Ok.  I got roasted over a couple of flaming emails with
the suggestion that you all try out the new DAYTONA.  Let
me give you my thinking and that will be it.  First off
I will give you my negatives of the DEMO..  But we must
remember its a DEMO.  Thats like FREE!!!!

NEGATIVES!!!!

1).     Number one complaint of mine is not enough
        laps.  We got 2.. I think Papyrus limited
        us in there demos to like 5 or 9.. I don't
        remember..

2).     Of Course we all know that the track doesnt
        resemble DAYTONA in any form.  I can live with
        That..

3).     Yes.. I think a couple of more options could have
        been enabled.

4).     5MB Download.  It took me almost almost 2 minutes
        to download this using my HUGHES DSS Satelite link
        at 400,000 BPS!!!!

SUMMARY: Yes, thier are a couple of negatives.  To some
        people its the end of the world, to some others
        they hate SEGA because SEGA has the DAYTONA track
        and not PAPYRUS!!!  We'll  Get used to it as
        I heard that SIERRA/PAPYRUS just lost INYDCAR to
        SONY!!!

POSTIVES!!!

1).     WINDOWS 95 vs DOS/4GW - What I was trying to
        illustrate was that a racing / driving /arcade sim
        could be implemented in WINDOWS 95 using DIRECTX 3.0.

2).     GRAPHICS - The Graphics of DAYTONA.. Again its only
        my opionion is SUPERIOR to the GRAPHICS of NASCAR.
        Personally I like Indycar II better than both, but
        that was a RICK GENTER implementation.  The Auto-Sim
        World Lost a ton when we lost GENTER and his TEAM!!!

3).     DRIVERS VIEWING PERSPECTIVE - When I am driving ICR2 its great
        you are setting in OPEN***pit and you can see and drive
        left and right!!  There is no game better than ICR2 for
        Driving.  NASCAR on the other hand is like driving
        through a COKE BOTTLE..  You see a little bit of the
        track and a ROOF line so low you cant see around some
        corners..  With the SEGA product you have 4 views and
        you can change them with control keys..  I like the
        views.  Thats its..   I DONT KNOW HOW I EVER WON OVER
        227 RACES AT HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        and right and you.

Next:   SEGA RALLY!!!

        The SEGA RALLY LINK and message from SEGA RACING will
        be posted this week.  SEGA is extending a hand to the
        SIM RACERS to help them design and imrpove thier racing
        games...

Start the Fires for them FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!! <GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG>

As well you should :-)

So what in the hell are they taking the name for? I guess I didn't
know this. I suspected that they would at least use the track.

Congratulations.

I agree on the Genter thing.

I guess all of a sudden I don't know how you won all those races either.
The only thing I can think of is you were racing a bunch of wussies.
I don't suppose they have Hawaii for ICR2 or N2??? I could use some of
that action :-)

Greg Great!!!!

I am always willing to learn from a master like you.  How about
a race on HAWAII at Michigan, Atlanta, C***te or Taladega.  Surely
one of your great talent can backup your talk...

Thanks

I WANT A PIECE!!!  ;)

Marc

 Why don't you guys race on a track that requires some real driving skill, and not just good setups?
Marty, N.Wikes, ya know something tough. I doubt Greg has access to the best setups ever published,
so a track that requires actual driving skill would settle this once and for all.

Line 'em up....

modem in my new copmputer.
