I am a huge fan of nascar racing (both real and sim) and have done little in
my spare time but race my buddy over the modem. (BTW, we are going to run
the full season, each track on the weekend of the race and see who is where
in the standings at the end of the season.) As much as I love WC racing, I
follow the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with much more enthusiasm. I'm
partial to short track racing (I remember when Darlington was a HUGE track)
and would dearly LOVE to see Sierra/Papyrus release a Truck sim. I know
squat about computuer programming but it stands to reason that the majority
of the work necessary to create the sim has all ready been done. (Yes? No?)
Does anyone think this may happen in the future? As popular as Nascar racing
is and as popular as Truck racing is becoming, I would think a profit could
easily be made with a Truck sim (Yes? No?) Just hoping for for the sim that
would probably end up buried with me.....

I heard or read somewhere that someone had created a converter for
Nascar 1 that changed the cars to trucks(I think it mighta been
"The Pits"),but I never actually saw it. If so, maybe the cat who
created it could make one for N2.
Can anyone verify this?

Late model outlaw, and/or the Stadium off-road truck sim I suggested 3
years ago. And yes I'm turning awfully blue by now :)
