Right, the web site says one thing and I have seen posts here saying another, hence, my confusion. Brian Oster On Tue, 15 Apr 2003 16:14:59 -0400, "David G Fisher" >

The practice server has been corrected to run Daytona. Have a ball.

It would be great if we could turn the damage down to moderate or even off. I'd love to run just one RASCAR SS race where I don't get wrecked from some dumb incident. I hate to criticize ouir group, but we've flat out stunk at the SS races so far and I didn't see any trend towards things getting better at Talladega. Same dumb mistakes were made in technique and strategy as in the first SS race we ran last year. I'd rather there be a large field for the entire race then a small field half way through with a few unfortunates being constantly lapped through no fault of their own, and eventually quitting in disgust.

I'd prefer we use moderate, or turn it off so so many cars aren't taken out of the race due to aero damage from silly mistakes. At least for one race. David G Fisher

I have mixed feelings on this, but I lean toward agreeing. If for no other reason than the hope of getting the stoopid random-damage thing out of the way.

I am against any change for a specific track type. You run the race, take your chances, and complain about the outcome just like the rest of us. In article <EkVna.128914$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...

This doesn't happen on other tracks of course. Changing to moderate damage would go a ways to correct this and provide for a better race for all of us. If the damage model was more realistic than I could maybe understand the reluctance of some to not want to do this for the SS races, but the game is screwed up as it is now. David G Fisher

1) I think (or was at least hoping) that driving with realistic damage would create an atmosphere where everyone KNOWS that the slightest bit of damage would make their car uncompetitive until they pitted again. This should promote better driving, especially in a controlled environment where we don't have to worry about intentioanl wreckers. I think most/all of us make an honest effort to drive clean, but... 2) Shit happens Dave. As much as we'd like it to happen, we all can't have a perfect race every week - EVERYBODY makes mistakes. It's all fine and dandy to bitch and moan, but I honestly don't see how we're any better as drivers at any other kind of track than we are at the supers. It's just that mistakes are amplified at supers because of the importance of the draft. 3) If we lower the damage for supers, we should lower the damage for ALL tracks. I think we're stressing Eldred enough just to remember to start the server, we don't want him to have to remember to change the damage level for a given track as well. :) 4) I personally don't think we should lower the damage level, but I will defer to the majority. We are, afterall, here to have fun.

Just a poke in the ribs to see if you were awake, ol' buddy... :)

I pretty much agree. Again, I would only be for it in respect to getting around the random-damage issue. Larry "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
