Yes, that's right sports fans n beer drinkers, DUI Racing is gonna take it to the next level come spring time. Oughtta give Hoggy n Rod nuff time to pick up their copy of NASCAR SimRacing. Yes, Pooh's gonna make you boys go out n spend a buck or two. Krusty n Sparky tested out the new Dedicated Server for SimRacing and everything is 5x5. Even you slow assed bastages can connect n race!
Now Hoggy, Rod, Pert, youse gotta go buy SimRacing and get er installed n registered so's youse can run wit da big dogs!
Open Containers, if we are still gonna run em, will have to be run on the old NT04 platform, but Trucks n Keg cars can move on up in the world now that Poindexter's got everything hooked up n rollin.
Go get er done dammit!

"Poindexter" huh? I'll have you know that I represent that remark! Took me a minute or 20 to get the Dedicated Server thang figgered out, since EA/GameSpy decided that the new Ded Serv prog needed to use a completely different set of TCP/UDP ports than the old NT04 one. It helps to get connected if ya can remember yer logon ID for the EA Game thang too. Took on Krusty and a few AI drivers on the new server (yes, you can now race against AI drivers online as well as in the "Race Now" and "Career" modes) and one of the AI drivers won. Well, I had forgotton to default my setup to the "Race" set and was havin trouble makin the "Novice" setup work durin the race. Right now everything looks like a "go" for SimRacin. I'll keep the old NT04 server program up n runnin too just in case anyone gets nostalgic n wants to race on the old program.

When you go to register your game be sure to register it with the name you want to use on the (online) tracks. Or get stuck with a lame - O name like I did In Sim racing you only get to use 1 name in multi player so do it right the first time Well at least that cuts down on the number of Trolls popping in and out of the rooms Another good feature is not only can the server boot trolls he can ban them from ever coming back (Permaboot) (what was that dudes name?) When you click on the join race button it takes you to the race settings page first so if you don't like the settings you don't have to enter the room A neat feature is the "spectator" option that lets you watch the race without entering with a car The trucks are much better than the ones for 04 And it has Busch cars I'm sure the game has some bugs to it but so does 04 (Remember Martinsville?)
