A dirt track simulator?

I grew up beside a dirt track in WV. This would make a great racing simulator, IMO. The Papyrus Nascar sim has got to be the most challenging, and interactive game to date. Great job Papyrus!
This bit me last night at Pocono. Both left side tires knocked out in a multicar collision (looked a little like the end of the BGN race at Homestead Sunday), only this was lap 40 of 100. Anyway, best I could do was wiggle the car around the turn I was 'stuck' on. Soon as I got near the beginning or end of the turn, the car would slide to the grass, and I could proceed no further. Wore the RR tire out trying to get out of that turn. Max speed I could attain was 8 mph - not very realistic - I was willing to suffer more quarter damage if my tires flapped around :-(
