Update!!

Welllll guys sorry its been so long since i last posted here. But anyway time to get caught up on the TeamNORCA racing news. Jason35 won the most recent points segment in the truck series, so he is qualified to race in the chase at the end of the year. A new points segment starts tonight, with the first race being held at I-70 PWF. It will be a shorter segment than the last one, featuring a few PWF tracks and a superspeedway race at Daytona! YAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

TeamNORCA is also starting the Trans Am series up again, which will feature exciting road course action. I am also sure that Jason will probably whip our asses, LOL.

The Mods of NR2003

And the Nasar Busch Series mod. Since NR2003 only came with the Nextel Cup Series, these mods offer alot of different venues to race at, in many different racing series.
And of course we have our beloved Craftsman Truck Series mod.
The above photo is of the IROC (International Race of Champions) mod. Many leagues run this mod also, as these cars are fun to race.
Heres a shot from the cockpit of a OWR car.
The above pic is of the OWR mod. Modeled after the IndyCar series, this mod offers you the opportunity to race in the Indianapolis 500.
And those high speeds require perfect car control, or else this happens........
AH! Here we go! My favorite NR2003 mod....Trans Am. It features 4 models of cars, Dodge Vipers, Ford Mustangs, Chevy Corvettes, and Jaguars. These cars can go extremely fast, 220+!
The silver 23 car slid across the blue car's hood, causing the 23 car to leave the ground for a split second.
The 2 photos above are of the Ferrari 330 mod. While I personally dont like the mod, it has a small but devout following. Notice the 2 cars behind the green 23 car.
Heres a scene many, many people miss dearly, and that is of that beloved #3 Goodwrench car going around the track and whoopin ass and takin names.
Here I am driving the #3 car, and me and the AI cars are 4 wide coming out of turn 2 at Daytona. Talk about tight racing!
The above pics are of the AeroWar 88 mod. A favorite of many NR2003 racers, there are many leagues than run this mod.
The pic above is of the ARCA REMAX mod. (thats me in the LUCAS car) These cars race at many Nascar Nextel Cup tracks, and since most drivers are inexperienced, terrible crashes sometimes occur, like this past February at Daytona. Several cars went airborne in a 20 car crash.
The above pic is of the OWSC (Open Wheel Sprint Car) mod. Designed for dirt tracks, the AI is awful on asphalt and concrete tracks. However, a human can make the cars turn 13 second laps at Bristol, lol.

I have quite a few mods, all of which I got before iRacing pretty much said they'd sue anyone hosting NR2003 mods. So....i went and took pictures of all my nr2003 mods, and here i will share them. The above picture, is of a ASA mod car. It is similiar to the Hooters Pro Cup cars, but since no one races the ASA mod much I will only post 1 picture of it.

TeamNORCA Truck Series Race 9-7-2005

The race ended under caution, and lo and behold, Mr Spinout himself, couchracer, took the checkered flag. Talk about a comeback! After spinning at least 4 times during the race, couch persisted and nabbed his first victory this season in the truck series. I finished second, and I am currently 3rd in points....rememeber, top 3 in points in each segment qualify for the "Race to the Championship"
After restarting with 4 laps to go, on the first lap of green flag racing, going into turn 3, the 98 truck of Dad098 taps the rear bumper of Jason35's Dodge, sending him into a violent crash.
Here, rewster WAS leading, but spun out and collected Jason35 in the process.
Wrong!! Here he goes and wrecks AGAIN! (We sensing a pattern here perhaps?)
...sending deeman out of control. Looks like couchracer made it thru clean tho right?
Here couchracer eats some serious bumper....
While rew was crashing, couchracer went and wrecked anyway, LOL!
Here was a weird crash. Going into turn 1, rewster97 turned to the right to avoid running over couchracer, and drove right into my truck. It hurt him more than it hurt me, as you can see rewster eating a nice concrete dinner, LOL.
Here's a pic that was taken after I had just led my first lap of the entire season in the truck series.
Here the 98 truck of Dad098 got into the back of the truck driven by Droctor K. During pit stops , Droctor's pit crew cut off his tailgate.
Here was a bad crash...the 25 of couchracer got loose going into turn 1, and spun out, taking 2 trucks with him. None of the trucks involved were seriously damaged.
But it only took 3 or 4 laps for the first crash. Here the number 7 of Deeman goes for a spin.
As you can see, it was a beautiful day for racing under the Arizona sky


The TeamNORCA Craftsman Truck Series visited the Phoenix Motor Speedway for yet another exciting race. Of our 3 racing series, the trucks have provided the most excitement, last week's truck race was not for points but it was a nailbiter of a finish. (Pics coming soon). This week, after recruiting DroctorK, my team qualified 1-2-3 at Phoenix.

Hurricane Relief

As we all know, about one week ago Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf Coast, creating the worst natural disaster in our nation's history. You may ask....what does that have to do with NR2003 sim racing? Well, the answer is simple...many NR2003 racers are from that region. One of those being TeamNORCA's very own Bign129. He is a Police Officer in the Gulfport Mississippi area, and he left a post on our message board right b4 the storm hit. We have not heard from him since, and quite frankly, we are very worried about him. Even couchracer, another law enforcement officer from our league that lives in Tampa Bay, FL, has not been able to find out anything about Bign, even thru police channels. We hope and pray Bign is still alive, although we do not know that, and its very worrisome. We assume that Bign has suffered major personal loss, IE house, cars, personal possessions, etc. That is why TeamNORCA will be hosting the "Race For Bign 250", to be held on Sunday, September 11th, at 8:30 PM EST. Qualifying will be held at 9:30 PM. Everyone is welcome, many racers will be attending. Rewster is hoping to do another racing video of the race, and before the race everyone will gather on the front stretch of the track and do the biggest burnout known to man.
