So-called "revival" of simracing : blah!
I'm with you Larry. To be good requires every bit of skill and yes luck
than at any other type of track. The reason guys still run it is because its fun not because its easy. Personally I don't run nr2003 anymore but when I did dega and tona always had the best turnouts even in skilled league races not just pickups. Going into T1 at Toban is really no different and requires the same skill/luck Remember, "luck is where preparation meets opportunity"....

A random sample of the 300 to 500 players running super speeday sprints on any given night. > If you have 20 long-time SuperSpeedway Racers that can 'smell' the draft, The odds are against getting more than 5 of them in one race, and sometimes some idiot takes them all out. |

That's why I like the semi-private servers.
