Mark,

     I sure hope so!! But 1st they have to finish the AMA bike sim,then do
the 1999-2000 Can-Am sim. That sure sounds like a couple of years to me. And
add to that,they have to be making money with the 1st to sims to produce the
1970 Can-Am.

We're finalising a few agreements which will make it very clear that the
1970 Can-Am game can, and will, happen.

Staying in business long enough to do 1970 Can-Am will certainly help. ;>

If we start the clock today, both Can-Am games *should* be done in well
under 2 years hence. This is largely due to the way we're building our
technology. We structured and designed the product families more in keeping
with the mainstream technology sector.

Yes. The reason I'm so forward about the 70's Can-Am game is because of some
recent developments - some things I wouldn't have thought possible a month
ago. When we announce, you guys will all be going: "No wonder he's been so
sure."

All I can say is we will do whatever we can (and that's financially
feasible) to get the real deal. We have some things working in our favor
which give us a pretty good chance. Even if we can't get the names, I'm
pretty sure we can still get the cars.

  I think the length of this thread indicates a positive
future for the CAN AM sim...but did you catch
Mr. Miller's subtle hint?   Buy that dang AMA
bike sim even if you don't like two wheels...keep
this company going so that the glory days of
American Road Racing can be revisited...

now after a speech like that, the sim had better
be good!  ;}

I wasn't trying to hint at anything.

I've done start-up companies before this and have more or less seen it all.
I'm just being realistic about the technlogy biz.
