    There is one of these things about 40 minutes from me, and a friend of
the family does this regularly.  He told my father about it and got him all
e***d so we might be taking a trip up there soon.  (near syracuse, NY).
Does anyone have any info on these things?  Since my father doesn't always
get the whole story and allways assums a lot of it.. If you have any info,
tell me about it as if I never heard of it..

Thanks,
Mike Barlow

Are you talking about the Nascar simulators, where you're sitting in a 3/4
size Winston Cup car?

Word of warning, these babies can be ***ive.  Don't expect N3 with a
bigger wheel though, when you first start out it's like you're driving a
tugboat.  It takes a while to get the feel.

I remember when they first came out Jeff Gordon saying they felt pretty
realistic, don't know how much of that was PR talk.  We've been to the one
in Buffalo NY and it's always been quite busy.

Were only one step away from what I'm waiting for, which is the home
version of this with gpl loaded on it.

I believe that there will be a road course added to the available tracks at
Silicon Motor Speedway, but I'm not sure when this will occur.
