rec.autos.simulators

I have suddenly encountered a problem loading cars.dat when my game starts up.
According to the technical tips at Sierra's homepage, I have to reset the game
back to its default settings (or reload if necessary).
 If I reset the game to its default settings will I lose all the track
records, car setups, etc? Is there a way to save the information without
having to wipe everything out and start from ground zero?

Thanks,

I think that all you have to do is delete the gameopts.cfg file in you
NASCAR1 directory.  Then start up the game.  It should default to the
original cars file and directory (hopefully it still exists on your
HardDrive -- else you will need to copy it over from your CD-ROM or
install disk).
