Good racing with everyone, my first stock car race in rFactor and it was fun. Wish everything had gone better for myself, but I feel lucky I missed that first wreck by about 2 inches.
Good racing and see you all in viva Las Vegas!

| Yes, I gree great race from what I saw of it outside the drivers seat. I want to apologize for any commotion I have caused today with the crash (and I accidently nudged the driver in front of me during the yellow flag), this was my very first actual stock car race on rFactor also and tryed my best to follow all the rules, but do again apologize for anything I have done wrong today and will fix them and *try* to fix my car and get it ready for next week at Vegas. Thankd for the race all and see you soon! |

One thing Colin. When starting the race, you have to stay in the position you qualified, whichever line you end up in. You cannot move down into the inside line if your qualifying lap put you in the outside line.
Glad you enjoyed your first race. See ya next week. |

Okay, I have a question regarding that though. At the start of the race when we were on the grid, I was lined up in the outside line as I qualified 10th or something like that, when we started rolling off the grid i got a notification from the sim to go into the bottom line and follow the car ahead of me in the lower line because I guess some people got booted before the race started. I didn't want to get rFactor pissed at me so I followed those instructions. |

| Not sure on that Rhino. I know what is supposed to happen is that if anybody in front of you got booted, you move up in that line but you shouldn't be told to change lines. |

| That would depend I think. If someone in front of him got knocked out of the server after qualifying then he might be told to get in the inside lane. Example--->Going from 10th place to 9th place in the grid before the drop of the green flag at the start of a race I think would move you to the inside lane. |

Congrats John on your win.
My first race in rfactor was enjoyable, although I have alot to learn about the game still.
Allen again I am sorry for the scare lastnight out of turn 2, I went to sneezing and couldnt see were I was going, I am just glad I didnt get into you. |

Would have been whoever qualified 7, 8, and 9th, since I went to the inside line AND a row up. |

LOL, no worries. I almost wrecked from laughing when you told me. You honestly didn't cause me any issues when it happened. I just eased off for a sec to see where you were going. |

| Easiest way is to make sure you have icons turned on (Tab key by defualt) and stay behind whoever's name is highlighted in yellow. That is who you are supposed to be behind. Im not sure it sorts that out at the race start but i would think it does. |

Yup thats exactly what I did too. I had the icons on and thats where it told me to go.
Congrats to the 26 (John) by the way. Had a couple of good laps racing with you until my tires gave up. |

| Thanks Ron, There was some good racing going on last night. I was going to make it on gas when the yellow came. Joe in all the next races you should put a rule in that with 10 laps or less all lap cars must do a drive thru so that the lead cars can race for the win. You would have won that race had the lap cars not been in the way. |
KEEP IT ON THE TRACK |
