Nascar trucks.....Question from the UK

Was the nascar truck racing an addon for N3 or a stand alone product? In the real world , Is truck racing held as regular as the normal racing? do the engine types, tyres,restrictor plate rules etc all apply?

It was an add-on. Now unavailable according to Sierra. It's held regularly during the normal Spring-Fall season. Not as many races as Winston Cup or Busch, but then it's a smaller, younger series still gaining momentum. No restrictor plates at the one superspeedway (Daytona) race held each year since the trucks have such poor aerodynamics compared to the cars. Don't know nothing about the engines or tires. Someone else can fill that in... :) -- ------------------------------------- Morgan Vincent Wooten http://home.earthlink.net/~morganv00/ ------------------------------------- "Semi" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9e1fcn$htr$[email hidden]... > Was the nascar truck racing an addon for N3 or a stand alone product? > In the real world , Is truck racing held as regular as the normal racing? do > the engine types, tyres,restrictor plate rules etc all apply? > > >

Sierra sells it now in a package that includes Nascar 3, Nascar Legends, And the Craftsman Truck Series. Gotta buy all 3 or nothing even if you already have one of the 3 What a rip! I just ran into that and I found someone in this group who had the standalone disk and sold it to me. They must be trying to dump all their old product at once now that Nascar 4 has come out.

Yea, but the Nascar Acceleration pack only costs the price of Nascar3 standalone version. -- eFalcon keyboard chart in PDF format http://storm.prohosting.com/~nos146/ef4_keys.zip

Not anymore unless you find it on some special sale. N3 19.99, Accelleration pak 39.99 to 49.99 here in Texas.

The truck series is intended to be a stepping stone to the Busch and Winston Cup series. The trucks are built on the same chassis as the BGN and WC cars with a higher and shorter, in length, roof section. I'm not sure about the weight requirements (minimum weight) but I think they are required to weigh 3400 lbs (US). The engines and tires are the same as the Winston Cup division. The trucks are so aerodynamically disadvantaged that they are limited as to how fast they can go. The trucks can run flat out at tracks like Michigan and California and drafting is a big part of the racing at these tracks. I have watched Jack Sprague practice at South Boston Speedway and these trucks are nothing to laugh at. They are unbelievably loud and low. Sprague was covering some serious ground at SBS. I grew up watching races at South Boston Speedway, so I know what is fast there and that truck was hauling ass. The trucks will be at SBS in September and I will definitely be there. "Morgan V.

Some of the truck races I have seen are some of the most amazing races I have seen. I remember seeing my first truck race on TV and Louisville I think it was and those guys were banging and bashing and knocking each other all over the place. It was a awesome race to watch. Too bad they do not race there anymore "turnco" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b054a43_2@newsfeeds... > The truck series is intended to be a stepping stone to the Busch andWinston > Cup series.

So are these traits reflected in the add on? Also, was Nascar Legends an add-on or a Stand alone?

Nascar Legends was a stand alone...it too is available in the 3pack of N3/NL/CTS(trucks) which is called The Acceleration pak. You might find NL on ebay but I don't think too many places stock it these days. The uspits, whenever they get back up...have a 1970ish Trans AM patch for NL.
