Cross town Modem ? for NASCAR

This little question concerns regular old NASCAR.EXE modem racing with a buddy cross town. This may be a bug, or just the way it is, I don't know. If one of you crashes and damages your engine, aren't you suppose to be able to get the car the hell off the track so the race can finish under green? <Press ESC> really does nothing for me, physically or mentally. Anyone know what's up with that? It kind of sucks when you're on lap 108 at Talladega, and some idiot rookie decides to go 2 a*** in the tri- oval and plants you kindly into the wall. Sure it gives the fans a thrill, but my engine maker is out a few bucks. What sucks even more is when your friend across town doesn't feel like going the last 80 laps under caution. And you don't want to end and feel like the last 2 hours were for nothing. Besides using MULTI.EXE and the cool towing feature, is it possible to remove your car from the track in a normal modem race? Besides, why hasn't Sierra/Papyrus added the tow truck to v1.3, for us unfortunates who probably won't be able to play NASCAR 2 because we don't have Pentium 2000's.

Since you know how to use MULTI.EXE to do what you want, why would you need a second way to do this? Has RAS not fulfilled its daily grumbling quota? Baffled in Boston, Charlie Heath
