I would like to say that I enjoyed my first race with you guys. I was doing ok there for a while, just hanging back and trying to stay out of trouble. Got caught up in a couple of incidents, but was still doing ok, then I spun all by myself out of turn 2 and caused a mess, sorry about that, guess I was too excited about being in the top 5 at the time. Looking foreward to the next race. Thanks. bluestringer

As soon as the patch and PWF 'BGN' mod is released - I plan on setting up a RASCAR 'Busch Grand National' series. The races will be held on weeknights - making this a european series only. Applications welcomed. I want more green flag racing so I reserve the right to turn entries down. I'm too tired of racing being a pace car each saturday night. -- ed_ http://rascar.racesimcentral.com ----------------------------------------------- $10 says Petter Solberg wins the 2003 WRC

Should be fun, wish I could join. If someone else plans on setting up a RASCAR BGN or CTS server in the states please put my name down.

Calm down Ed. There were lots of yellows, chattering during yellows, chattering during green, pile driving, some warping, and you even wrecked out by yourself. I knew that there were going to be a lot of wrecks at this slick-at-the-beginning-of -the-run track, so I just ran at the rear the whole race and tried not to hit your guys when you wrecked. The moderate damage allowed lots of people to stay out and be competitive including myself after hitting JSimmons, BFarmer, and a couple of others. Had there been regular damage, the newbies and a couple of veterens would have been eliminated, and then you would have seen some long green flag runs with some pitting. You are a great resource and provide lots of good suggestions in this league, but I'm going to have to serve some cheese with that wine. :)

long > green flag runs with some pitting. Even with moderate damage myself and 39(jsterner) got hosed by the damage and the tendency for the cars to flip to easily. Early in the race 50 drove straight down onto the apron in T3 and then spun up into 39 who then bounced up into me sending us both into the wall and me upside down. No direct contact with the nose of my car, but it was pouring out the black smoke when I came to a rest against the wall. My day and jsterner's day was done. Of course 50 received no damage and continued on. Frustrating, but just one of them racing deals. Better luck next week. Kyle

I think you know I race clean, if you remember that far back, and I'd certainly be up for it if it works with my schedule. Jason

When the back started the slide, I tried to continue toward the apron to stay out of the way and not cause "the big one". My bad regardless, because I did start that little ruckus, but not because of inferior driving. I ran in the top five for practice and warm-up with no problems. I can not explain why my car came around twice during the race, for no apparent reason. And I doubt anyone feels more like an ass than I do for causing a wreck. I would rather crash myself and end my race than hit someone else. Especially with being a new driver to RASCAR. I do apologize for your misfortune, and promise to do my best of my ability in the following races. Dave (KnektR#50).

During practice and warmups, I drove the same line alone and with other cars with no problems. Later in the race I went a lap down and raced around the leaders for my lap back. With new tires on a restart, racing hard and no problems. After screwing the pooch on the lap one wall shot, I really took it easy after that and still spun for no apparent reason later. After the deal with Kyle, I quit taking it easy on the starts and ceased to have any problems. I would say that with the fast setup, you can take it a little too easy on cold tires. I do apologize for anyone damaged in either of my spins. As I stated earlier, it does chap my ass to screw someone else out of a good race. Dave (KnektR#50)

Out of curiosity, were do you live Ed? Brian Oster

I dont know yet Dan - but it will probably in the early part of the week - Monday to wednesday - and starting around 8-9:00pm CET (that's 2-3:00pm EST) -- ed_ "Bamadano" <[email hidden]> skrev i melding news:[email hidden]... > >I work night shifts, so this would actually be a good time for me <snip> > > What time Ed? > Dan > >

Thanks Ed. That would be a little late for me. I usually hit the sack aroung 2:00 EST. Oh well :( Dan

Are the BGN or CTS cars actually less performant (i.e. more stick per hp/easier to drive) than the Cup cars? -If so it might be a good idea to switch over for RASCAR too. Jan. =---

S'pose I could skip the after-work errands in the morning and go to sleep earlier to get some racing in. Jason

No big deal Dave, I've been there too :-) Jerry

Count me in Ed. Perfect if it starts at 2000-2100 CET, then it's 99% certain that the kid is unconscious in bed and I'll be home free to race :) /Matt (also Norway) "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> skrev i melding news:3f10fd7b$[email hidden]... > I dont know yet Dan - but it will probably in the early part of the week - > Monday to wednesday - and starting around 8-9:00pm CET (that's 2-3:00pmEST)
