Can't, not on my NR2003 computer ATM. Next time I have it is Monday.

can someone give me a DL link?

Can't on GTM... It would be piracy. There are plenty of ways to get it, without someone linking you to it. Such as the way I got it. I bought it on Ebay for the current resale value which is roughly $80.

Kerry on my team seems to be doing well.

Phoenix 1 Review

Mike Jeffries nabbed the pole for this race, and he held the lead for a time despite a tough onslaught from Howard Owler and David Juchem. Owler got by Jeffries on lap 3 and held it. A pack of the first 3 cars broke away and Jeffries and Owler duked it out for a long time. Marcus Rossi, in last, was losing about .1 second every 10 laps on the 38th place car, and he was getting more frustrated by the minute. Green flag stops began and this shuffled the pack until the leader was James Stein, who then slowed to pit but was slammed into hard by the previous leader, Howard Owler. Owler spun into the middle of the track and Jack Steadman hit him head-on, damaging Steadman's engine. Alex Valentine moved up to avoid Steadman and slammed into last race's winner, Will Harvey, sending both into the wall. However, only Steadman retired from the race. Owler and teammate Garry Orilla were a lap down when they went in to pit. After the restart Calum Huges was in the lead followed by Mike Jeffries, who couldn't seem to get that elusive lead. Then on lap 50 debris threw out another caution. However, Max Timber, Ralph Thompson, Shane Graysen, John Mickel and Matt Armoset all retired with technical problems during that caution, so it's likely that there was a collision that wasn't seen on camera. At the halfway mark Hughes was still leading with Jeffries on his tail and Bryce King in third as the surprise so far. Another 20 laps went by without incident and the final wave of pit stops started, Jeffries surprisingly going in before Huges. After pit stops the only notable change is that Sam Quirrel is in second, Jeffries in third. Hughes and Quirrel battle it out for the lead with 35 laps remaining. 20 to go and the two were still fighting, Quirrel trying to pass but unable to while Mike Jeffries used this as an opportunity and was gaining on them quickly. However, Calum Huges successfully held them off to produce a victory. Congrats to the 44 team and CrazyClown.

LAS VEGAS review

James Stein grabbed the pole for this week's race, with the TRD team in close contention. After a slow start Stein was leading by about 2 tenths, with Kerry Grocutt, the points leader, in second. By lap 13 John Mickel had passed Grocutt and was catching Stein, but Stein had no intention of losing the lead. Then on lap 30 drivers came in for the first wave of green flag stops. Drivers from back in the pack, like Marcus Rossi, stopped a lap before the leader, James Stein. However it didn't help them, as they were still back in the pack. After stops John Mickel was leading with Bryce King in 2nd and James Stein in 3rd (Toyota dominance ftw). Then Stein managed to pass King and was catching Mickel after lap 40. 2 laps later Stein had taken the lead back. Second wave of green flag stops began on lap 57, no cautions yet. After this wave Mickel was leading over Matt Armoset and Bryce King by 1.3 seconds, and James Stein was in 4th, 4 seconds back. However, obviously Mickel did not have an amazing car because Bryce King was coming for the lead very quickly. Eventually both King and Armoset got past Mickel and King was leading. But then another wave of pit stops gave John Mickel the lead back (man his crew is on form today...) with King and Armoset 1 second behind, like before. Lap 94 of 107, no cautions, Mickel had lapped Marcus Rossi and Bryce King was slowly catching Mickel again. 5 to go and King was within sight of the leader, and more lap traffic was approaching with 5 laps left. Final lap and the lapped car, Raymond Flask, had blocked King but had allowed Matt Armoset through and it was gonna be close. However, Mickel stuck the finish and took home the first win for Toyota Team America. Congrats to smashysmashy! (also commiserations for S_M, letting a third win slip through his fingers)

What has happened to my team. They did well in the first round, and then floundered in the subsequent two. Hopefully things'll pick up soon. =D

Bristol, eh? Should be fun... We better get some kind of highlights from Bristol.

Edit:

I like our three way tie for eighth place in points. Me, S_M and Jonzu... Not too bad. JD must have some top secret formula for his driver stats. He seems to be pretty dominant so far.

Also, NFX... It would seem that you set the driver stats pretty heavily to be good at superspeedways (i.e.: Daytona and Talladega).

Don't worry. If my testing is any indication, there will be plenty of crashes :P

Sounds good.

Oh and about the Daytona video... My sponsor is pissed that we didn't get any screen time. Partially my fault for being so far toward the rear, but even FOX Sports shows the rear of the field sometimes.

[Badnik96]

It was the final lap with an intense battle out front. Duh.

I suppose... The sponsor still didn't like it.

I'm waiting for Rossi's time to shine... the road courses. 

[HurricaneAndrew]

I'm waiting for Rossi's time to shine... the road courses. 

My driver's stats are heavily weighted to be good at the speedways. It should make for a good points run in the end, since there are mostly speedways on a normal schedule. Road course is the weakest stat, but that's usually how it goes in real life too.

Bristol review

Mike Jeffries finally scored a pole for Bristol this week, with Tim Sauter starting on the outside. He got a great start and no one could catch him early on. Both Cal Spears Jr. and David Jones had to pit early on for some reason and ended up 3 laps down each. After 25 laps Jeffries caught lap traffic in Marcus Rossi and was caught by Sauter. After 10 laps of battling Sauter grabbed the lead and Jeffries had to play catch-up. Rossi had gone a lap down but now his teammate David Jones was holding up Sauter and allowed Jeffries to make a shot at the lead again. This bizarre race continued as Jeffries lost seconds to Sauter after Jones managed to get in front of Bryce King and then lost another spot to Matt Armoset, reigning champion. However a struggling Bryce King was now holding up Sauter and Cal Spears was looking to get one of his 4 laps back as well. Strangely, Rick Metablu had lost a lap before King, who was now seconds in front of the leader but still the last car on the lead lap. Jeffries passed Armoset back as well ans Sam Quirrel also passed his teammate to claim third. On lap 80 green flag stops began and as a result of a bad stop Sauter was 1 lap down in 36th. Sam Quirrel had the lead and now only about 25 cars were on the lead lap. Eventually Mike Jeffries went from 3 seconds back to .3 seconds back and Timothy Johnson had lost a lap. Somehow Bryce King was still on the tail end of the lead lap. Lap 140 saw another round of green flag stops and somehow no cautions. Jeffries got the lead, 17 cars were on the lead lap and my lack of highlights disappointed me with 50 laps to go. 20 to go and the nearest car to Jeffries was Sam Quirrel, 4 seconds back. Sadly it seemed that without a caution the race was basically over. After a short time less than a second from the lead Sam Quirrel was 2 seconds back with only 3 laps to go. So, Jeffries wins possibly the most boring Bristol race ever. Congrats to MikeNCR.

With this weird performance at Bristol I will be upping the CPU aggression at the night race later in the season. I wanted wrecks, dammit.
