Dubious Quality: Stock Car Championship Racing

I want to say thanks to a great guy, Bill Harris for giving us a place for fans to give us some feedback about SCR, better known as Stock Car Championship Racing!

I follow Bill's Dubious Quality blog every day, and he has saved me a few purchases of bad games as well as pushing me to some games I never would have seen.

Plus Eli 4.0 is NOT to be missed whenever Bill has a moment to share!

Thanks Dubious Quality! Thanks Bill for giving us a little push on your blog! We appreciate it. If you are visiting us at the forums or the MGDB blog, please feel free to comment and post! All of us at the BIG M will enjoy hearing from you.

Database work today

Decided to change the way the crew (pit crew, mechanics, body specialists, etc) rankings were set up to reflect that some would develop into future crew chiefs, owners, etc.

So the two categories were combined, meaning everyone in the crew categories will have their normal settings and also skillsets for crew chief categories as well. I believe it would be better to have some progression in the game to allow some pit members that maybe have the skills to be a Crew Chief, evolving along with certain other pit duties that could reduce over a period of years.

More on this as I work out the chinks on it. Looks very good at the outset. More to come.
