Well, played it for about 10 mins.

I only have one word for it....AWESOME.

Okay more words:

1. You can get it at  http://www.racesimcentral.net/

2. It is in svga only.

3. Supposedly dos only too...I haven't tried it in win95 yet.

4. You can race at two tracks Atlanta and Watkins Glen.

5. You race against 7 other cars(i think). Car #'s 2,3,7,17,18,22,71

6. The graphics are just awesome. Some options are inop, like the mirror.
The clouds in the sky look good. The stands finally look like they are
next to the track instead of part of it. As you go through the turns the
graphics outside of the track move in and out  of view. Cars have no
drivers and look kinda extreme 3D. But much better graphics.

7. Sound: Awesome. The spotter tells you everything, car high-low, clear
high-low, pace car off the track, green go go go, crash in turn ???, race
back to the flag, etc......

8. You can't set up the car, but it looks like it will be easier.

9. Univbe will be supported. Yes!!!!

10. Options, Options, Options,

11. I have posted the readme file in alt.binaries.simulators.autos for
those of you who can't dl the file yet.

12. Any questions will be answered to anyone who has them. Email or post
here....

Actually, if you hit the M key while on the track, the mirror will
appear!

Yes it's there, but it's not the finished version.  All three frames of the
mirror display the same image, which is also quite small I might add.
Basically I've found the mirror to be useless in the demo.

I had a problem installing NascarII. The direction said unzip into a
test direcotry with pkunzip -d run install so the poper files could be
installed into their directorys. I did this and all I got was empty
directorys in the nascar2 directory. But if I run setup to configure
my sound board in the test directory and then run the program from the
test directory everything runs great.

Is anyone else having this problem.

I have to agree with you on all points, makes waiting for the rest of it
even harder!
