I was watching RPM 2 Night's live broadcast from the new Daytona USA attraction, and
they showed Richard Petty driving on Papyrus' sim.

Well the funny thing was that he was driving on Daytona . Full blown Daytona track .

Did anyone else see this??

What gives?

I guess we know why we'll never have Daytona for our own games.

Yes

It was specially made for Daytona USA.

The reason you don't have it in a real game is that Sega owns the rights to the name until
April 97...nothin' will change until that expires.  Ed has spoken about this quite often..I
figured I would save Ed a post<G>. :)

 So did I.  It's there...  It was like a dagger in my heart. There's got
to be
a way to make this work for all parties involved.  Until then I refuse to
buy SEGA hardware or software until they release their maniacal hold on
that license !
