I want to be able to use the joystick to turn and the pedals to accel and
brake.  Wot should I set it up in the control panel as to get this to work
succesfully?

I have found that using the wheel in SBK 2000  is too wierd for me and would
like to try it using that setup.

Any help would be appreciated to make this work.

I haven't played SBK 2000, but I think the game needs to support
inputs from multiple controller ID's for that to work.
Some games only support one, and some games go even further than that
by only supporting the controller on ID1.
I ran into this problem with Mechwarrior 3, and have to move my wheel
out of ID1 to be able to play it with the joystick.

Ah, one of my favorite topics.  It depends on the game.
For Nascar 3 this will work if you configure your pedals
as joystick ID 1 and your joystick as joystick ID 2.
This is done in the Game Controllers/Advanced window.
You have to do it every time because for some reason,
at least with my Logitech WM Extreme Digital 3D, it
always boots up at ID 1 and the CH Pedals come in
on ID 2. So you have to swap them prior to playing N3.
.
Dirt Track Racing only supports one joystick ID so
this combo can't be used.  Whatever joystick is in
ID 2 is ignored.  In GPL, IIRC,  you have to put your
joystick in 1 and your pedals in 2.
.
Both my controllers are USB.  I have the CH Pro Pedals.
I wish I could play DTR with this setup :-(
.
www.chproducts.com has been promising a combo driver
which will allow both controllers to appear on a single
joystick ID.  Bit they have been promising this for quite
some time.
.
I wish Logitech would write one since they don't sell
pedals separately, for chrissakes.  BTW their "use external
pedals" checkbox doesn't work for me.  It is grayed out
when I use USB for both controllers.  When I put the
joystick in the game port, it is not grayed out, but
it doesn't detect my pedals when I check it.
.
But this is all probably some grand marketing strategy
to make sure all your controllers are Logitech, or CH,
or whatever.
.
I am hoping future games will provide multiple joystick
support by default but we will see.
