--- I've got a decent Dale all painted up and have even bumped his stats up
a bit in the .txt file.  He's banging with me at Martinsville now ;-)
(albeit he's -1L.... he had to...uhhhh... make an unexpected pit-stop
earlier ;-) )
--- Let me know if you wish to have it.  However, if patience can be
exercised, I believe Tony Johns is working on the whole '94 field, likely
with new ratings and all that jazz.  I'd wait for that myself.....

Maybe he wanted a lot more money than Papyrus would pay him?  It's a
shame that things like this are happening in NASCAR today.

I'll even bet that there are big #3 fans out there that won't buy this game for
that reason.  Their loss!

car #3?

I think that was the CGW arcticle that said watch out for the #3.  
Papyrus B.B.S. said it was a matter of lincensing, and you'd have to ask
Dale and his agent.  But it sounded like they did try to get him, but
for what ever reason couldn't.  I mean if I built a game like this I'd
wanted # 3.  Though not a personal favorite, he one heck of a race car
driver.

Now where is #17 old D.W. ???

Thanks,
Gerald

You can't take it with you, might as well buy the Pentium

Or how about the Mellow Yellow (soon to be Coors) #42?

*GREAT* tag line!  I only wish that I had it to get the Pentium with in the
first place!
