Well you know dragracing a high powered car lets say something that will
run 9.90 in the qtr mile or faster is very different and actaully pretty
hard.  its not just mash the gas and go.  Road Racing seems harder due to
the corners, but in drag racing the driving is only part of it.  I drove a
Comp Eliminator car that ran low 8s.  It would fuzz your vision thru the
first 1/8 mile and the work inbetween rounds would make you dizzy as well.

Huh?  Wary of WHAT?  1999 was the year that brought us such all-time
greats as SoS and Ford Racing -- what's to be wary of?  <G>

TRUE -- look at the online communities that have sprung up in support
of such great titles like GPL and DTR (neither of which enjoy the
benefit of NASCAR or F1 licensing).

What if you had to sit in the school for the lesson of the day and walk the
track before racing?  Ok, its lame but at least it's on topic ;-)  Just give us
realistic physics and we'll be happy.  Ok, I'll be happy.  Other people like
pretty graphics too.
