The warm-up, and then you have to do TWO qualifying laps. It takes your best time of the 2 as your qual. time. I don't know why it does this. It doesn't do it on any of the other tracks though. This one had me going for a while! :) -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Have: Edward Carter | The Red Hot Chili Peppers Rock!!!| '92 Honda Accord Newport Beach, CA, USA | IndyCar Racing Rules!!! | '95 Corvette ZR-1 White Male | Al Unser Jr. Kicks *** | '95 Suburban 454 4X4 ________________________________________________________________________________ Want: "Love Lone" on KROQ in | NASCAR Racing is cool too! | Vector Avtech WX-3 L.A. at 10:00pm RULES!!| Jeff Gordon And Rusty Wallace | Dodge Viper R.R. and D.D. are cool!| RULE!!! | Ferrari F40

It takes your best time of the 2 : as your qual. time. I don't know why it does this. It doesn't do it : on any of the other tracks though. This one had me going for a while! Talledega is a SuperSpeedway, hence you have to do two qualifying laps, just as the real drivers have to. Of course, if you lift off the throttle when you see the white flag instead of the chequered flag, qualifying isn't your biggest problem.

Try running the second qualifying lap...Remember it's a super speedway. -- ********************************************************************************* Todd's world, home of Bucky the rat, Brewers, Brats, Beer, and Bucks. ********************************************************************************

Rich, Dega has 3 laps for qualifying. 1 warm up followed by a white flag lap then a checkeerd one. Hope this helps. -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% NASCAR Racing by Papyrus, |#44 "The Persuader", Monte Carlo anything else, | Sponsored by S*** Enterprises so far is a JOKE! | Wonder Boy NEVER, #3 Forever!

The reason for two qualifying laps at Talladega, I think, is because the game is trying to simulate restrictor plate racing. With a restrictor plate, it takes 2 laps to get up to speed. This is also why drafting is critical at Talladega. #6 Mark Martin RULES!!
