Bruce... hang on, I don't know if Eldred can change it on the fly, but I'll mention it. Jan. =---

Thanks for your help Jan but no worries; by the time I came back and read this half-an-hour had elapsed. :) Hopefully I'll be allowed to play in their yard next time. :) Bruce.

I'm not THAT bad!!! :D In fact, with my trusty old Gravis I was able to run a twenty-lap practice yesterday at Michigan keeping in the mid 38's for the session.

Shame Bruce, we had great fun without you! ;-) Hope you will be able to race with us next time. To all others: great, clean racing by all of you. For me, it was the best RASCAR race yet, and also the first I managed to finish in the top ten. Congrats to Brian & thanks to Dave & Jan for their patience while stuck behind me.

I know they were trying to get you in during practice.You missed a good race actually. It sounded like most everyone really enjoyed that one. I had some hood damage which made me a bit slow on the straights, but I still enjoyed it. Michigan is an excellent track in N2003. I hope the replay gets uploaded soon so I can have a closer look at that one. I was disco'd with a handful of laps to go so I couldn't save the replay myself. David G Fisher

No worries on that score, David. My family won't starve because I missed out on any prize money! :D What is "Sonoma"? Is that the old Sears Point track (Infineon, or whatever Star Trek name it's called now?) Bruce.

I sent the official email to Eldred. Were you logged onto Sierra with the correct Sierra ID? It's supposed to be "brucek". I think you've logged onto my practice server successfully, but Eldred runs the race server.

The schedule should say "Sears Point or "Infineon" since almost nobody knows it's in Sonoma.

I certainly was, John. Exactly that ID and in all in lower case, as you've indicated (if that makes any difference). Bruce.

Then why does the schedule show it as "Sonoma"? Incidentally, who is responsible for keeping the info on the RASCAR site updated? It still shows the "next race" as being Pocono! Bruce.

You weren't holding me up. I was just trying to hang on in your draft. Whenever I pulled out of it to pass, my damaged car just didn't quite have enough to make a pass or to take turns drafting in front. It actually might of been me holding up Jan for awhile though while I was trying to find a way past. I'll have a look at the replay when it's posted. David G Fisher

Uwe, No worries.........I'm sure there'll be further opportunities. I dropped into a Michigan casual pickup race - 30 laps - and 30+ entrants. I qualified 22nd. Started the race and within fifteen seconds my race was effectively over due to some bloke planting his foot as soon as the green was indicated and spinning across the track, demolishing several cars in the process. (These things certainly take off when bumped whilst on-line, don't they?!) So I'm sitting on the bottom of the track, unable to move, with smoke pouring out of my car, and someone comes up behind at the speed of sound, plunges into the space where my back seat would normally sit, and then abuses me with every four-letter word known in the English-speaking world. I have creatures crawling through my compost heap which have higher IQ's than some of these cretins, fair dinkum. Bruce.

Not really Dave; it was always going to be a case of waiting until that knot of cars untied a bit before I could make any real gain. And even so, I still had to hold you off while I plotted my attack on Uwe. Apologies for lifting a bit too much when I was really low in T3-T4 (I think), BTW. I saw you check up into "the gray" which really lost you a substantial amount of ground. Sorry about that, just second guessed Uwe a bit too much. My fault entirely. I will agree with the general sentiment, though: a very good race. Jan. =---

I have a feeling he did just that Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

Excellent Race. I had two strategies, which were intertwined. Only one stop, and stay up front away from trouble. It mostly worked out. I made a calculation error and stopped 7 laps later than I should have. That cost me 4 seconds on the track I was unable to make up because I ended up on my own with no draft. I NEVER expected us to go so many laps green, especially all the way to the end! I'm happy with 4th though :) -Larry "Uwe hoover Schuerkamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

As far as I'm concerned, Nascar can call them whatever commercialized name they want. To me, it's always going to be "Sears Point" and "Charlotte". -Larry "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Remember last year when Humpy threatened to tow the Fox Nascar broadcast trailer if they kept calling the track Charllotte? You should see the name used for last years Laguna Seca Champcar race. It was something like the Bridgestone Grand Prix of Monterey Featuring the Shell 300 at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Monterey, California USA. The track owners are going for whatever bucks they can scam. IT's a shame that the tracks like Charlotte totally replace the traditional track name...I would liked to have seen something like Charlotte-Lowes or Lowes at Charlotte. dave henrie

Eldred, are you still using DeMONS? If so, are you aware that there's a master invite list for the program, and a host-specific list for each configured host? I enter names in the master list (since I only have to worry about RASCAR) and then import the names into the host list.

Try using steering assistance set to 100 and see if the car doesn't handle a lot better. It's got to be your wheel setup that makes the car hard to drive. Michigan is one of the tracks where the car handles very well. It doesn't matter what settings you use to get the car to feel right. It's supposed to feel like a race car (not a piece of junk), and if you have to use one of those assistance settings with your wheel setup to get it to do so, then go ahead. David G Fisher
