Now available: NASTRACK.EXE If you have more than 30 tracks for NASCAR1 or NASCAR2 then the game will lock up or crash when trying to run. NASTRACK allows the user to easily move tracks between 2 directories just by clicking on them. This makes running NASCAR or NASCAR2 possible with more than 30 tracks. Includes reminder messages about having too many tracks available so you won't forget. It is available for immediate download at: http://www.filepile.com Search for NASTRACK.ZIP in the Games section. PS - It also works with ICR1 and ICR2, but ICR1 doesn't have extra tracks and if you have ICR2 then you should get the Crew Chief package which includes this utility along with many others. The ICR2 Crew Chief package is available at: http://www.teleport.com/~mcarver [address restored] or http://sim***world.simplenet.com or many others. -- -------------------------------------

I didn't find it myself when I search the game section like was suggested. But when I went to the ADVANCED SEARCH OPTIONS area and did a exact filename search, I did find it and now have it. I have now it but have not checked it out. After getting the file, I went back and search the game section for nastrack.zip agian, it could not be found agian.

: >It's there now. I'm very sorry for announcing this too early. Normally, this site clears files within 4 hours. I uploaded it Friday afternoon. I then waited 8 hours before posting this thread. Of course, the site did not clear the file for 3 days. In fact, no files were cleared for 3 days. The file is now available. Search in GAMES for NASTRACK.ZIP. I checked it myself and it is there. Hey, Murphy's Law!! I normally don't post these messages until the file DOES clear, but I trusted them this time. ;) Lesson learned. I guess another alternative would be to list all files and scroll down to it. Once again, sorry for the premature post. -- -------------------------------------

I think this site is having problems. It will not find this file if you try to search in Games or any other place. The correct way to find it is as stated above: http://www.filepile.com Select Advanced Search Options Select Exact file name option Search for NASTRACK.ZIP For some reason it will list the file 3 times. I only uploaded it once. You can then download it from there. Sorry for all of this fuss. Geez, maybe it's time to get my own web page instead of borrowing everybody elses. :) -- -------------------------------------

You just went by past experienced... not is not your fault the website was slow. I do have a follow up question concerning the program. Is any docs available for the program even if just a few words? I personally hate to install anything without any kind of docs that gives you at least an idea as to what the utility does, where to install it, etc... Thanks for the utility and your time spent on it! >I'm very sorry for announcing this too early. Normally, this site clears >files within 4 hours. I uploaded it Friday afternoon.

: I do have a follow up question concerning the program. Is any docs : available for the program even if just a few words? Well, no docs to speak of. I used the "error" reporting and "help" button for those (ie the errors will tell you where to install it). Here is a quick and dirty manual: Install it in NASCAR or NASCAR2 directory Start it. First time it starts, it makes the "UNSCHDLD" directory after asking you if you want to make it (hmm, second thought here - maybe I should have just made it instead of asking). Click on a track to either "schedule" or "unschedule" it. Use the Update button to move the tracks. Exit the program. There are "reminder" messages if you have over 25 tracks (for modem users) or over 30 tracks (NASCAR will crash). It will also remind you if you did not hit Update. You can have many sub-directories within the track directory, but you can not have any sub-sub-directories. Ex of sub-directory: ATLANTA\SUB1 Ex of sub-sub-directory ATLANTA\SUB1\SUBSUB1 That's pretty much it. -- -------------------------------------

Wher can one find the 1.03 patch for Nascar 2. The last patch I got was 1.02. >says... >>>Odd.. I have 44 tracks in my N2 tracks directory and it works. Plus, they are >>>all in the calendar.. >>So would you care to share the knowledge for the rest of us? >I just patched N2 to 1.03 then added the tracks past 30 and it has kept >working.. Maybe it has to do something with the tracks being in the calender?
