Thanks to Thomas Heineman, the Legends Heat mod for NASCAR Heat is now
available for download from Blackhole Motorsports:
http://irlheat.bhmotorsports.com/LegendsHeat.exe
Note that these aren't stock car legends like in "NASCAR Legends," but
actual Legends cars (similar to dwarfs -- or is it "dwarves?"). Here
are some pics if you'd like to see what it's all about:

The REALLY good news is that this mod is only a 3MB download . . .
it's so small because this is an EXTREMELY simple mod -- all I did was
take Thomas' paint template and added three paint schemes, for a total
of four different cars. I also added a unique "Legends Heat" main
menu page, but otherwise, you're on your own. I did minimal testing,
but I'm pretty sure the installer should work fine (at least as well
as the CTS or IRL mods).
With only four different paint schemes in this mod, you might want to
add your own cars. In order to do so, all you need to do is follow
the instructions in the "advanced.txt" file that was installed in your
NASCAR Heat directory when you applied the 1.3 patch. Just add the
driver name or skin number to the "drivers.txt" file in the "..\NASCAR
Heat\Legends" menu, then drop the carXXX.tex file with your new paint
scheme in the "..\NASCAR Heat\Legends" menu as well, and you should be
up-and-running.
Please -- no e-mails on this one. I will try to supply as much
support as possible, but I will only respond to queries that appear on
the BHMS forums.
Have fun!
