Drivers: Subject: LEGAL QUALIFYING ON FASTLAP 97 NASCAR 2 If you are qualifying at Taladega and you use the standard WEAVE technique for heating your tires, without spinning the car around or driving backwards. You will use about 1.9 gallons of gas with even a 3.50 gear. If you do a NO NO and drive backwards up the track. Totally ILLEGAL to turn 3 you will use 2.2 gallons and if you drive all the way back to tuirn 2 you will use about 2.4/2.5 gallons. Anyone that exceeds 1.9 gallons of gas on your ATTEMPTS at TALADEGA will be considered an ILLEGAL lap. In case of a tie the person using the least amout of gas is credited with the ranking.. Don Wilshe, IVGA PS. We will publish all the tracks and the legal gas consumed for each track.. PSS. These parameters will be enforced in the OFF-LINE RACE 97 program that JOE FARR operates for the IVGA

After a year away from Nascar1, I just bought Nascar2 and was ready to pull some Fastlaps when I noticed the 22 gallon load. What's with this? The old version had us running with 2 gallons. can we not override the Papyrus code for this? I'm not complaining, but it sure has messed up my setups! I was testing with the lighter load and getting up to the mid 195's and was sure to see 196mph soon. With the heavy load, I'm back down to mid 194's. I'm bummin....... Mike Lifes too short,....don't fold your underwear!

You answered one question (thanks) and I'm not suprised you didn't answer the second question so I'll ask it again... will FASTLAP97 pick up cutting through pit lane as a "no no" or can it be done?

Well, you can thank Bobby Labonte for his input on that. If you haven't noticed yet, N2 has changed a lot of things, fora 'more realistic' sim. There's no override for it, so you'll just have to live with it.

Charlie: Good Question: At this time we cant detect driving through the pits, but can you do this on NASCAR 2 and what improvements are you seeing.??? I know that Taladega was fixed, but did PAPYRUS fix the wilkes where drivers could cut down pit row. Dont know if PAPYRUS cares about this as they didnt fix it in MULTI either. But I havent tested cutting the pits on qualifying in N2. Drivers: Could you report any tracks that you can cut through the pits on qualifying.. Thanks Charlie: Don Wilshe

Winston Cup rule change for the 1996 season: cars now qualify at full race weight (which now includes a full tank). ---Jim
