I dunno if this is an easter-egg or a "feature" but if i run into that first
bale of hay at full speed(use the entire striaght to accelerate) and his the
bale head on, this cheesy fire "engulfs" the car... it's weird.... it looks
good in the replay though.....

BTW - is there any way to adjust the car at all? Like suspension or gear
ratios or something like other papy games

I crashed into a bale of hay and wound up having my front and back
left wheel perched ontop of the hay, while my front and back right
tires were resting on the ground.  I was stuck there for a while,
until finally hitting reverse for the ump***th time caused it get all
four tires back on the ground.  Not really realistic, but it looked
cool.

I find crashes made to the outside barrier (left of the track) to be
quite unrealistic.  When hitting full speed, I wind up "bouncing" off
the fence and the car keeps on bouncing off the ground or anthing in
it's way like an indian ***-ball.

I hope this is only because it is a alpha demo.  When I hit the fence
at top speed, I expect the fence to break and my car to fly into the
trees.

Yes it is cause it's the alpha. because Papy isn't done twekeing the ol 3D
model yet.

  How can you call the fire effects cheesy?!!!!!!!  Those are the best
flame/smoke/flame-sound effects I've ever seen on any computer program!  You
wouldn't happen to be smoking that Easter grass would you? ;-)

So I think what you are trying to say is...."pass me that spleef cause I want
another hit!" ;-)

   Not in the demo.
