Ah but some of the tracks are really tight and there is one inparticular
that did have good elevation changes.

So - 3d sound does not work with an SBlive in Leadfoot?

Spoken by a true race fan. Who, by the way.....like most race
fans.......has never driven a race car in a real race of any kind, and
certainly has never driven a stadium truck race truck. Francois....how many
stadium truck races have you even been to?

Yep you really don't know shite about me.

Going back to Leadfoot, I still stand on my point. Every marketing material
I was able to watch showed me very, VERY wide tracks and no-real sharp
elevations (like per example Motocross games on the market). It's okay,
they have the choice to develop it like they want, but it's not my type of
racing because I wanted a realistic indoor stadium off-road simulation.
Sorry.

Can't find it here in Atlanta? Do the Ratbag titles have track editors?

Seems CompUSA finally got their shit together and got the jump on EB this time. Picked mine up on the way home.

Actually, I hope my impression of Leadfoot are false. I still play SODA :
Off-Road, so I have interest in buggy racing. I just wish that the stadium
tracks are trully stadium tracks, not fictionnal ones.

Exactly. Stadium racing as I *think* (searched for the game yesterday,
but nobody had it) Leadfoot portrays it -the Mickey Thompson series-
is long gone anyway.
What we're left with is CORR, which has a mini truck class similar to
the stadium trucks, but is run on larger outdoor tracks.
The larger tracks allow inclusion of full sized V8 trucks like SODA
portrayed in addition to buggies and mini pickups.

Nope.....although the same competitor did put out "Redneck Offroad
Racing".....I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot pole.....
