway, look for my server on Won.Net under Rick Sweeney after the Marty race today. Thanks Rick

Can I be the #28 Car?? :-) Just kidding... good luck! H-H

Rick... We tried this on TEN.....a bunch. Here's what we found......100% was too long....many guys are already on "probation" with the family....lol.....for watching the whole Winston Cup race....so running another online race for 3 hours....huh...don't think you'll get many "takers." But you will see? When we made the post-WC races 30 or 40% (still plenty of pit stop strategy)...we had full-fields every Sunday. Just a hint! Make it 30-40%.....and I'll join you. TP

Ok, good suggestion. That's what I will do. Thanks Rick

>Make it 30-40%.....and I'll join you. Sounds like you fall into that family probation thing. <G> Andy

Hi Rick, I would like to join your races in N3, but you always have the latency cap set too low for me to join your races.. My pings from Australia, usually vary from 300 to 390, and the races that i have joined so far with that ping level, have not created problems with warping for me or caused problems for others.. It is always good racing against drivers we can trust to do the right thing, as it makes for much better and more professional racing.. Now, if only us enthusiasts from Downunder are allowed to enter some races, we might begin to be able to enjoy N3 on-line.. <G> Cheers, Ron

Ok , Ron will try it. But if connections bad with the larger Latency setting, I will need to re-evaluate my settings. Watch for my Host races and please join. Thanks Rick Sweeney

Well not an excellent experience, but not bad. Once we got rid of the asswipe who felt a need to be a comedian, it got much better. Guys need to learn patience on these longer races. A few thought they could win the race on the first two laps. Yellows plagued us for the first 10 laps, but once things settled down and the hotlappers crashed and left, it was ok. Geez I need a kill button. Five out of 19 drivers lasted the distance. I am going to try this again next week and see how it goes. If I could send just send out a private chat to the drivers in the race who have the good driving and mental attitudes for such an endeavor, we could really have something. Rick
