N2: N.Wilkes AI ?

I just finished a 33% race against 100% opponents at North Wilkesboro. I qualified 24th (like I said else where we will working on qualifying setup next season <g>) and was able to finish 1st some 9 seconds ahead of 2nd. I know I am not that good. What is the consesus on whether the AI are too whimpy at N.Wilkes? I know that I think they are too strong at other short tracks and lowered them a notch in the track.txt file. I'm thinking of upping them at N.Wiles. -- **************************** Michael E.

The AI cars are weaker at the short tracks because of the amount of passing required. You can usually catch the leader hung up behind a backmarker. If you look at the laps that the leaders turn when they aren't stuck in traffic, they're usually pretty competitive.

Oh great thanks alot! I finally won last nite at martinsville (%40 101% opp), I thought it was *MY* driving skill! now your telling me the AI is just easier. My ego just crashed into the wall at 200 mph! (what did I do with those "self-help" books???) ;-)

Damn, and I was just beginning to think that I was that good ;-) Some of this certainly has to do with this, but I also think that the Rels line for some of the tracks are a little out of whack. However, you are right, the AI guys seem like whimps when it comes to passing. About the only time I have them hounding me is when I have a crumpled sheet metal or am on worn tires and they have fresh ones. Then when I hold the line I can watch them fight for the pass in the mirrors. I really wished they were more agressive in their attempt to pass. -- **************************** Michael E.

Oh no, Andy! I meant to say that they're MUCH tougher at the short tracks. In fact, Marty at 101% is like Atlanta at 120%. Does that make you feel better? ;) Dave Sparks IWCCCARS Project: http://www.theuspits.com/iwcccars/index.html Late Night League: http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html Hawaii Handle: davids
