here is what Sierra told me when I asked them about the BGN track pack :"BGN series should release very soon. ( I can't give an exact date for :legal reasons, but start looking for it). :<cut> :As far as I know Sierra's Papyrus design group will continue the :Nascar :series. EA Sports only has the rights for Console games. :(playstation, :64, etc.) :We usually update the tracks each iteration of the game. I know that :tracks are added in the BGN series, but whether the original tracks :are :altered, I cannot say. For example, in the first Nascar Talladega did :not have the pit-road concrete strip, but it is there in Nascar 2. :We're usually pretty good about keeping up with the actual tracks. :<cut> :---------- :Eric/ SierraTech :Screamin' 3D :MotorSports" Planker

I'd bet on*** Trickle to win a race before I'd bet on the track pack containing the "new" Atlanta and a flipped Darlington. > > :We usually update the tracks each iteration of the game.

LOL ... yeah, the new Atlanta is not just a renamed C***te, as some have said... it has much more banking, and according to Bill Elliot, after testing there, you can run wide open all the way around. Of course, that was by himself. At any rate, don't be too critical, if these new configs aren't in there, as both changes may have happened a little too late :) these guys are working hard enough to get out the ones they can, I'm sure. -- Handy^Man IVGA 4924 ~~pulling for #8 in 1998 ! :)~~ CWatkins on Hawaii GOoooo #3 !!

Dick is going to win at Atlanta and Talladega
I was playing off the commercial that is running right now with*** Trickle saying you could win a trip to the Napa auto parts sponsored race. He also says to bet on him to win, while the screen flashes a 0-243 in WC on the screen.

Not really. All I was looking for was someone with an informed ship date, not pessimism at it's greatest, but thanks for the reply nonetheless!
