Okay, now I understand why there is so much complaining about the new NASCAR events. The cars are coded differently as far as how much faster they run, if you win a lot.

During the last team event, I ran the 10 lap Indy race in pre-season rumble about 40 times. As I got more and more bored, I ran it faster and faster. Of my last 10 runs of the race I would say 5 of them were near perfect; meaning no crashes, off-road or having to hit the brakes hard to avoid something. Yet, for 2 of those 5 races, I could not catch 1st place. For one of them I only saw first place on my last lap. For another, I caught him at the last turn but not enough to pass him or pit him. The 1st place car (Harvick) had started in 6th or 7th behind team mates of mine. My car was maxed out, yet 1st and 2nd would accelerate away from me off the corners, about 3 km/h faster. So there is something about the coding of NASCAR cars the makes them faster than you can possibly go. It REALLY opened my eyes to how much the strategies on this forum have helped.

So thanks!!

Now to run some demolition style races on the 20 lap Richmond to put thing right... and a little bit of racing frustration vented out as well!!
