This is just a quick little nothing question.. I was racing my IndyCar
at Phoenix last night and was pushed into the turn 2 wall by someone...
There's no bug to report or anything, but I noticed something...
I've seen people talking about the generic "65" Unocal ball at the tracks..
I just figured that Unocal didn't want the 76 ball being used.. But at
Phoenix in turn 3, there's a Unocal banner on the wall and it has the 76
ball, not 65... I was wondering if they said you could use it on the wall
but not the sign, and why...

We have replaced the generic "65" ball with the Unocal "76" ball at a
number of the tracks in "The Patch". :-) It was a timing issue on the
original DOS version; we got the license too late to put it everywhere it
had to go.
