I heard a rumor that Tantrum Entertainment (makers of NHRA) was/is being
sold to a company that specializes in auto sims. I wonder if this means we
might really see NHRA II some day. Does anyone else know anything about
this?

according to the Motorsims(moto1.net) press release they are making a
new NHRA drag racing sim that might be out by the end of the year.

I am just wondering why you would be looking forward to a sequel to
the absolute worst computer game made in the last 5 years? Just
curious to see if they can outdo themselves?

While the NHRA is certainly no GPL, to say it's the "absolute worst computer
game made in the last 5 years" is crazy and brings a lack of credibility to
your post. It's the best drag racing game available. I think the second
version should be incredible.

Sorry, I misspoke. I meant to say that it is the worst RACING game in
the last 5 years.

Have you ever played Burnout? Obviously not.

Don't count on it.

You are right, AMA Superbike is the worst computer game made in the last 5
years.

I would say Swamp buggy racing has that trophy.
