Kinlet Park alpha (that MEANS alpha!) out

Kinlet Park? It's a GPL track based on (real) roads near me; it's
driveable; it has a few trackside objects and some pretty stupid AI.
That's about it. Oh, and there's no .dat (use Silverstone's) and no
install program (come on, that's not hard).

If you can be bothered, it's under 2 megs to d/l (because of the
aforementioned lack of prettifying) can lap it in 1:28 with a Ferrari
set up for Watkins Glen, so I expect someone will do a 1:19 or
something within 20 minutes... <g>

We always joked about modeling the roads around our office and
having a company sponsored street race.  But we always ran into
realism problems ;)  because it was clear that no one who
doesn't drive here would believe how bumpy and undulating the
roads are hereabouts.

("Bumpy" - As in: I couldn't drive at speed on a _new_ road
section at night before the street lamps were put up because my
headlights were pointed down and up most of the time... ;)

Well, madcowie did some pretty good rally stages for GPL, so I don't
really see the problem <g>
