Attention Jim Sokoloff

Jim... let me ask you this.... If I were to run a race at Richmond at night compared to day with the track conditions being the same... would tire wear also be the same? I guess what I'm really trying to find out is...... is racing at night compared to racing during the day strictly a cosmetic feature (night time scenery)? Thanks

The track.txt files for the day and night versions are identical, so it would seem as though the tracks would behave the same. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

I answered this further up (when you asked in the RANDOM PIT STALLS thread)... Those interested in the answer can find it there... ---Jim

Charlie: I ain't Jim, but my times sure are different at C***te, day and night... Regards, Mark

Are you running both under the same conditions (temperature and wind)? The track.txt files are identical, so both versions should drive the same. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

Nope, running with random weather, so it's probably colder at night...

Just curious, are your frame rates any difference between the day and night race. If so this may account for the differences you see in the two. -- **************************** Michael E.
