Note only NASCAR Groups A1-A5 and AA1, AA2 and AAA1 had the drivers rest to the 5000 chase points. Groups A6-A9 only had a few races and not enough to really make it fair for everyone playing the game.

I also know many of you had issues getting to the site today. I am not 100% certain why this is happening but I was able to test the site from two locations today. It may be a DNS issue and if you are having issue send me an email again and I will provide you with an IP address that should do the job. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks for the continued support. Soon, a fellow driver who has dedicated several hours of helping me develop an incredible Race Replay flash application will be unveiled. I need to test it inside the NASRAC environment but it looks really good and I think it will add that little extra zing you want when watching the replays. So when we release it, remember it may have a few minor issues and we can always make tweaks to improve it.

Season 4 should be fun and I expect it to start sometime next week. I will be going through and retiring old drivers. Moving guys up to AA adn moving some folks from AAA back to AA. I will also make sure (or try) to eliminate duplicate drivers from competing in the higher series like AA or AAA. By this I mean I don’t want Joe Smith 1 and Joe Smith 2 both in AAA, so I will make the effort to clean this up. It is fair and legal to have two drivers, I just maybe don’t want them in AAA so we can open up some slots.

Okay I will be mailing you guys soon. Also please remember it’s okay if you want to make a PayPal donation. I do okay in my day job, but I am trying to show the WIFE all the time I spent has some sort of future

Chat with you all later, good night and have a safe weekend!!!

Last season in A-1 X2X Motorsports was formed just prior too the inaugural Nasrac Chase for the Cup. Putting all four of their teams in the top 10 in points at the end of Season one the entire team was moved too AA-1. They were expected too continue their winning ways & put all 4 teams in the chase again this year, that likely will not happen.

The current highpoint for X2X is #19 Aaron Bean’s 8th place ranking in points. Bean has been the only X2X driver consistently in the top 10 this season. The 19 team’s performance includes 1 win 6 top 5′s & 7 top 10 finishes this season. Bean should make the chase, unless he has a lot of bad luck. Next up for X2X is owner/driver Johnny William’s #1 team. The #1 team is ranked 20th in points, their season has been improving though. After having a slow start Williams was ranked 33rd after race 5 but has fought his way up too 20th in points & has picked up 1 win 4 top 5s & 4 top 10s.

The other two teams have had Abysmal seasons. Ranked in 34th is Tim Reeve in the #4 Toyota. His one win at the Auto Club Speedway is his only top 10 run of the season. “This season has been really tough for me,” said Reeve, “After last Season I moved to AA-1 thinking I would challenge for a championship, that hasn’t gone so well. The good thing is our cars are getting better and we aren’t crashing every week anymore.” The final X2X car is the #888 of James Johnson ranked 35th. Johnson has struggled mightily picking up 1 top 10 finish & a lot of 25th or worse finishes, which has been very tough for the English driver too accept.

The results are in for Race 14 at Pocono. I had to do some more testing tonight but have the race adjustment settings you use in your race strategy working nice and fair. At least to me they look good. A5 you are still on standby until next Monday…

Let me explain the same info can be found in our FAQ. There is one main target adjustment value per race. Tonight the value was 62. Basically if you are within 15 points 47-77 (a 30 point range) your car will improve at that part of the race. Yes it’s that dramatic at lap 50, 100, 150 you become a hair faster – consider it the sun went behind the cloud But this opens up a ton of new ideas for pitting. Like when pitting you can make adjustments to improve your car but slow you down a bit…interesting decisions, I’ll work those out later.

Now if you were outside the range of 47-77 your race rating drops a little. Everything is linear right now except if you nail the setting exactly and you get a bonus for that part of the race. Also I have a cap on how crappy or great it can make the car – if you selected 62-62-62 I’m not moving your rating from 100 to 99 to 98 to 97 where you are 3% faster than everyone else. Rather I have caps and floors…

I will continue to make enhancements and improve the game. I have lots of stuff to work on. I really want to tackle damage next.

Happy Racing…
