Hey Bart,
didn't you see the :-) at the end of Cisko's challenge? I interpreted his
challenge as a one-on-one over MPlayer when it's up and running.
So I say to you,***"get real and start acting like an ***", you should
get real and lighten up :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I'm really having fun with Burnout, but still, no***pit view is a downer.

Note my real email address is day AT net-connect.net
Anybody have any cool repalys yet if so,I'd like to see them.
Also anybody know if the AI can crash or smoke the tires at the line?
?????.....Miket.....?????
The AI cars won't crash unless you hit them. The AI cars will slip the
tires. They feather the throttle pretty quickly but they do lose the time.
The ability level will affect how often and how much it infuences the run.

Pete,
I think you got the best time I've heard of. Without cheating, we have a
5.3, 270+ mph funny car. That's the fastest I've seen here.

But where's the riding mower we talked about!?
Game looks great! Good job Brent...

Give it a try! I don't know a lot about drag racing and I had a great
time in a 16 player game of it. I DQ'd myself (shit...revenge), but it
was still a blast.
Speaking of speeds! What kind of times are people running?
My best so far is 5.09 at 296 miles per hour.
Pete
The best i have done is a 6.15 at 218...

Header intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
Absolutely! Not doing a proper burnout can add hundreths to your time. The
key is warming them up the right amount. It takes a bit of practice to get
it right. With high torque cars (that will push through a static burnout,
you have to do a rolling burn and then back up and do another if you want
(you can also burn in reverse I suppose).
The tires do deform and increase in size. This is adjustable by the user.
You can also put "dragster" tires on any of the other cars.

There is even a "driver cam" replay where you can watch yourself trying
to control the car, ought to be funny the first time we try a full pass
mode run in a flopper<g>!
Even engine blowups and fires are modeled, should be fun trying to stop
a ball of flame from 200+ mph :)!
