This Week's Race Section on the Home Page

On Wednesday, we'll show just the Entry List, Last Two Finishes (at this week's race track), Average Finish (graph) (average finish in a graph for all drivers at this week's race track), Average Finish (text) (same as previous except in text form) and Local Weather. As the week moves on, we'll put up 1st Practice Speeds, Qualifying Order, Lineup, 2nd Practice Speeds, Happy Hour Speeds, Unofficial Results and at the top Unofficial Standings. We decided to do it this way so you would not be frustated with clicking dead links.

Outdated Information

The Inside Groove is continuously updated. If you are receiving outdated information, we suggest you try any or all of the following:

Click Reload/Refresh

Clear your cache. This will force your browser to retrieve the most recent version of that document from its source on the network. In general, the cache is found under your browser's Preferences or Options menu. When given the option, clear both the memory and the disk caches.

Increase your browser's document verification frequency. For example, if you are using Netscape, select Verify Documents Every Time in Cache and Network Preferences. Please note that this may affect your navigation speed.

Note: If none of these suggestions is effective, your Internet access provider may be caching documents on its own server. In this case, you may not receive an updated document until the next time your Internet provider clears its cache. Documents that have not been accessed since the last time the cache was emptied will be current. You can call or email your Internet access provider to suggest that they increase the frequency with which they update their cache.

Popup Windows

We use popup windows on this site for many charts and other windows with driver information, None are commercial, so if you are using a popup stopper software, you may need to turn it off to view some of the charts or information.

Macromedia Flash

If you are unable to view our Macromedia Flash Graphs (the table is white) select the correct button below which will take you to the installation page for the Flash Player.

Select the install button. On a 56K modem it will install in 1 minute. You are now ready to view our hundreds of statistical charts, enjoy.

There have been a few new Dell computers that did not have the Flash player installed, this is very unusual. The Flash player is installed on 94% of computers. It is a small, safe file.
