Green flag is 3:15 Eastern Standard so the window closes at 2:15 Eastern Standard time.



Hey Mike, I got a copy of NASCAR last night when I had nothing to do. I messed with it on "Champion" difficulty last night and my car would barely hang on to the draft at Daytona and then I ended up cooking my engine! I turend it down to "Hard" and it made a world of difference. I ended up leading a couple of laps in my Gatorade Duel race before getting slung shot by a 5 car draft... ended up running 3rd I think. Then I was running top 10 and led a couple laps in the 500 before spinning with about 6 to go.... ended up 35th. Then I was running Phoenix... qualified 20th, running about 23rd, tried to stay out to lead a lap but Ray kept calling me into the pits... went in, 4 tires, fuel, grill tape, and a trackbar adjustment... cmae back onto the track to find a caution had flown and the console locked up looking at Kurt Busch's car pointing backwards in turn 4. Had to turn it off.... and now here I be....


Dad wants me to come to church and record his song... be about the third time I've been to such a place in two years.

Mike, are you still on champion mode or just "hard?" I just re-ran Phoenix, started 20th, caution came out again in the middle of pit stops, and I restarted 13th, finished 19th. It was an improvement! I've got an upgraded chassis... and these guys just drive like they have 50 more bhp coming off corners.... I don't stand a chance. The advantage to that is that I an drive in a lot deeper than them. I'm trying to save up for a new engine package.


Time to watch a real race now.... window closes in 8 mins.

I got out of Forza for a while and my setups were so antiquated that I wasn't even close to competitive when I went back.... I gave up not too long after that.

Is the multiplayer on the new game bteter than the old one?
