I hate to get repetitive, but can someone give me the directions for
'converting' Taladega to Daytona. I know that in reality it will still
be Taladega with the Daytona name, but I would really love to run a
'complete' season for a change. Thanks.

  While your at it, do Louden into Indy. Most of us DO want a full season.

Below are instructions to create a "daytona" track to add two more superspeedway races to your
calendar.  The same instructions can be used to create an "Indy" track from Pocono (which most of
the winston cup drivers feel is the track most similar to the brickyard).  Use the names
"daytonab" and "indymd" for the new directories, and they will automatically be included in the
championship season.

To add daytona to the series:
1) create a new directory under c:\nascar\tracks called daytonab
2) copy all files under the talladega directory to the new directory
3) rename all taladega.* files to daytonab.*
4) open the daytonab.dat file using a text editor that won't***up binary files- wordpad in
win95 works fine, and I believe windows 3.1 write will also work.  Use the fins command to locate
all occurences of "taladega" and replace them with "daytonab".  Incidentally, this is where that
"b" at the end is important- both the previous name and the new name must have the same number of
letters.

5) open the daytonab.txt file using any text editor and change the references to Talladega to
Daytona- including location and such.
