Eldred, too bad you couldn't finish. Did my wing settings help you at all in the race? If you post your email I will send you my setup. Thanks for hosting! Spud. "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I accidentally got the crome horn from Ian which led to wing damage and something in the suspension let go...comming around the last turn at 200mph and she yanked into the wall then the other wall then the wall again..pinball style.. I was holding up Ian but I didn't get a chance to see his real speed since he missed the practice. Normaly I would have just moved over since he was 3 to 4 seconds faster. But I only found that out after he set fastest lap midrace and I was already a spectator in the pits. dave henrie

If you post your email I will send you my setup. I *could* have finished - I parked the car without any damage. I just got tired of spinning ever few laps. Being lapped within 7 laps didn't do much for my motivation. I was just driving around by myself, trying to stay out of the way when leaders came by...

Damn it !! I've done it again !!!! :( Sorry Dave, I totally misjudged your braking point, I tried to swerve around you but it just didn't happen :( Just checked the replay, wasn't *quite* any contact from my view, but it was so close that the game would obviously pick it up. Again, sorry for wrecking your race. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spammers>

Hi Eldred: Thanks for hosting again. On about lap 5 I touched the wall on the straight, and brushed off the rear wing. I didn't feel a thing. That made turn 1 interesting. The car was never right after that incident. Another spin, another lost wing, bad steering after leaving second pit stop, time to park. Eldred, I got back to the pit twice for repairs. If my car had been drivable I would have soldiered on to give you someone to drive against. Because you lose 10 seconds getting the server car out of our way, I did wait for you halfway down Hulman Blvd on the first lap, as I said I would. I was hoping for a little more time at Indy with you folks, but my problems were my own. I deserved to loose my wing on that wall, and it would have been unfair to those who avoided contact with it if I hadn't. This is an example of vulnerability adding to the quality of the race. On balance, I still favor invulnerability. Perhaps someone to race against would have kept you interested. Where to next week? Larry

Honestly, I forgot about setting invulnerability. Remind me sometime this week. Where next week...? <looks for website...> Brazil. Cool - I actually LIKE that track.<g> Eldred -- .sig file is at the cleaners... Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett GPLRank -2.4 N2k3 rank ? Remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

Excellent, me too. After qualling 3rd, I had a CTD during warmup - very frustrating, and when the race started, my launch control button didn't work, got a black flag for jumping the start. Just horrible but I finished the race in 3rd (due to retirements I guess). Thanks for hosting Eldred, I am having a great time doing these and becoming a much better racer. -Phasor
