IWCCCARS and NASCAR2

I was just looking over some of the new teams and paint jobs for the 1998 Winston Cup season and thinking about how much more enjoyable my sim racing has been with the 1997 cars from IWCCCARS. Their cars are so well done that sometimes I forget that people did this for free and many of these cars were not included in the original game. If any of you are out there, thanks for your hard work and I hope you will be so kind and generous as to continue to enhance my enjoyment of NASCAR2 as the next racing season begins in a few weeks. Brian Also thanks to Dane Johnson for N2HQ and Tom Hansen for his AI improvements.

I'll second that. ChrisP

Absolutely, and while we are at it...Thanks to Eric Busch who has helped me out on several occasions despite not knowing me from Adam, and thanks to all the guys who put the tome in to run series, both offline and online. Thanks for giving us a great place to race. This is great community and we forget how much we get for free.... Thanks Lou B.

I still get around to r.a.s occasionally, don't know about the rest of the IWCCCARS team. Glad to hear you like the cars. The team is working on the '98 cars now.

Hi, The sim racing community is great! I'am amazed at how many good sim racing sites there are! (custom cars, setups, etc.) I enjoy the IWCCARS WC and BGN cars for N2, they make the game just that much more realistic! When I bought the GN Expansion Pack I didn't even look at the cars Papryus made (Sorry Papy! :)) and I went straight to the IWCCARS site and downloaded the set of 1997 BGN cars! I'am looking forward to seeing the 1998 cars! Actually, on a different note, I'am taking an Internet Course at University (Learning about the history and the workings of the internet, WWW, USENET, etc). One of the questions in my first assignment is to choose 10 hobby sites for a particular interest and to write about how they could be useful to someone with simular interests. I'll probably write about sim racing sites At least I have lots of great sites to choose from! (If you want your site included send me your pitch now! <g> :)) Later, John

I just wanted to say thanks to these guys who put so much effort and time into painting these cars and increasing my enjoyment of N2. Keep up the great work and I'll be looking for the complete 98 carset. Kev

I was thinking the same thing too. I have been curious though as to why it seems there have been no updates at IWCCCARS in about two months. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not going to start giving them ***for seeming to have been doing nothing for two months, I know they have other stuff to do other than sit at home and paint cars all day. I'm just wondering when to expect to see some 1998 paint schemes. Is the plan to released them all at once or what? I'm also wondering if there will be a Craftsman Truck set this year as I was disappointed that there was no IWCC set for the trucks in '97. I'll be checking the site out about everyday hoping to see something new. Thanks, Evan Vick

I use the Alan Kulwicki Hooter's car. I also have downloaded the Allison white/gold/black #28. I plan on downloading a few more real soon. Driving special K's car is the best tribute to my fallen hero I can think of though. If you did these cars then a big thank you for you too. :-) Brian

I LOVE their cars. I think they do the best quality job out there. I dont mind waiting a few extra weeks to get the quality they offer. My personal car is the Davey Allison white/black/red/gold #28 reworked to #20. For BGN I changed the sponsor from Havoline to The Husted Group. I even use that paint scheme on my TPTCC car... although the numbering is much different of course =) That car is my all time favorite NASCAR car.. pure beauty. I would like to get the all Black Havoline car that Davey drove before he died and the numbers were gold... not bright red. Anyone know if that car is around ??

Papyrus should just hire IWCCCARS to do paintjobs for the cars on all their sims.

Ditto on that......Thanks much for your hard work IWCCCARS....... improvements.

This is one of the main reasons I have stayed with Sim Racing as a whole. I used to be into the Front Page Sports: Simulations, but got very discouraged when the creators of the utilities and such started charging $10-$30 for each utililty. I never bought one and never will. That's why I started discouraged when they were charging $30 for the track converter. I was pleased with them lowering the price to $15, but still nothing beats free. :) But I got it any way as I love Touring Car racing and the extra tracks do nothing but add to the game. :)

No the real reason is that Dave Sparks is too busy running the OSCAR league to be able to update the site. > One reason that there might not be any updates is that the REAL Nascar > teams protect their paint changes like they were national secrets until > they are shown at Daytona during Speedweeks.
