(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

1:43.9 is my best time so far(I think) I like the AH100 here, it's by far the easiest drive and very consistent I can go slightly faster in other cars though..... oooh what to do, what to do.

Have a little useless history if you want of this track and the area. It was located in a scenic part of southern California, and used the roads in the area. The area was used and is still used by the movie industry, because they thought this area represented "cattle country" in the old "cowboy" days. In reality "cattle country" is flat or rolling hills of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas, totally boring scenery. No rocks or anything to hide behind in a gun fight when the bad guys or Indians attack. Many famous movies and TV shows were filmed here. Hopalong Cassidy, Gene Autry and many more old westerns movies. TV shows Gunsmoke, Bat Masterson, CSI Las Vegas, and even X Files. The track only ran for two season in 1956-57 and was abandoned because it was a killer. 3 people died in this short time so they decided no more....So be careful "It's a killer"...Also we will run it season 16 in the Trans Am series as a substitute for a track they ran in 1966 but was never modeled for GTL.
See you at the track Bob M.

Thanks for the trivia Bob - that prominent lava rock certainly bring reminders of the old western movies.
Nice track, but check your fuel consumption guys - this appears to be one of those tracks where the car will do less laps than shown on the setup screen, at least for my chosen ride.
Cheers, Erling

Thanks, I was happy for a moment - now I'm 10 second off the pace with the Merc (despite Erling's brilliant setup ). Those trunk like objects remind me of kart racing in Cyprus in the early sixties on an Army square with the track marked out in old ammunition boxes and getting nudged and ending up straddling one

Don't tell Clive Too late Erling!, although it won't help me. I'm taking a couple of weeks holiday in darkest Wales where men are men.. and the sheep are terrified. So i won't be bothering you guys on Monday night. Probably sitting in front of a log fire with a drink...or two Have fun guys, I'll be back next week.
