That's really strange! Isn't it true that dirt track racing is popular in Australia, and it's very similar to what we have in the U.S.? Doug G Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
Will it be released in Europe? Anyone know why DTR never made it to Europe? There has been release dates for Europe floating around for DTR but it never made it to the stores afaik. Rod Smelser wrote in message ... >www.ratbaggames.com > > > >

Dirt track, or speedway, racing, has been popular here since the 1930's. Jack Brabham served his apprenticeship in speedway. It is still enormously popular here, Doug....there are more speedway tracks across the country than billabongs! We have annual "test matches" between Aussie and US teams and drivers. When DTR was released I enquired of Ratbag as to why is wasn't being distributed here; answer was that they couldn't come to a suitable arrangement with a domestic distributor. The ludicrous situation exists where, in order for us to own the game, we have to import it!! -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Doug Gordon <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8pod3f$2nk$[email hidden]... > In article <[email hidden]>, > "Bruce Kennewell" <[email hidden]> wrote: > > My friend, it never even made it to AUSTRALIA!! > > Yet it was developed here! > > > > -- > > Regards, > > Bruce Kennewell, > > Canberra, Australia. > > --------------------------- > > That's really strange!
