RASCAR Charlotte night race with one caution

Drivers recapped RASCAR's Charlotte race, won by Don Wilshe after a long battle with grub, with only one caution and some 155 green-flag laps. Jan Verschueren explained his role in the lone caution and drivers apologised for minor contacts. Several praised TeamSpeak voice chat, and Mitch_A posted connection details.

Well, had a good run, but DW just plainly outdrove the grubbat dodge and may hats off to him (showing yall my bald head). Had a good race and only had 1 YELLOW for the whole race. I think some got caught up in a wreck and LTB hit some air and got some damage. Anyway, lots of fun for me and look forward to next week. My arm is tired from all that GREEN flag racing and two green flag pit stops. Just plain awsome!!! grub

Thanks GRUB. I never really thought I would catch you. Your car just seem to rocket for 50 laps. All i could do was watch and follow and try and save some tires, as GAS was never an issue. You killed me on the pitstop! Took me to school... It seemed your car just really slowed the last 15% of each session. Its always great to race RASCAR.

I did ok, finished 6th, another top 10. Are we going to points next season? I got caught up in the wreck, but didn't get much damage. I think I hit #98 when I was trying to avoid, sorry Larry. Yea, it was an awesome race, but my arms sure are hurting. I think we had 155 laps of green. bluestringer

Awesome job guys... excellent run. As co-author of that one and only caution I'd like to take a minute to explain. As I was entering T3, I saw a car get turned up into the wall, so I immediately lifted. As I did the car appeared to recover eventhough I'd seen it hit the wall nose first and continue. Perhaps my disbelief caused me to forget about my own car for a split sec and I got it sideways. As I went to recover from that I either got bumped slightly or stalled the rear wing or someone ducked inside taking my air with him or somesuch as it went completely and I spun down to the inside. I might have been ok if it had just continued off the track, but as the car hit the apron it changed direction and went back up the track, allowing me to get clobbered. Pitted and went back out, but I was a sitting duck, having lost some 20mph off the top end. Anyhow, seeing as we're not able to dial in some mechanical grip to compensate for the lack of rear downforce and it wasn't long before I had a "moment". Anything I did had zero effect on the lazy spin the car went into, then it suddenly snapped back and I ended up parked sideways across the track. I had the F2 view enabled and it showed no one coming up behind, so I just grabbed a gear and attempted to drive to the infield only to see Steve Whitty flash past in front (think I got him slightly, sorry Steve). Anyhow... immediately afterwards I realised it could be interpreted I had to retire due to the two spins rule, so I did in order not to fall foul of it. Good to see you guys *did* have a good one!

>Awesome job guys... excellent run. Yep good race. Gotta admit I was shocked to see ya spin Jan. It never happens :) My bad screwed up Larry's day. I saw him coming up and attempted to move up but caught the wall and came right down in front of him. Great catch by Larry...saw him hit the brakes and upshift...no contact but BS damage to his car. Sorry man. A lot of give and take resulted in a lot of tired arms. First time I've ever had my spotter say after a pit stop "sorry that lugnut just wouldn't go on right I know you'll make it up on the track". Guess he forgot who his driver was. Dan

So there I was watching all this from a prime vantage point; more or less right behind you. I had taken the corner well (for me) and had just passed the point at which I had come back hard on the gas. There it was in front of me, a car in a soft lazy spin to the inside. Luckily for me it was heading off the track and my lntended line would be clear by the time I got there. Time passes. Whoa! What's all this then? His car is backing back up the track!! Time passes Alway wondered what was going through Bobby Allison's mind as he was airborne heading for the catch fence at Daytona. ;o) Elrikk PS. So like is anybody going to come and get my car off the top of this fence ? ;o)
No need to apologize Jan, my spotter said a car stopped on the track as I came out of 4. I spotted you and started going low, then you moved, so I just went even lower.....to the infield. I was off the pace anyway. I got through the disaster on the start/finish line on the yellow, then coming up to turn 1, right near the end of the pits, Mark Seery came straight out across the track and I t-boned him. I had the wheels locked so didn't hit too hard, then I got clouted from behind, have no idea from who, and don't blame them. End result, engine damage. As with Jan, about 20mph off top speed. I could nearly flat foot turn 1!! Anyway, a couple of laps after Jan left, my puter froze,( I hope I didn't take anyone with me) and and to reset. My day over. The practise races were fun though.

