BGN driver Joe Bessie was fined $2,000 for throwing his helmet at (or
rather, INTO) Dale Shaw's race car last Friday night. Can you believe
there's actually a RULE that covers this ? LOL I figured just
unsportsmanlike conduct or something, but the actual rule reads thusly:

 Section 12, Rule 4, Article A in the NASCAR Busch Series, Grand
National Division Rule Book: Actions detrimental to auto racing-
Throwing helmet at a competitor's car.

Amusing that this happens often enough to warrant its own rule...hehehe
I figured I'd write that one down...and maybe everytime they fine
someone, I'll write those down, too...maybe over the next few years,
I'll collect a Whole rule book ;)

hehehe, it WOULD be nice to randomly see a driver in a crash get out of
his car and get in someone's face, wouldn't it... just like in the real
world.... LOL -or when you take someone out, ten laps later, they return
the favor....

That's exactly what I'd like the AI to try to do! It's so easy at times to
just nudge the AI outta the way (little tap to the rear!)...I'd love them
to come outta the pits and come after me! that would be great!


laps later, they return

Has anyone tried maxing out aggressiveness in the drivers' info?
I maxed out Marcis & Shephard, and they raced me REAL HARD !!
Haven't tried maxing all drivers yet.

While I'm thinking of stuff like this, has anyone gone into the
trackname.txt & changed to AI pit window to 100 laps ?  Do they run
out of gas, or keep going ?
