Thanks Ducky, Those 5 laps took me forever on my ancient computer...lol.  I'm hoping I can convince my daughter to do the other races for me.  :) I loved the brickyard race track but being from Indiana I would have liked to see the background look a little more realistic.

Thanks Duck.i.  Uber hard and long course.  Easier on the eyes today, though.  None of those car-sucking guardrails, either.  Blech!

This pin is almost as bad as the wiring pin, IMHO.  They should have just had the checkered flag on it and forgot whatever else that is on top of it.  Paintball splats?  LOL  I think it's a set of goggles and racing gloves draped over the flag.  Major bummer.

Thanks Duck.i. This is definitely a hard course.
Is anybody else having trouble with their car going in the opposite direction than you want it to go?
I hit the right arrow key earlier and my car went left! :rofl1:

LoL  No, I haven't had that problem, Coral.  Although I was bouncing off the guardrails yesterday like a pinball.  That's IF I bounced off them.  Most times if I only touched the guardrails yesterday, it would suck my car to the other side of them...and I'd have to reverse out from behind them!  Ridiculous.  I am so partying tomorrow when we're done with this.  Also going to schedule an appointment with my eye doctor  :P :hypno:

Just the eye doctor?  what about the VFK shrink?

Those guardrails seemed to be like a blackhole yesterday. I'd be on the other side of the track and they would still suck me in.

Maybe I momentarily forgot my left from right earlier.  :hmmmm: :lolg:
