CART Precision Racing Gold Preview

I was wondering if anyone has heard back from the CART contest held Monday??? I "entered" from about 12 different sites and am VERY anxious about racing this sim (even though I like Nascar better). Any info would be greatly appreciated!! John Parker "Bogart"

They said they would ship them out Oct 24th.. MAN I hope I signed up in time.. Waiting MS/TR's response.. -- Dave Otterness

The way I understood it was that was winners would be notified by email on by Oct. 22 and a list of winners would be posted "on Microsoft's site". I checked all day and nothing yet on their site or in my mailbox. Oct 22, 11:49 pm EST

Yeah, I sure as hell hope the GAME (well SIM I hope) is better than this beta sign up program. Seems to me, if they were only taking the first 10 or so at each site, and posting the link at random, post it, when you've got 15-20 names(some alternates too) close the link, and inform the user that they are entered...then have the page say the sign-up is closed. I mean, too simple, right? If they were going to do it like they did, why not just have a sign up page and then they pick 230 names at random. Thought when I got on to a couple of sites after checking them all day I was IN, seems I got happy for no reason. But who the hell knows with MickeySoft. Ken

hehe - I even used IE to log onto the sites, figuring MS would figure some way to***Netscape users : ) Got a minimal install of it for logging onto Internet *** Zone for games, although primarily use Netscape. NO word yet, and haven't heard of anyone that had. And you'd think SOMEONE here on RAS would be among the lucky ones, since we'd be the type to sit there all day pressing reload to try to get on, whereas some lamer looking for an arcade game would give up. If I knew others had gotten word, then I could say oh well, didn't get it- but I guess this way there's still hope : ) Ken
