Notes:
(1) It's best if all drivers can make sure they are connected before the Qualifying session as drivers on track during qualifying will not see cars that join after they are on track until they go back to the garage.
(2) Please make sure you are fully aware of the SimRacing.org.uk Rules.
(3) The AI control should be turned off so that you have control of the car at all times, including pitting. Your player file should therefore read
Autopit="0"
Force Autopit Off="1" // Forces autopit always off
No AI Control="1" // AI never has control over car
If you still finding pitting problematic, experience tells us that its less to do with positioning and more to do with approach speed. A slow approach to pit crew chief has proved most reliable.

Special Notes: None.

This quirky little track is about 150 miles from my home.  I never got to see it in operation, it was only open for about 3 years in the early/mid sixties.  At the time my draft # had come up and the goverment said come with us "boy" we are going to make a man out of you!  I'm sure the reason it didn't survive was that it is in a low population farming area and also at that time road racing kind of went out of style here because it was the start of the Muscle car era and most young gear heads bought big motor  Road Runners, Chevelle's GTO's and Torinos  and headed for the drag strip.  Lot less expensive and you could "run what you brung".  Heres some Youtubes of the track back in the day and what is left of it now.

That's just the lay of the land in this area!!!   Looks like I may not be able to join you today as my gameing PC was running Win 7 and when I turned it on this morning it started loading Win 10.  Didn't even ask me just went into the process.  It is all screwed up.  Maybe I can get my computer guru daughter to come down this weekend and help me out.  Just gotta love "microhard"   Have a good time all............

Guess I spoke too soon, called my daughter and she got online connected to our computer and fixed it we think.  Guess all that money for schooling paid off!  See you at the track I hope
