Hello, First of all I appreciate your quick responses to questions posted on this group. I haven't seen that anywhere else. Now, has Papy considered a sim that started like this . . . "I'm Steve Evans. From Papyrus, this is NHRA Racing" for the future? I know drag racing is getting bigger and bigger every year and a great sim from you guys would be icing on the cake next to my ICR I and II. Besides what other kind of race cars hit 300mph regularly? Thanks again Does anyone else reading this post agree?

Of course, we can't comment on our future plans, but obvously, we are very aware of the popularity of NHRA. Ed Martin Producer, Series Director NASCAR Racing League Papyrus / Sierra On-Line, Inc.

I agree, whole heartedly! The setup possibilties, make tuning Nascar and ICR look like childs play! And then I could justify my weather station for more than just real life! And, sharpen up the reflexs! And maybe sell off the Dedenbear practice tree! And boy would it be a whole lot cheaper! Gee, if there's blown nitro cars I could cheat and make a phone call on how to tune it! :-) Pete
: childs play! And then I could justify my weather station for more than just real life! And, : sharpen up the reflexs! And maybe sell off the Dedenbear practice tree! And boy would it be a : whole lot cheaper! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This would be wonderful. Or even a Grudge Night sim. Remember Street Rod ][? What a great game. Even to this day, with its outdated graphics, it's still fun. -- []--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==-- . --[] Youth and talent are no match for age and treachery. )) )\\ // _``\`,- '''' ''- ,,,/ / R o R - A l u c a r d .---'a> , < ,<' << ,<, ' / \ `v^w ' , << ,< ' < < / \ ````--' \ ,,,---''/ <' // ii</ \ `\ / <</ / /</ <</
Personally, I couldn't agree more... I've been thinking about a drag racing sim, and a World of Outlaws sim would kick ass too... ahhhh, the possibilities that Papyrus has....

writes: I would LOVE to take a turn in a Funny car against John Force or in a Top Fuel Ride against Berstien and even more so would like to try my hand at Pro Stock behind the wheel of a Dodge. The possibilities are endless. Think about it, compared to all these games where you have to go around long tracks all you really have to change at a drag simm is the scenery cause its always a 1/4 mile track. I tink it would be very challenging to have to set u pa car to perform at various tracks because of weather/ humidity/ altitude, stuff like that. The sim would sell rather well if it was pushed in the drag racing tv shows and magazines. Gene
That program would RULE! Make it and they will come... -- Regards, Disclaimer: Scott D Fraser The opinions made up here are my own. Development Engineer My mixed up views in no way represent 3.8L Engine Performance Development those of my employer.

I would love to see a drag race sim. It would be great to have it progress in stages to allow challenges throughout, so that you can really never 'master it' every time. Driver strength options, or having several classes on the same sim would seem advantageous. Diffferent view settings would also be a plus, not just one from say the drivers seat. Maybe an arial.. I agree, If you build it, they will come! Just don't create it so that you need a Pent. 1000 to use!
