Hello Drag Racers:
All last night we tested the IHRA Patch. You most likely can find that
patch about
8 or 9 PM EST on the www.whra.com, www.shra.com or www.bethsoft.com sites.
Maybe
even the www.ihra.com. This patch greatly improves the game and shows
the
continued commitment of Bethesda to get it right. We are now gonna focus on
the
remaining issues and mutliplayer play.

IHRA Drag Racing Patch 1.01
12/13/2000
-----------------------------------------------------
This patch will update your IHRA version 1.00 installation to version 1.01.
How to patch the game:
After downloading the patch, double-click on the ihra_patch101.exe icon to
run it.
The patch installer may take a few minutes to complete the update, so please
be patient.

to their defaults. This is necessary to resolve certain issues and we
apologize for the inconvenience.
