Trevor, forgive my ignorance, but does this mean that the sim would run badly or not at all (performance, not graphics) without 3D, or that non-3D folks would simply not get the most out of the graphics?

Thanks in advance. Mike, I think that it would depend a lot on the speed of the CPU but there is no way you are going to see any kind of decent perf without a RIVA based 3D card, NHRA is very graphic and the game engine is very demanding.

Actually, there is a way to get *much* better performance out of it - get a "real" 3D video card like a Voodoo or Voodoo2 based card. Rob "Dead Meat"
