RASCAR: Important stuff

At the end of the race, do NOT wreck or stop until you've completed an extra lap. This is from the Sierra forums: "The reason why you want to complete an extra lap is because the race isn't official yet until all cars get the checkered flag. If you win a race and then stop in turn 1...the game feels it is a "wrecked" car and would throw out the caution. Causing a yellow or being involved with the group of cars that caused a yellow earns you an incident."

Good. I've always thought that(wrecking after the flag.) was pretty childish behavior anyway... I didn't know about stopping, though. Maybe it never bit me before because I'm usually one of the last across the line.

Dammit, I've been telling people this ALL along but nooooooo, no one wanted to listen to me :) I hate it when someone smashes into me just for fun after a race is over. Larry "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
