N99: Hey Sierra!

Hi Sierra/Papy...

First off... thanks for the new game, Nascar 1999. The new tracks are
really neat, as are the trucks, etc.  Of course, like any new release to
date, I'm sure there will be several rough edges that need to be
smoothed up.

The first "rough edge" I've found REALLY takes from gameing experience
for me. That is, the way the AI behaves on the pace lap starts.  At most
tracks I've tried thus far, they really bunch up BAD when the green flag
falls. So bad, that at some tracks the spotter tells me  "there's a car
stopped in turn four". Sure enough, when starting from the back of the
pack, there are actually trucks or cars STOPPING upon the release of the
green flag.

The start of a race should be one of the most exciting aspects as we all
rev up thru the gears, closely packed, jockeying for position. Not so
"as is".  It's very unrealistic, even frustrating... not even close to
what the start of a race should be.  I know you're capable of doing
better... you have in the past.  How about going back to work on this
severe problem, and give us a patch for it?  I, for one, would CERTAINLY
appreciate it. I have been what I consider a good customer for you (I've
purchased/own Sierra/Papy's N1, N1 Trak Pak, N2, BGN Pak, ICR2, N99...),
so PLEASE, help you loyal customers with this glitch.  

Thanks for listening....

In one of the "daytona" tracks, I get a yellow flag at the start due to the
bunching up.
