I grew up beside a dirt track in WV. This would make a great racing
simulator, IMO. The Papyrus Nascar sim has got to be the most
challenging, and interactive game to date. Great job Papyrus!

A dirt track simulator?

This bit me last night at Pocono.  Both left side tires knocked out in a
multicar collision (looked a little like the end of the BGN race at
Homestead Sunday), only this was lap 40 of 100.  Anyway, best I could do
was wiggle the car around the turn I was 'stuck' on.  Soon as I got near the
beginning or end of the turn, the car would slide to the grass, and I could
proceed no further.  Wore the RR tire out trying to get out of that turn.
Max speed I could attain was 8 mph - not very realistic - I was willing to
suffer more quarter damage if my tires flapped around :-(
