Actually Kyle, if you unpack the sound.dat file of the Nascar2 game, one
of the spotter speaking file actually says "3wide in the tri-oval"
(something that looks like that). I still hope that it would be
incorporated into the BGNB trackpack but it didn't happened. Well the only
thing we could do is to hope that it will be implanted into the next NROS
patch. It's not really difficult. Just make it play when the PC see that
3cars are less than 0.1 second close when going into the tri-oval. Hope to
see you on NROS !

With great respect,
May the downforce be with you,
Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-)

Looking low and looking high also fall into this category. They are in the
sound.dat file but never played. This should also be reasonable to
implement - play these sounds when an AI car is gaining in speed or equal in
speed and just off the rear quarter panel. If a car is losing speed and in
this position, then the spotter can assume that YOU made the pass. /TomH

Tom,

Some of the sound files are there to be triggered by events from the
NROS servers, and others are based on your computer's opinion of the
situation.

When it comes to asking to spotter to detect if a car is gaining, equal,
or losing speed, is like asking for miracles as far as NROS is
concerned.

Look at a replay from NROS. (I hear you need the track pack for this to
work)

Cars will be going 150 one moment, and 450 the next, and back to 150.

It's all based on packet rates and warps.
