!!!! Ok. I got roasted over a couple of flaming emails with the suggestion that you all try out the new DAYTONA. Let me give you my thinking and that will be it. First off I will give you my negatives of the DEMO.. But we must remember its a DEMO. Thats like FREE!!!! NEGATIVES!!!! 1). Number one complaint of mine is not enough laps. We got 2.. I think Papyrus limited us in there demos to like 5 or 9.. I don't remember.. 2). Of Course we all know that the track doesnt resemble DAYTONA in any form. I can live with That.. 3). Yes.. I think a couple of more options could have been enabled. 4). 5MB Download. It took me almost almost 2 minutes to download this using my HUGHES DSS Satelite link at 400,000 BPS!!!! SUMMARY: Yes, thier are a couple of negatives. To some people its the end of the world, to some others they hate SEGA because SEGA has the DAYTONA track and not PAPYRUS!!! We'll Get used to it as I heard that SIERRA/PAPYRUS just lost INYDCAR to SONY!!! POSTIVES!!! 1). WINDOWS 95 vs DOS/4GW - What I was trying to illustrate was that a racing / driving /arcade sim could be implemented in WINDOWS 95 using DIRECTX 3.0. 2). GRAPHICS - The Graphics of DAYTONA.. Again its only my opionion is SUPERIOR to the GRAPHICS of NASCAR. Personally I like Indycar II better than both, but that was a RICK GENTER implementation. The Auto-Sim World Lost a ton when we lost GENTER and his TEAM!!! 3). DRIVERS VIEWING PERSPECTIVE - When I am driving ICR2 its great you are setting in OPEN***pit and you can see and drive left and right!! There is no game better than ICR2 for Driving. NASCAR on the other hand is like driving through a COKE BOTTLE.. You see a little bit of the track and a ROOF line so low you cant see around some corners.. With the SEGA product you have 4 views and you can change them with control keys.. I like the views. Thats its.. I DONT KNOW HOW I EVER WON OVER 227 RACES AT HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and right and you. Next: SEGA RALLY!!! The SEGA RALLY LINK and message from SEGA RACING will be posted this week. SEGA is extending a hand to the SIM RACERS to help them design and imrpove thier racing games... Don Wilshe, IVGA (941) 945-2587 Start the Fires for them FLAMES!!!!!!!!!!! <GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG>

As well you should :-) So what in the hell are they taking the name for? I guess I didn't know this. I suspected that they would at least use the track. Congratulations. I agree on the Genter thing. I guess all of a sudden I don't know how you won all those races either. The only thing I can think of is you were racing a bunch of wussies. I don't suppose they have Hawaii for ICR2 or N2??? I could use some of that action :-) -- Header address intentionaly scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

I am always willing to learn from a master like you. How about a race on HAWAII at Michigan, Atlanta, C***te or Taladega. Surely one of your great talent can backup your talk... Thanks Don Wilshe
Why don't you guys race on a track that requires some real driving skill, and not just good setups? Marty, N.Wikes, ya know something tough. I doubt Greg has access to the best setups ever published, so a track that requires actual driving skill would settle this once and for all. Line 'em up.... Mike

Use the Ace setup. Takes the setup variable out of the picture. It's one drivers skill against the other. Terry
Don maybe I'll show up as well as soon as I get rid of the plug and pray modem in my new copmputer. GT

Surely >one of your great talent can backup your talk... <jest> You guys ought to go to Phoenix and use the fast IROC setup. My mother could win at Michigan and Atlanta with a decent setup. I just need a few minutes to teach her the pedals and the shifting. ;-) </jest>
