RASCAR Richmond race recap after rule change

RASCAR drivers praised a race at Richmond following a rule change, noting a 72-lap green-flag run and a dominant win by Tim. Some ran out of fuel during the long green run, and EldredP posted results online. Participants remarked that the quiet thread showed good races drew no criticism.

Yeah, saw that in the replay John. I knew the car felt really tight after damage but I didn't know it was because they took the whole hood off lol. And that long run really helped me save my tires as well. -- Tim White www.intracmotorsports.com "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Even though I got discoe'd with about 18 laps remaining I had a good time. Those 72 laps were fun. Even moving over and letting guys by was, well, kinda fun. Does anyone know how many continuous green laps we've done in each race? We need a stats page. ZZ

That 72 lap run killed some of us. I had not pitted the whole race and finally had to pit under green when I ran out of gas (as did several others). I have not had any luck the last 3 races. No one to blame but myself, just the wrong gamble on my part. After running behind Tim in practice I figured the ONLY way I was going to be able to beat him was through pit strategy. My goal was to try and keep track postition for most of the race in order not to get caught up in any wrecks and to get off pit sequence with Tim and anyone else that was running good and hopefully get down to the end with relatively good track position and much fresher tires. If just one of you guys could have self spun on about lap 70 of the 72 lap green run it sure woulda helped me out. Anyway, the fastest guy won so I guess it worked out the way it was supposed to. Congrats again to Tim. Brian Oster On Sat, 07 Sep 2002 22:44:32 GMT, John Simmons <[email hidden]> wrote:

Ya, much better than the busch race. But watching the cup race, it pretty much mirrored our race. Lots of cautions at the beggining with a long green run at the end. Brian Oster On Sun, 08 Sep 2002 03:40:55 GMT, "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I spun out and knocked my wheel off during the green but didnt bring out a caution.

Notice how f**ken quiet this RASCAR race thread is. :-) Just like always. When we have a good race, it gets conveniently overlooked by critics.
