TPTCC - Step by Step Setup Please?

by Dave Henri » Thu, 20 Dec 2001 11:51:50

  Portland is as it is...a conversion from CPR.  I don't know if anybody out
there has the time and code knowledge to add to it.  I will say...for a real
event, s***along the outside wall at the last turn.  You'll find PIR's
black hole.
  I can't help ya with painting...I know red, green, and blue but that is
already pushing my skills/knowledge.
  Imola is the Motorcycle circuit that is used by GP bikes.  It's fairly up
to date...say 1999 or 2000 but it does differ from the Grand Prix F1
circuit.
  There are some folks converting SCGT tracks, but I assume it is a
painfully slow process.  We take what we can get.
  And it's NOT Mt Hood, but if you look VERY VERY carefully at Sears, off to
the left of the first hill, you'll see the very tippy top of a
mountain...I'd guess Mt Shasta but that should be much farther north.
