NASCAR pcx files: Post your favorite cars!!!

Please post your favorite NASCAR pcx files here!!!

I would propose, as an alternative to using the bandwidth on the newsgroup, that you send your .PCX's to Leo and Shannon's Homepage (http://www.mindspring.com/~leo/leo.htm). Leo has a lot of great cars on the site, and maybe if you are lucky your design would get nominated for inclusion in one of the IWCCCARS Project sets! (I know, big thrill, but hey, it's better than deleting it!) Just an idea. -- Tony Johns IWCCCARS Project Coordinator http://www.xmission.com/~iwcc/project.htm

Please don't! This isn't a binaries group...

Ditto... If this is not the right place, maybe someone should creat one. alt.binaries.games and alt.binaries.misc have TOO MUCH TRAFFIC to post and look for cars or car sets. I vote to create " rec.autos.simulators.binaries " until then I will continue to use this group because it is the closest group to the subject matter. ******* #28 ***** #7 ***** #51 ***** #70 ******* Dave Long Memphis TN

Tony, I agree totally with you. These pcx files are becoming more and more everyday. Pretty soon this place will become a binaries newsgroup, which of course it is not for. Thanks for the great suggestion hopefully people will listen or hopefully someone will create a rec.autos.simulators.binaries. I would if I knew how! Mike

>Maybe a 'rec.autos.simulators.binaries' group is in order? I don't know >how to go about creating a group, but it seems like a good idea to me. Now that is a fine idea! I used to be really annoyed at inconsiderate people posting binaries that I didn't want and had to download. Using Agent helps a lot, but I still still think of those others that have to suffer these files. 'rec.autos.simulators.binaries' gets my vote!

Well if GP2 is similar we'll have lots of stuff flying around so I think it would be a great idea to start rec.autos.simulators.binaries. Votes please. Max

Here is the quick and dirty approach to solving this problem: There already exists a group alt.binaries.games Post your pcx files in the above group Post an announcement in this group alerting us to the fact that there is a file in alt.binaries.games (remember to mention the subject line). -- **************************** Michael E.

: Here is the quick and dirty approach to solving this problem: : There already exists a group alt.binaries.games : Post your pcx files in the above group : Post an announcement in this group alerting us to the fact that there is : a file in alt.binaries.games (remember to mention the subject line). Okay, I took myself up on my offer. As a test I have posted 3 files to alt.binaries.games. One is the Folgers Ford I drive in NASCAR. It is my enhanced SVGA version over one I found on AOL: Subject: NASCAR: Homage to Tim Richmond (nasc94.zip) Newsgroups: alt.binaries.games One is an homage car I drive in ICR2 to Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead. I know that no one probably cares, but since the band officially quit 12/08/95, I figured it would be an okay test to post: Subject: ICR2: Homage to Grateful Dead car (ind95.zip) Newsgroups: alt.binaries.games The last is the ICR2 Paintkit patch found at ftp.std.com, which only seems to fix the spine coloring problem on the engine cowling: Subject: ICR2: Paintkit Patch (patchpkt.com) Newsgroups: alt.binaries.games If this works for you all out there give us some feedback. If it doesn't I guess we need some feedback also. -- **************************** Michael E.

I read rec.autos.simulators yesterday. I read the announcement message in rec.autos.simulators today and go look for the files in alt.binaries.games and I can't find them. It looks like this isn't going to work for me...

Such is the case here at WMU, as well as most universities I have heard from. This is, I think, to keep us from reading some of the *interesting* groups in the alt.??? section. If you want these groups, find out who your SYSAD is and contact this person. Otherwise, might I suggest that a different rec.autos.??? group be started for these binaries? Just a thought.
