I think the tv views in the replay need to be worked on.  They are so far
away that all you see are some boxes moving slowly towards the camera, then
for a second you see the textured paint on the car, then it turns back into a
box and drives off again.  Will there be an option to zoom in and out?

When I die, I want to go peacefully, like my grandfather in his sleep,
not screaming like the other passengers in his car.

I have a Pentium/166 with a Matrox Millenium card and the demo runs great.  It
is very smooth.  However, I would like to bring up a few points that could be
improved:

1 - The car graphics aren't quite right.  In particular the trunk, side
windows, and hood don't look quite right.  The hood looks bent in the middle,
the windows need to be better defined and the trunk with its spoiler just looks
wrong.

2 - The front ends of the Thunderbird and Grand Prix are not representative of
the 1996/97 models used in the '96 season.  And, the body of the cars are still
only based on the Monte Carlo.  Why is this?  Is it possible to have 3
different bodies that look more like the real cars, or at least base it on the
Thunderbird which is by far the most prevalent of the bodies in Nascar today?  
The Monte Carlo is by far the ugliest of the three!

3 - Will there be animation in the pits this time?

4 - Would it be possible to add damage to the sides of cars when sideswiped by
another car?

5 - Why is the view inside the car so much smaller?  It makes it seem much more
closed in.  The top of the windshield needs to be raised some!

Keep up the good work guys!
