Yeah!  What size track?  Dirt trackin'! Whee!  Hmm... time for
IWCCCARS to make an ARCA carset, eh?  Heh.

Haven't read the group in a while.  Been practicing a bit now that I got
a T2.  Instantly I was able to drive without bouncing off walls.  Finally
not as frustrating.  Set fastest practice speed at Atlanta with 100%
opponent strength, and even managed not to hit anyone while in the middle
of a three-a*** situation all the way around a couple corners.  Just
gotta get a consistency down; my average times were still worse than the
opponents.

Oh, and, uh, getting the other tracks down too might help, eh?

        I really don't get this thing with the name Daytona. Does that means
that I can't spell Daytona without infringing the law?? Absurd! And the things
in "The Pits" aren't meant to make money, are they?? Remember when Intel tried
to register the number 80586 for the Pentium?? The judges laughed the shit out
of themselves; imagine someone having to pay for using the number Pi, for
instance... This whole thing is outrageous!
 I'm gonna write 'till I get tired: Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  
Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,
 Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona,  Daytona, .... Sue
me, Sega!!!

True, but if Daytona was to ever be made, which would you rather get,
a free copy or a purchased copy???  That's one reason, others have
given just as valid reasons as that one.  

As far as Intel with the 80586, the real reasoning was for patent
purposes.  The patent office can't patent a number, so Intel changed
to the Pentium, which allowed them a patent.  With the pattent in
place, AMD, Cyrix, and others couldn't just reverse engineer the chip,
they had to acually come up with an original design.  That's why Intel
chips performed so much better than Cyrix's first 5x86 chip.  

Stopping the babling....
