Aaah!
Well, that's something of which I was unaware, Cliff. Thanks for the info.
Incidentally, my compliments to the bloke who created this version for
NASCAR 2003 too - he's done a fine job, in my opinion.

Whoa, whoa, Eldred,
Ouch! Don't even kid about that!
That would break my heart. ;)

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Heehee... >;)

Do you think Nascar doesn't use the long version because that part of the
track is so visible from the public road (like from pickup trucks or your
car's roof)? Despite the fact that parking there is prohibited, I'd expect
quite a few people to watch races from there, as there's plenty of room for
parking the car?

Nah, I doubt it

From what I understand, you can see alot of Sears Point like that also.. (I
could be wrong)

The biggest change between the GPL version and today's is
the second-to-last turn (left hander) is much tighter than it
was before. And the pits have moved/been changed since
then...

</me flips to that song in my mp3 playlist>
My current favorite Yessong is Siberian Khatru, though. :-)
I've seen Yes at least twice(maybe 3 times). Great shows. I just need to
practice more so I can play as well as Chris Squire...<g>
