Okay, okay, what's all this talk about full detail in VGA mode running Nascar
on a 486DX2/66??? :-) Is my machine that much of a sloth??? I have a DX2/66
with 8Meg of Ram, Cirrus Logic 54xx with 1Meg, 128K internal cache. I run
Nascar with car detail, paint/skids, smoke/dirt, and Horizon on only. This is
the only config for my machine to run Nascar "SMOOTH AS SILK". If I turn
anything else on, then when I'm up close and personal drafting I get serious
Chop! Help me find the perfect set up please!

I have a similar setup although I have a 256K cache and it runs very smooth
when I use the "-f" switch to start. This changes from digital to synthesized
sound which I don't feel is too heavy of a trade off. I also can add a few
more options this way and get what feels to be above 20 fps except in a spin.
Whenever I get into a spin, my machine slows to a crawl.
Hope this helps.

Try turning off smoke. That's what's causing the slowdown when you spin.
