PAPY RACING TIPS: Any good?

I just loaded the Nascar track pack on my pc. I was looking through the literature included with it and saw NASCAR Racing Strategies And Secrets book by Lee Buchanan in Papyrus' catalog. Has anyone bought this book and is it worth the $19.95 they want for it. I 'm new to Nascar but can't get enough of it so far! Thank you for your input. Scott

Hi Scott, I bought the book after using Nascar for about 6 months and loved it. It helps me figure out the tracks, like good speeds to try and hit in the corners and such. It's definitly helped me avoid hitting the wall as much when I begin testing at a new track. In my opinion the book was worth it.(although I got it for $15.89 at CompUSA) John The opinions expressed here are my own - noone else wants them.

for $16.99 with my discount card.I have seen it at Comp USA for 17-18 bucks .I think the book was pretty good it gives you insight on all the tracks and the best way to drive them(what lines to run).Also it gives you a CD-rom with a bunch of utilities but you can get most of them off the net .If you are having trouble with setting up a car for the tracks or need help trying to figure out the line than get the book.But you can get it Cheaper than That!!!

Scott, The book is definitely worth the money, for the great set-up problem solving chart, if for nothing else. There are a lot of good hints and ideas in the book, including a track-by-track analysis and breakdown. The set-up chart helped point me in the right direction and I'm now able to race with opponents at 100% strength. There are also plenty of hints for modifying your season schedule, adding night races, running multiple seasons at once, etc. Kirn Cromur

I 'm new to Nascar but can't get enough of it so far! Yes, its outstanding espicially if your new to Nascar racing. Lee covers all 16 tracks in detail chapters on car setup, driving and modem and network racing. Theres also a cd-rom included with some utilities, car setups and sets. The alltime car set is one of my favourites. Well worth the 20 bucks.

I haven't been able to run the same as his cornering speeds...it SUCKS! [Not the book, just my speeds] ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

Scott; I bought the bought at a software store for $9.95. It was well worth the money. Lots of good tips and it comes with a CD-ROM that has some cars on it as well as some utilities.
