rec.autos.simulators

Anyway, they started talking about their Daytona GAME, and the guy said that
they have some more products (can't remember what) named Daytona coming out
next year.  Sounds like they have renewed their license with the France
family.  Knowing that Papyrus is now "in" with NASCAR, however, I would
hope that the France's gave Sega a new license with the stipulation that they
WOULD sub-license to Papyrus.  We can only hope.

I just wish I had been able to call into the show that morning and kindly tell
John Boy and Billy (who are BIG NASCAR fans) about the whole Daytona debacle
with Sega.

Yes, PLEASE!!!

Pat

P.S.  For those of you who don't know, John Boy (Johnny Isley) and Billy (Bill
James) are hosts of the syndicated John Boy and Billy Big Show, the number 1
morning radio show in the south.  Their show originates out of C***te's
WRFX-FM, and they are friends with many of the top drivers in NASCAR.  John
Boy, you may remember, ruffled a few feathers when he gave the command,
"Gentlemen, and Jimmy Spencer, start your engines!!" at North Wilkesboro
earlier this year.

Someone did that and called it Huntsville. I see no differnce is racing.

Uh....actually the REAL track name is the Las Vegas Motor Speedway....he
named it the N. LV Speedway to keep the dogs at bay......and in total
reality, noone ever told the track owner about this.....I offered to talk
it over with them so he could call it the LVMS, but to no response.

Just wanted to straighten a few facts out from a Las Vegas local...

GO IRL!!!
LVMS Sept. 15th

Honestly, Darren, I don't know.  I'm sure I could quite easily be
brought up before the bar regarding my site, as well as could Mike
Carver, Chris Fredericks, Denny Hoffman, etc. etc. etc.  My hunch is
that a) we're providing free advertising, b) we're not making any
money off of it, c) there aren't any other simulators or game
companies that have licensed likenesses of the cars we paint, and d)
the new carsets extend the life of the simulator.

But who knows.  Maybe tomorrow they could shut us all down.  If that
happened, I'd be the first to comply, but until they DO contact me and
ask me to stop I'm taking their silence as implied permission.. ;-)

1. Papyrus does'nt have a Daytona track.
2. I'm not pestering "The Pits", This is rec.auto.sim. remember? Just
because the topic is " Daytona Patch" Does'nt mean Jed or anyone from the
pits has to read or respond to my post. Im just bored :)
3. Still don't see the big deal in releasing it.
4. There are tracks being released all over the net..ie: Texas, Las Vegas,
Huntsville, Homestead...Probably even a Daytona look alike.. I just think
with "The Pits" know-how and experience, their version would be the most
believeable.. Thats all.. Later, Mick
ps. Just kiddin about Homestead, track.. Gotcha !!:)

Subject: Re: Daytona Track

IJ>I don't know about anyone else on this newsgroup, but are you getting
IJ>as tired as I am of posts like these?

Tired doesn't even come close.... :>

IJ>Look, guys, the fabled "Daytona Patch"(tm) is TALLADEGA.  Deal with
IJ>it!!  The only thing the patch PATCHED was scenery, car speed by about
IJ>6mph, and that's about it.  NOTHING ELSE CHANGED!!  You guys seem to
IJ>think that the "patch"(tm) was actually going to look and drive like
IJ>the real Daytona.  What would you think if I repackaged Bristol and
IJ>renamed it Seattle?  Same difference.

Bingo....course, it would be nice if Jed patched the turn 3 problem on
Talladega....heeheehee

IJ>Sheesh.  Why don't you just wait for Papyrus to do the REAL track when
IJ>Sega's license is up at the end of the year?  I'm sure, knowing their
IJ>marketing prowess, that they'll bundle it with NRL.  Can you imagine
IJ>the sales on an add-on that has NASCAR league software AND the Daytona
IJ>track in it?

Can U say.....2x the demand for the Indy500-AO

IJ>Until then, PLEASE stop begging for this patch.  You won't get it.

Three cheers for Tony....hip hip, HOORAY!!!...hip hip, HOORAY!!!
...hip hip, HOORAY!!!...

P.S. -- Tony, do you think you'll ever get the IWCC series going
again??? I've judged every other NASCAR series against IWCC, and there
was just no contest!!!

I'm flattered, though I'd say about 98% of rec.autos.simulators would
disagree with you.. ;-)

If I ever resurrect IWCC I will do so under the following conditions:

1) That it doesn't take away time from my family
2) That I get a TON of co-directors
3) That it be an online (Hawaii-based) series
4) That I have a job that pays well so I can afford the Website and
'Net support stuff

That having been said, I don't see it happening in the near future..
