Second number is the month (1=January, etc) Third number is the day Fourth number is whether or not it's the first or second time the track has been run during the season (0=first ie Daytona 500, 1=second ie Pepsi 400) Fifth is whether it's a night or day race (1=night race) Sixth number is the number of laps for a 100% race. -- ----------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten http://members.tripod.com/~morganv/ -----------------------------------

What do all the others mean? I have recently added Daytona as the 31st race using: 31 10 3 0 0 I have seen other people do it different ways. Besides the order in the calander what is the difference? Thanks for any light you could shed on this one for me. -- james Go #7, #66, #20, #24, #36 ROTY #8 Keep it *** side down. *To reply slow down my e-mail address.*

The 4th number denotes the first or second race (0 or 1) at the track during a season and determines which temperature range from the track.txt is used (TEMP1 or TEMP2). Eric

This is correct. The restrictor plate is added and removed in the track.txt file. If memory servers it is the first number in the "speedway" line.
