What Papy means by this is that all the tracks, cars, and drivers in the game have been updated for the '99 season. The state it a little more clearly on the inside of the front cover "All 28 tracks have been updated to reflect the 1999 NASCAR season." But, I do agree that the statement on the back is a somewhat misleading. it was probably put there to snag suckers who are to ignorant or stupid not to read the entire box or realize that there are more 28 tracks. I'm not trying to insult or offend anyone who bought N3 because they thought it contained ALL of the tracks, but big companies rely on the fact that most consumers are idiots who can be persuaded by vague product claims and flashy packaging.

How the hell did this get dug out of the archives at this late date??? Marc "Yondu" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:38af4bfc.229278451@news... > Marc Collins wrote: > >Using these tracks is, I believe, as illegal and immoral as Sierrastating