I'll have to wait and look at the replay to comment accurately as to what happened to me. Everything happened really fast and I never saved it. As we crossed the finish line, the cars right in front me checked up extremely rapidly - come on guys, retain your speed a little longer and slow more gradually! I had to hit the brakes much harder than I would have liked in order not to overtake. All would have been ok, but for the fact that one of the guys in front spun, forcing me to have to throw the anchor out of the trunk . I braked even harder and this resulted in a punt from behind, sending me into the wall. I was a sitting duck and like Jan, I was able to reverse off safely. On attempting to rejoin the track, I drove forward, steering to the left. The car simply refused to turn at all and I went in a straight line up towards the track. This was when I was hit for the second time. If this was you Steve, I'm very sorry mate. The car simply did not react the way I expected it to do so. There would have been adequate time for me to get going if the car had turned. Big shame about this mess once again. I ran with some damage the whole race but was able to turn reasonable lap times and had a few good dices. Unfortunately the car was eating tyres and wear was much higher for me than in any practice races that I had run throughout the week. I think 8th was as good a result as I could hope for today.

Yep. I don't think my memory is what it used to be but then I can't to be sure. ;o) Elrikk
Great race folks! Although I was suffering from a rather sore throat I simply could not bring myself to park it and head for bed which would have been better for me, but no, this race was too much fun to quit. I really think TeamSpeak is a great addition to the racing experience, and comments from Ed when to "stay high" were really welcome and gave me a good idea what to do. I don't think I could handle the TC stuff on a road course, but it sure makes oval racing much more interesting.

Sorry if it sounded like I was blaming you Mark. Far from it. With all the cars in every direction, it was just one of those things. I know you wouldn't pull back onto the track like that on purpose. Hey, its just a game. I had fun until my puter froze. I think Mitch and I would've ended up battling for position. I came back in but was 12 laps down and decided not to rejoin. steve "Mark Seery" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bmb563$lq9$[email hidden]... > I'll have to wait and look at the replay to comment accurately as to what > happened to me.

What a great race indeed! I got some damage from the caution one first lap... when the yellow came out - I slowed down but, unfortunatly Don didn't - so he nudged me into a spin just before the line... Just a reminder to everyone that we DO NOT race back to the line; when the yellow flies - slow down! :-) A little confusion during the caution, saw me pitting on the last yellow-lap, so i was pretty much in last spot as the green flew. Good thing was that the Westen Auto crew had done great work during my stop and the car didnt feel too bad. (although I had "a moment" shortly after the restart....) The restart went great too even though we had some cars upfront with powerloss - good work giving room guys! This is getting better all the time IMO. My only wish is that I'd pitted earlier the second time around... I streched the fuel for 66-67 laps both times - [ironcly enough] hoping for a caution - but it never happend. As an effect my laps times increased too much and I missed out on 4th. place. - which I spend the majority of the race fighting with Jurjen for. In the end I think he beat me to it by 5 seconds or so.. From what I could see - there were several "battles" like this thruout the field - Great fun! A real tricky thing at Lowe's is how different the car feels on fresh tires. My car was loose as hell in turn 2 on the first few laps after a stop - probably a side-effect of having driven a understeering car for so long - just previously. Kudos to everyone for making such a great race! (Oh... and Don: Don't forget; when the yellow flies - slow down :-) -- ed_

Don I saw that wreck that you were involved in and it was a miracle that you didn't drop a valve or blow up when you hit him. I never fair that lucky. AND, to make matters worse, your car just simply was so consistent even after the wreck. Great driving.

Larry 14 Oct 2003 15:29 UTC↳ reply to grub#51850
Yes, that was REALLY weird! Grub caught the turn 4 wall and bounced out, and I slammed on the brakes. It was close, but I got stopped in time and never touched him. BUT, the damned game gave me front-end damage and I was in hurtsville from that point on. I was ok on new tires, but after 10 laps the handle was gone. After a while I too was re-arranging my RF on the turn-4 wall :( I also noticed a bit of that same, odd "Let's screw with Larry and shove the front end out from underneath him" stuff that I witnessed at Kansas City. Not as bad, but it still happened. I still don't know what this is all about. It is NOT speed dependent. It is NOT corner entry dependent. It just happens out of no where every now and then, and it's almost impossible to save the car from the wall when it does happen. It's like you blow a tire, except the next lap everything is fine again. I had never noticed this until the patch came out. I'm not quite so sure how I got 2 laps down. 1 I understand, but not 2. I must of had to pit one time more than the others due to my air-ball damage. It was a nice race though. This was the first race I've ever had here where I was comfortable passing people in the square-oval. Everyone held their lines nicely, and there were no problems. This place is usually a nightmare for me. -Larry "grub" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Well, had a good run, but DW just plainly outdrove the grubbat dodge andmay > hats off to him (showing yall my bald head).

Its posted on the forum but in short install TS run connect/quick connect type in your Sierrra ID in username and use the IP/port 65.39.161.10:10067 and PW is rascar. Be aware you need to run NR2003 and adjust volumes so you can hear TS over the roar of the motor.

When I had them on N2003 would crash on startup (just after the mountain scene intro) when the TeamSpeak client was active. I also have a headset on order so I am looking forward to tryingt it out next Saturday 8-) It's real fun being able to talk to you fellow RASCAR racers.
