icr2 and nascar. i tried to start a new season in icr2 and indy didn't
show up on the schedule.  do i have to change a variable in a text file
or what?

If memory serves me, there is a file called "Calendar" in the ICR directory.
This file contains the dates of each race. Add a line like this:

5 27 Indianapolis

Put it between the correct dates (the 5 is for May and 27 is the day) of the
other races around it. IF I MISSED SOMETHING, Someone point it out!!! I'm
pretty sure this is how to do it though.

In addition to Craig's reply;

Two additional parameters are used in the CALENDAR file.  The line in
question should look like

7 6 0 0 Indianapolis

From experimintation, the two zeros seem to be;
(1)  placeholders for race distance / weather differences between first
and second race of the season at various tracks

(2) the 'day/night' switch for tracks with that capability (night=1)

I'm also open to correction, but this seems to work for me.
