Practice starts at 10 pm Eastern.  Qualifying at 10:30 and race immediately after.

Remember to make a full field of 8 cars total (human and AI) for the race.

We will have a new leader season points leader after tomorrow night since I will not be able to attend the race, assuming Jason and/or Fazeo do make it.

Please, somebody write down the results for the tables in the Nascar thread for update later.  I appreciate the help in advance.

Good luck, boys.  I should be back on the track next week.

Crap, it looks like I may have to miss this one too. :(
 
I'm gonna be one of those 'part-time' drivers if this keeps up...
 
I'm possible, but not likely at the moment.  Have work that I need to do tonight.

I am 50/50 on tonight guys.  Classes started for me today, and my workload is already substantial.  It will depend on how much I can get done after my daughter goes down and whether or not I stay awake  Tongue

Let's see if Kevin can make it tonight. We may have to postpone the race if it's just Fazeo and I.

I can make it, but then again if it is only three of us, is it still worth it?  Besides, I may have to sing Springsteen's "Darlington County" all night.

Technically if two of you show up it's a race.  Just fill out the field with AI cars (6 if 2 humans) and you can race.  If you guys decide not to race, then there is no make-up for Darlington.  We just advance the schedule.  So this is your chance to bank some points if it is only the two or three of you.

My take is if you want to run it go for it.  Don't let lack of humans stop you.

I'd like to have at least 3 - 4 league members to race. I'll send out invites and see who's on at 10pm.

Those were brutal. Darlington's not that big of a track but we couldn't go more than 8-9 laps without needing gas. I pitted as least 8 times last night and 7 of them were under green.

EA did fix an online bug though. I headed into my first pit stop and just selected what I wanted done while my car was on automatic control (but not yet at my pit stop) when John had crashed on his entry to the pit, bringing out the yellow flag. When the screen went back to the track, I had the option to pit under yellow, but my tires were fresh and my gas tank was full. They obviously acknowledged that I was pitting when the yellow came out.

That is surprising.  How many pit stops did the initial screen say you would have?
