That's because I crashed and so my max speed was decreased. It means now at the beginning of the turn I have to do a B to go down to safe speed for my wrecked car.

Spaced's car is refreshed and ready to hunt bear.
GJ is poised to pit.
And the rest start to line up to take their turns in the pit.

A REMINDER THAT SPECIAL POWERS NOT ALLOWED IN THE PIT (PROPER)
A BmmmmmmB counts as using your special power, and you can't use WC's either.
But a BBmmmmmm prior to crossing the ## works or a mmmmmAA if you've cleared the ##.

Now accepting orders for turn 18.

AND I"VE DECIDED TO CHANGE MY CRASH RULE FOR THE 2nd and 3rd lap. I'm going to stack both racers in the same spot instead of one behind the other. Having to avoid the oil from the back spot didn't work out like i thought. Hopefully this will work better.

Tired of ads?

That should benfit the sway people marginally.
Some of them are in inconvienent spots.

Many more crashes than I would have expected.

You don't watch Nascar much, do you

Crashes are where it's at ...

Seriously though - I think the amount of crashes in this game has added to the excitement Perhaps lowering the penalty a bit more and then making them more likely is a good idea? (For example, have a one lap qualifier, determining starting position, and then have a 3 car wide (sometimes 2 car wide) track...)

For that matter, and this is purely as someone who's not watched FG: Nascar 1-8, have you tried round, shorter tracks, with more laps? It would seem to me that might end up with more excitement as well (ie more crashes/crash avoidance, and more relevance to pitting can be given, etc.)?

My queue should still be good.

I'm wondering WTF Jonny is doing.

He looks to have to burn 2 WC in the turn to stay on the track.

Did my threat of hitting him, scare him?

Orders and a question sent

I am sure glad you included that rule about anyone getting hit 6 times or more on one lap and then going through the pitts gets an automatic shield of invulnerability for the following lap (too bad for Vovan that it doesn't apply to him .......as it was him that hit me ).

Boring for whom exactly? I kinda like these turns where I don't have to watch the guy behind me avoid the oil spill that he created

I don't think so ... i'm pretty sure he can make it all the way around the curve without a single wild card. I've mapped it out. (But i'll let him do the work himself )

Uh, yeah my bad, I was looking at my favorite path.

I have cleaned out my mail box.
I always do the in box, but sometimes neglect the out box. The out box was the problem.

My Apologies. Please resend if you're in doubt that I got them.

I thought you were just asking a question....and if I understand your question, yes you can have a B (brake) at the start of your turn and a A (accelerate) at the end of your turn without using a wildcard. 2 A's or 2 B's require a wildcard and any other combination is not allowed (2 A's and a B, 2B's and an A etc).

Now............send in your orders
