#19-Healtsource Ford, Loy Alenn,Jr.
#8-Circuit City Ford, Hut Stricklin
#1-Hooters Pontiac, Rick Mast
#33-SKOAL Chevy, Robert Pressley
#98-RCA Ford, Jeremy Mayfield

#80-MCA Records Ford, Joe Ruttman
#65-Elena's Ford, Steve Seligman
#95-Sadler Ford, Chuck Bown
#57-MATCO Tools, Jim Bown

All of these cars are either not included in the CARS96 carset from
IWCCCARS or are not painted correctly (probably where the first time they
were seen was when ESPN starting broadcasting from Daytona).  I want to
have all the cars that actually run in the '96 season.
Thanks for the help!

The #1, #8, #33, #37, #87, and #98 have been updated, and the newest
version of CARS96 is reasonably accurate up to the Busch Clash.  The #33
uses the old Skoal Bandit logo from my WC94 set, though, and not the
current logo.

Regarding the others, at least some of them should be in an
IWCCCARS extras.zip in the future.

But would Steve Seligman ever make a 39-car Papyrus NASCAR field?? ;)

Johnny,

As far as all these cars, several have been updated and are in the
process of being updated for CARS96.  Most in your list are
Daytona-only entries (such as Jim Bown, Bud Seligman, and Phil
Barkdoll) as well as limited schedule drivers (Jeff Purvis, Wally
Dallenbach, and*** Trickle).  Nevertheless, as many of these cars as
possible will be added to CARS96 in an EXTRAS.ZIP package hopefully
before the end of the month.  This will also include a couple of cars
you didn't mention, including Randy MacDonald's ride for the Rookie of
the Year.

Our emphasis, however, is on designing cars that will run the full
schedule, and thus our attention will be centered on those cars for
the next week or so while Speedweeks are still going on.
Consequently, there may be a delay in getting the other cars out.  It
also depends on which of the cars in your list actually make the
Daytona 500.

If you can't wait for us to get to them, keep an eye out at Leo and
Shannon's Car Page or on the binaries site for these extra cars.  Hope
that helps you out a bit.
