I'm thinking of moving the races from 3 days apart to 2 days apart. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Pontiac Excitement 400 Predictions from the Expert Panel:
Rupen Foria Jeeber D Mack has always run well at short tracks and will win today. Darrell Waltrip Chris Snow will head to victory lane and improve on his FOFC record for wins. Conan O'Brien Billy Bushinhimer starting from the outside pole will find victory lane. John Locke Kyle Kappe, who starts 11th, has had hard luck in the first two races this season but gets on track today. |

Looks like it will be another bad week at the track for my team.

I can't add more drivers right now without having to get rid of ones already in the game. Since I started the season with 35 I can't go above that. I added Ron Towers to the game recently because I got rid of one of my own drivers and added him. But, you will have a spot reserved for you in the next season which will start right after this one. The current season ends on March 19. |

The race was dominated by a few drivers. Early on it was Billy Bushinhimer, then Telle Snow and C.R. Anderson took turns leading. After a while though it became clear that there were two cars better than the rest. Chris Snow took the lead and slowly began picking off car after car. Before long, only one other car was on the lead lap, Jobu Mack. With 72 laps left, Jobu Mack took the lead and would never look back. Jobu continues his torrid pace through the first three races by picking up his first career win.

Waht did Golden do to get a DQ?
At first I thought maybe didn't qualify, but he completed 14 laps... So was he disqualified and if so for what? |

Phillips Racing still looks strong in the top 10, but lets hope we can keep it up. |

Ron Towers, who is racing his 1st race, will take home the win. Conan O'Brien It's Craptacular looks strong this weekend and will win. John Locke Why can't Jobu win again? Jobu has looked very impressive this season will get another win. |

In reality? no, in this simulation, yes.
Though I have witnessed a NASCAR race where only 2 drivers finished on the lead lap, so it does happen, just not as regularly as this sim seems to make it seem. |

It used to happen frequently in old school Indy Racing before the idiots screwed up the Cart PPG Indy Racing league...

I've seen a lot more of the entire field getting lapped in this season than any before. That may have to do with running 2003 instead of 2002 now, I'm not really sure. But cars seem to run very strong at times and build up huge leads, but then after pit stops those same cars sometimes fade very quickly and a new car steps up and dominates.

Very tough luck today for Kyle Kappe. He dominated for a long time, then with only 18 laps left he was involved in an accident with some lapped cars that knocked him out of the race. Billy Bushinhimer took over and took the win.

BTW this is a really stupid question, but what game are you using for this sim? I've always wanted a NASCAR game but have never got around to getting one......

Phillips Racing is experiencing some good racing among its drivers with a win from Phillips Bushinhimer and Henderson already this season. Nick Phillips however is not running as strong in his last two races.

Wow I must have been involved in taking out Kyle. That's what he gets for being a UCLA fan!
My drivers must really suck... I'd really like to know why they suck so badly. Other then the first race with Dan was a top 10 they've really just been total suckage..... |

I don't know why they haven't done well. They seem to run well in most practices. But qualifying and during the races they just don't get it done. Also, their are a few drivers, probably 10-15, that are always near the front. They seem to just have better cars than the rest of the field. If you look at the standings which will be up in a minute. The Snows, Phillips Racing and the Mack's take up 8 of the top 10 spots, even though not one of those drivers has any stats the same. I think they've just figured out the right stat set and it's working. And my drivers are 15th and 22nd, and I thought I had this whole stat set thing figured out. And then a lot of it is just luck. Kappe has had a great car most of the year, I think he's actually led more laps than anyone else, yet is 33rd in points. Last edited by cmp : 02-28-2007 at 04:03 PM. |

What happened at AJEMRacing? So much promise and now fading back to mediocrity.
