I called that Comp USA in Dayton, Oh. and they DO NOT have NASCAR Racing 2 available yet. They
are only taking pre-orders for it.

Indeed.  Well, since you seem to be the only one in the world that's
been able to acquire a copy, I'm sure you wouldn't mind posting some
screen shots.  I'd love to see some of Bristol, Sears Point, and
Rockingham.  

No?  Didn't think so...

What a pity.

Oh well, more time to work on GP2 and ICR2, plus organise a wheel and pedal
set.

Good luck Adam with NASCAR2, and I hope to see it my mailbox in Australia
before 1997 :-)

Well, the NASCAR with the greenish package is the MAC version, not the PC
version.  That is also NASCAR 1 for the MAC, not NASCAR 2.

Does that mean no NASCAR 2 for the Mac?

Hey guys! While I can't vouch as to whether or not the game is on the
shelves I can tell you how my conversation went with Sierra on Wed. I
called to see what they had to say about a ship date for my pre-order. They
said my copy was on BACK ORDER!!!!! Now last week they used the term
"pre-release", so I immediately got worried. I asked to speak to a CSM and
when she came on the line I put the pressure to her for an answer. I told
her that I had first hand information that the game was in stores and I
asked why me and presumably other pre-orders had not shipped first. She
didn't have an answer to that question but she did admit that the game had
shipped to retailers. Now I don't know if the guy from Ohio actually has
the game or not (I don't - everyone here in Memphis is saying the 18th),
but it does sound like those of us who pre-ordered did get screwed by
Sierra and I told them as much. Like I told the CSM, it won't keep from
buying the game but it made me damn glad I got a Reactor instead of their
new 3D card! I only hope that it does ship with a Rendition Ready copy on
the CD because I sure as hell don't want to have to deal with Sierra
anymore than I have to to get it!

Ok, ONE MORE TIME, NASCAR 2 has NOT SHIPPED yet.  Period.  I am the
Producer of the project, I can tell you it has NOT SHIPPED, no matter what
anyone on-line says.  Why is that so hard to grasp?  I really don't think
it's a very hard concept to understand.  IT HAS NOT SHIPPED YET.  When it
goes Gold, I will post mail here letting everyone know.

The only reason people are saying this is they want attention, be it a
flame or a compliment. Just listen to Adam, he'll tell you when it will be
shipped.

Also Adam, I bought the nascar Racing Strageties&Secrets book a little
while back and saw a picture of the papyrus gang. Which one is you?

   I've noticed that the stopwatch is missing during pit stops in
NASCAR2.  If I go to the arcade views it appears, but it isn't there
in the normal drivers view.  :(

   Also, I'd really appreciate it if the frame rate "Show Counter"
option (on page 64 of the N2 manual) shows up in a future patch.

   I assume its just an artifact of N2's 3D engine, but have you
noticed the other cars inhaling?  No, wait, I haven't been inhaling
something...  ;)

   As you pull up alongside a car, the body panels seem to swell,
almost as if it took a deep breath.  It occurs in both the SVGA and
Rendition modes.  I'll put a replay in alt.binaries.simulators.auto if
you want to see for yourself.

The cars don't inhale.  This is called sheetmetal buckel.  At
superspeedways you may be able to notice the sheetmetal get mashed in on
the door panels as the air pressure changes around the car.  I noticed
that a while back when I was racing around C***te.  It is a nice
touch.  Now if they will just put the nice touches back in that they
took out of NCR1.

   A good theory (with solid basis in fact even! ;), but how come I
can drive past parked cars on the N. Wilkesboro pit lane at 6 mph and
see them doing the same thing?  I'll stick with the "artifacting"
theory.  BTW, sorry if I ruined the illusion for you.  ;)
