Dear Paul Page from Papyrus,

I don't know if it's that everyone was decapitated or if I'm supposed
to be able to drive right through the pace car, either way these
problems should be fixed before the extended release date of this
game.  I get kind of creeped out looking into other cars and not
seeing a driver, so imagine how I felt when I played this game!  And
when I rammed the pace car in a fit of *** outburst I got to drive
right through it's empty body.  It was kind of cool seeing the axles
an all, but really, that thing should have been scrap!  I have friends
who spit upon Nascar as the redneck hog races compared to the finesse
of Indycar racing, so let's do this one right.  Don't get me wrong,
I'm happy as hell that the demo finally got out, just a little
disappointed.

I though he finished Phoenix, but got knocked out of Atlanta.  But I was
at the race and wasn't paying attention to him so he might of (it's
kinda hard to keep track of everyone on the track when you go.  I had a
scanner so I was busy listening to Bobby Hamilton scream and yell as he
crossed the finish line for his first win.  You should heard Richard
Petty!  Later,
John

  Why would you stop watching a form of racing because that forms' fans
 do not like your form of racing? I am a fan of racing, I watch Nascar,
 Indycar, Indylites, F1, Off-road, Busch, NasTrucks and even the
Plymouth
 Neon Challenge races.
  Don't look at the types of racing by the social class that pays to
 watch them. Watch racing for the "love of the sport". Even though all
 types are somewhat different all of them race side by side and the goal
 is to cross the finish line first.

 P.S. Robby Gordon did very well at Las Vegas. If you look back at the
      Rockingham and Pheonix races, you will see that he was hit from
      behind. Musgrave took Robby out at Rockingham, I think Jeff Burton
      hit him at Pheonix.

  He was not in the Atlanta race. He had an off-road race someplace, I
 don't remember where.

You're right, Elton Sawyer was in the 40 car at Atlanta.

I don't see why people bother posting their opinions at all:)

When I die, I want to go peacefully, like my grandfather in his sleep,
not screaming like the other passengers in his car.

| Y'know it's this attitude that has completely stopped me from watching
| open wheel racing.  

And other people are constantly saying exactly the opposite, that
NASCAR fans keep them from watching NASCAR.

I like Winston cup, CART, F1, indylights and toyota atlantic racing...
if I payed attention to their fans, maybe I'd hate all of them.

| If it's so damned easy, how come Robbie Gordon can't
| keep one on the track?

Did you see any of Robbie's performance in CART last season? I feel
bad for the guy, he had a terrible year. It is clear that he can race-
anything with wheels, in fact. Maybe he's just had some terrible luck.
Anyway, I hope he figures out whats been going wrong.

Anyway, this is not about simulators, and even worse, this is the sort
of talk that divides everybody up. NASCAR isn't going to go away, and
it certainly has no threat from third-place-and-falling,
bleeding-to-death Indycar (what indycar? IRL? CART?). All racing is
good for all forms of racing, and someone can get an F1or NASCAR sim
for their birthday and discover they love racing, all racing.

It is humbling for we americans to recognize that F1 is, event for
event, the world's most popular sport- one *billion* people watch
*every* F1 race, only the top matches in world cup soccer can compete.
So does that make NASCAR fans like you resent F1? Fact is, NASCAR is
making headway all over the world now- I think in some degree because
of Papy's sim, but clearly also because people around the world
already love and understand racing better than the average american,
thanks to F1.

M***is, 'Tis better to join ranks than divide.
