    Variety is the spice of life...

    This just in from NASA TX:


    Also we received so much great feedback about the last Texas World Speedway event that we have decided to run the 2.9 mile course clockwise again!!!

    Time to rethink current setup! Maybe change back to what I just had....or not!

    Any of the AI guys willing to post 5th gear info and tach readings going the other way? I might run out of 5th gear and I am considering 3.55's....

    Thanks!
    Ah, fugg it.

    I concur with Marshall. I doubt you will have any problem beating all the other AIX cars with that combo in your bid for the championship...

    MW,

    I was @ 5900 rpms, at the end of the straight... 3.73's with .83 5th gear.

    I have my tach light set to come on at 5800... it would flutter on and then post for the last few hundred feet of the straight.

    Pardon my rant but this is freakin rediculous.

    I have a new idea for NASA TX in 2008. Tell us the event dates at the beginning of the year and then 3-weeks before the event tell us where we will be racing. This will keep the element of suprise. At least with that approach I wouldn't have to keep lowering my expectations. :?
