N2: Ned Jarret Comments COOL!

I got Nascar (original) about a year ago, and went through the pains of frustration getting up to speed. I spent many a night crashing just for fun! Then i got serious, bought a wheel, practiced, got reasonably good at it. In January, continuing the serious mode I bought N2, and have found I have much more of a challenge to win let alone passing. Now my comment really is, I was frustrated the other night and went into "crash mode" demo derby style when I hit the pace car. I thought Ned Jarret was going to come out of the spotter's section and slap my face! Man I mean he was livid! I LOVE this SIMULATION! Note I didn't say GAME. Anyone else miss out on this by not goofing around in N2? I laughed so hard. Is there some more things I have missed? The comments Jarret should be used more in other incidents like: Driving in too low in a turn just inside opponents rear quarter panel, which no matter how many times you try it, will only cause a crash, or yourself to spin out and then crash. Damn fine job there Papyrus... get me a patch so I can save my race when I get another 20 minutes to play... I try to read this group, but the list only lasts about 3 days so I miss a bunch. I cannot see the binary version for this group either is there really one? -------Thanks Stinger

Man I mean he was livid! I LOVE this SIMULATION! OK, people, one more time...NED JARRETT IS NOT THE SPOTTER!!! It doesn't even SOUND like Ned...! If you ACTUALLY had read the manual, it's a guy by the name of Ronald Gaines. Yeah, we noticed. It is THE SIM in my opinion. I have N1 and ICR2, but neither compares to N2 (I thought N1 was THE SHIT, until N2 came out). I bought ICR2 to practice road course racing. Got pretty good too... Yes, there is an alt.binaries.autos.simulations. There are cars and pictures posted over there. You're welcome.... Jimmy

The spotter's voice is actually that of Ron Gaines, who did some spotting in a former life. He does sort of sound like Ned though. God Bless, Steve

Watch an episode of "Inside NASCAR" (or even a REAL Winston Cup Race on TNN) and then just TRY and tell us it doesn't sound EXACTLY like Ned! Randy Wilson

It sound a lot more like Benny Parsons rather than Ned Jarrett. Kyle Langston

>Watch an episode of "Inside NASCAR" (or even a REAL Winston Cup Race >on TNN) and then just TRY and tell us it doesn't sound EXACTLY like >Ned! Definitely sounds most like Dale Jarrets's brother.

> Watch an episode of "Inside NASCAR" (or even a REAL Winston Cup Race > on TNN) and then just TRY and tell us it doesn't sound EXACTLY like > Ned! > Randy Wilson OK, here's the deal. I have been around racing since 1970 Believe me, I KNOW what Ned sounds like; I've watched more than my fair share of races. We (my dad actually) owned a Late Model car for, like, 22 years. I have watched Winston Cup(Grand Nationals before they were Winston Cup), BGN, Modifieds, Late Model Sportsman (before they became the Busch Grand Nationals), Trucks, Hooter's Cup, All-Pro, Goody's Dash, and countless other series on TV. To me, this spotter on N2 does NOT come close to sounding like Ned Jarrett. Sure, ol' Ron's got a Southern accent, but that's because that's where NASCAR comes from: the South. So, I believe Papyrus felt that they had to get a guy with that type of Southern drawl to be the spotter. Ever listen to someone like Ray Evernham on the radio? He's from Jersey; he's got a distinct accent. Or how 'bout Jeff Fuller..? There's someone you ought to listen to on the radio (from Massachussetts).

>It sound a lot more like Benny Parsons rather than Ned Jarrett. >Kyle Langston Actually, it sounds alot like Glen Jarrett to me (Ned's other son)

>>It sound a lot more like Benny Parsons rather than Ned Jarrett. >>Kyle Langston >Actually, it sounds alot like Glen Jarrett to me (Ned's other son) I totally agree with Chris. I could have swore it was Glen, but guess not. Mike

Total so far: 5 Jarret's (Glenn & Ned) 1 Parsons 1 Ron Gaines. Randy Wilson

<Snip> (changing the subject, I know) If you want to (try) to listen to someone, how 'bout Ward Burton? (said by a Philadelphia native 'wit a dialect all his own) --John Melair They're not bugs! They're random features! ------------------------------------------------------ Sorry, but to try to get away from all the damn spammers, I had to change my email information, like everyone else. reply to johnm973 (at) voicenet.com, thanks

Couldn't have been Benny, he was too busy at the fridge. LOL Bill Hutson

Sheesh, I may be guilty of gettin' to wordy about how I got "Mr. Spotter" to say some neat lines, besides "car high'" "car low" "looks like we lost that motor" and the infamous "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" >> heard often at Phoenix As far as I'm concerned it sounds "close enough" to Ned or Glen. If ya-all don't think so, then FINE. Looks to me the polls are in my favor as to who others think it sounds like. copied from another post (sorry Randy) I have the book, I don't like the fact someone implied I don't have one: IE = Pirate Copy. This may not have been Intentional, but I have had enough problems with 95 r2 and the T2 that finding the page about who is the spotter, Criminy sake, give me a break. The fact that it may sound like Ned or whoever, enhanced the sim to me. Wether this was intentional or not? I compared the voice to Nas1 (from memory) since I gave the d*mn sim to my brother, tell me who was on that Intro???? Didn't he even say "Im Ned Jarret, From Papryrus this is Nascar racing"? This allowed on to think that N2 just expanded his role in the sim.. Still -- -------Thanks Stinger <---deletia--->
