How do I call for a tow?

7 posts by 7 people · 26 Aug 1996 - 29 Aug 1996

Been trying to figure this one out for a while: How do you call a tow truck in Nascar Racing? I hear people talk about it quite a bit, but see no mention of it in the documentation.

The reason you don't read it in any documentation is because there is no tow truck. Although there will be one in Nascar 2. Mark Light

The Multi version of Nascar for Hawaii has a tow truck. Use Alt-I to get it. It will automatically pick you up if you wreck and come to a complete stop (and have engine damage?). The offline version of Nascar doesn't have a tow truck but Nascar2 will. Mike Radler
Uh excuse me, but there is a TOW TRUCK, in Nascar Multi Now!!! If your running multi from hawaii just press Alt. I and the Truck will come and Pick you up...just ask John Andretti he knows all about Tow Trucks!!!
Doug, I think the tow only works in hawaii. I'ts "alt I". that will get you a tow while running on the hawaii network. I have never tried it on nascar alone. Wallyd

I've been running multi at home, haven't connected to Hawaii....yet. The tow feature seems to work fine but I've never seen an actuall Tow Truck. Is there one when you're on Hawaii? -- Dennis D'Avila ACS Mechanical Design Delco Electronics 317-451-4707 Murphy's Law: Keep your boss's boss off your boss's back.

No, you just have to pretend, just like years ago when you played with Matchbox cars. Dave (davids) Sparks Late Night League http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html
