new FTP site. The problems with FTPing the file are now hopefully fixed;
those who still encounter problems, leave me mail and I will correct them.
Following is the text of ICRNAS.DOC which is included in the .ZIP package:
I C R N A S C A R S E T
(c)1994 Smiling Llama Software
for use with IndyCar(tm) Racing
(c)1994 Papyrus Publishing
ICRNAS3.ZIP - Should contain NASCAR.DAT, DRIVERS.TXT and ICRNAS.DOC
To install:
- Go to your IndyCar Racing main directory.
- Type "cd cars" (sans quotation marks)
- Type "md nascar". This creates the car data directory.
- Type "cd nascar". Then type "dir." You should be in the
C:\INDYCAR <or whatever>\CARS\NASCAR directory.
- Copy NASCAR.DAT and DRIVERS.TXT from wherever you unzipped the file.
- Start up your IndyCar Racing sim. At the main menu, go to the
OTHER option. You should see CAR SETS at the end of the list.
- Select CAR SETS. Select NASCAR in place of CARS93.
- You're all set!
The updated DRIVERS.TXT is adjusted to represent the drivers' abilities.
You will also notice that the engine/chassis types have been altered to
Winston Cup makes (Ford Thunderbird, etc.). You may change your car to
the desired make at the options menu.
Your IndyCar has also been altered. The car is painted in primer gray
and is numbered 38 in the field. Those of you with Paintkit may paint
your car as you like it. If you do not have this program, please send me
e-mail with your preferences and I will design a car for you.. FREE! :-)
Happy racing!

UPDATE: 15 July 1994
Silly season has erupted! The 98 Derrike Cope Fingerhut Ford has been
replaced by the 8 Jeff Burton Raybestos Ford, and the 12 Chuck Bown Ford
is now the 41 Joe Nemechek Meineke Mufflers Chevy. Also, new paint for
the 43 Wally Dallenbach STP Pontiac. User car is now primer gray with the
white numeral 38 already provided.

UPDATE: 1 July 1994
The drivers.txt file has been updated to enhance the realism of the NASCAR
drivers. This could only be accomplished by running several races, but
I think it's more accurate now.
Other changes: New Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt car paint jobs.
