   It is not that anyone doesn't care, just that we have all moved on and
probably don't even have even a shortcut left from N3.  

  Next...I never heard of those tracks...I was assuming they were just
different graphic versions of Bristol for Nascar Legends and just guessing
about aims...Either Michigan or American Int. Motor Speedway, which was
just a Daytona clone wasn't it?  
  Your best bet would be to google for N3 leagues and see what their
homepage links lead you to.  Even tho I "had" something like 50 or 60 N3
tracks...I just don't have any fresh info on what you are seeking
so....like the others...didn't reply.  good luck searching,  since your
previous links are gone, I would be very suprised If you find them all.  
Heck F1 2k2 is just a year old and already many links for mods and tracks
have disappeared because of F1 Challenge's release.  So if a sim that is
only 1 generation is lacking 'completeness,' I suspect something that is 4
generations old and several years out of date will be very tough to track
down anything, let alone obscure add-ons.

Dave,

AIMS is actually Alabama International Motor Speedway, aka Talladega.  I've
already gone the Google route with limited success, these four are the only
ones I wasn't able to find.  If it helps, I've included the readme from one
of the tracks re: the "project".

I can understand about moving on, but I would have thought that someone out
there somewhere is a "pack rat" like myself and has these laying around
somewhere, or knows where they can be had.

WINSTON CUP 1972-2001 Calendar Project
This is one of the tracks that make up a complete set of calendars created
by Chris Dworjan for NASCAR3.  The entire set includes all Winston Cup
seasons since RJ Reynolds became title sponsor of the series in 1972.  For
the calendars, I had to do LARGE amounts of research and HUGE amounts of
time to track down all the information I needed to make this set as accurate
as possible.  Because of this some of the tracks are not default N3 tracks,
they require N2/N99 or NL in order to be complete.  In many cases though, if
you do not have one of these you could simply change the name in the
calendar to point to the current version of the track.  The all.cal file
includes all of these tracks so they might be raced in single race mode.

TO INSTALL:
Create a darlin00 directory in your NASCAR3 tracks directory and copy your
NASCAR 3 darlingt.dat to the darlin00 directory.
Extract the zip to darlin00 directory and run the install.bat
Don't forget to get the new all.cal from Racing Design or add the darlin00
to your current one.

THANKS TO:

allowing me to convert it so it will not overwrite your original N3
Darlington.
Brad Wrenn for the patch that allows the Darlington 2000 track to be run
under all video modes.

Any questions should be directed to Chris Dworjan at

suggestions on how to make the project better.

Some of the sites listed in your post are long gone.

I would recommend going to http://www.simracingconnection.com

If a track isn't listed there, it probably isn't available anymore.

get lost punk

You will be the only one getting lost in your search for 1983 games and
their add ons.

What does N3 offer you that subsequent versions dont exactly....?

Are you in a community that retro games for example...?

Each to their own but your petulant "Oh woh is me nobody will help me to
find this N3 stuff " post deserved a pathetically immature retort....you got
it,dont bleat child.
