Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could send me a N2 calendar file for the '97 WC season, with a replacement for Daytona. I guess I could make one myself, this seemed like an easier way! Thanks, LC http://www.ime.net/~lcinme (My All-Racing Page)

www.nascar.com has the '97 schedule. I took my info off there and build a calendar. So, if you're not lazy, and don't mind replacing Daytona, Indy, California, and Texas with alternate tracks, you're set. Tom Polen

What Track do you reccomend replacing Texas with? I know Tally is for Daytona and Michigan is for California(Califrnia was modeled after Michigan by Penske), but what track is Texas like?

C***te or Atlanta would be a decent replacement. All three tracks are 1.5 miles (Atlanta is 1.522) and have 24 banking. I'm not sure which track's dogleg most closely resembles Texas. If I had to guess though, I'd say C***te. -- The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative [link lost in import] [link lost in import: /~ebusch/]

I think Texas is like C***te in layout, but the banking is way different. It has two different bankings one for IRL the other for Winston Cup. -- Todo Es Justo En Amor Y Carreras.

Jim IRL cars race low... on the NASCAR apron, as IRL cars race better with less banking. NASCAR races high, where the banking is. Tom Polen

This is because the prize money is sooo much bigger in Winston Cup. ;-) -- **************************** Michael E.

Easy Jim: If you read the documentation from the Texas Intl Speedway its say thier is a high groove for NASCAR's and a low groove for INDYCAR's Don Wilshe

You're right, Eric - from what I've seen from testing on Texas, it is almost exactly the same as C***te. In fact, Atlanta is also being reconfigured, and when it is done it too will have the same layout as C***te. That makes 5 races on essentially the same track. But hey, no redundancy there, right?

The "apron" of the high bank part of the track is also slightly banked. The indy cars will race on this part of the track, as it goes all the way around the track. The most interesting thing brought to light (by *** Berggren, I think) concerning this design is that with the banked apron, chances are that the Winston Cup boys may try to use this part of the track for passing in a pinch. I imagine Dale Jarret will set up his car to run down there and Ernie Irvan will just go there by accident!!! Mike
