List of sims that most of us would like to see:

'90s era Bernie's World of Hype (F1) sim  <-- gotta make this one
'80s era Formula One sim  <-- with turbo effect please!!
Indy Racing League (IRL) sim  <-- not one that I would buy, but I think
others would like to see this one
World of Outlaws sim  <-- would be nice to see this one
IKF Enduro/Sprint Kart/Speeway Kart sim  <-- MicroProse didn't do a good
job with theirs, so somebody else should give it another try
'80s era Le Mans/endurance/IMSA sim  <-- I'd love to take one of those WM
Peogeot's for a spin
'90s era Le Mans/endurance/IMSA sim  <-- should include the Rolex 24,
providing Sega gives up the rights to Daytona
Rally sim  <-- there might be one already one, though
NASCAR Trucks sim  <-- I don't really care for this idea, but others might
like it
Can Am sim  <-- I don't know much about Can Am, but I have heard that a
lot of people would like this idea
Sports car sim  <-- Something similar to NFS/NFS II, but more like a sim
than an arcade game. Should include sport cars like McLaren F1,
Lamborghini Diablo VT, Porsche 911 Turbo, Lister Storm, Ferrari F50, Dodge
Viper.
Touring car sim  <-- should be fun
School bus racing sim  <-- I heard that they race these in NC. Kind of a
stupid concept, but it should be something funny.

I resemble that comment about North Carolina.  We rednecks down here do
indeed race school buses.  Not only that, but competition is very close
as all buses are governed to 35mph and have the exact same suspension
setup.  That's right!  To be more competitive through the turns, you
have to get all the heavier kids moved to the side of the bus toward the
apex.  Yep, it's white knuckle e***ment to be sure.

My patented move is to extend the red "stop" sign when I am being passed
on the left.  When the passing driver gets ticket-shy because he thinks
he's passing a stopped school bus, I reclaim my spot.  Also, I have all
the kids sit near the pack of the bus, because at high speed, this
causes the rear end to be looser through the turns.  And, as even us
North Carolina, Bus-racin' folks know, a loose bus is a fast bus!!

How would you adjust bias on the bus?  Put more kids on the right or
left sides of the bus!  Shock adjustement should be no problem if they
are anything like the school buses I used to travel on!

(http://www.racesimcentral.net/) that there is a group
forming a series for tandem-axle dump trucks in West ***ia.  ONLY in
West ***ia.....

Full of kids or not? You are a sick puppy:).  Come to think of it,
those kids in NC appear that all the *** in their head is drawn to
the right side of their heads, so who knows?

Think of the advertising you could stick on one of these things!
I hear Bill France is discussing his plans for Bus Racing with
BlueBird and GMC, though rumor has it that the BlueBird has a big
aerodynamic advantage over the GMC.......

There we go....dump truck racing on ovals. Fill it half up with trash or
dirt, and then move it around to adjust wedge and all the other weight
stuff.

        Haven't you ever seen Smokey and the Bandit II(Think its that one).
They are racing Semis (just the cab section) at Talladega. Strange. Very
strange.

Is there such a thing as shopping kart racing? If you wanna get really
silly, make a sim out of that. Tracks would include Walmart, Kmart, and
Super Kmart.

Nope, it was at Atlanta, and it was the VERY FIRST GATR (Great American
Truck Racing) Series race ever held, back in 1983.  This series
developed into tube chassis trucks racing on dirt powered by the big Cat
diesels.

This is very common in Europe.  After spending 3 years watching Sky Sports,
 I have come to the conclusion that is it has wheels, Europeans will race
it and Sky will broadcast it.  

Actually, it was quite entertaining.   Volvo seemed to be into it big time.
 They have a setup where water is sprayed on the front disk brakes to keep
the rotors from frying. And they run in excess of 110 mph.  Road courses!!

Don't knock it till you watch it. ( then feel free )

Must be, 'cause how else would people get so good at it.  As for me, I
usually end up hitting the bulk buy bags of rice at the end of the
produce aisle.....
