How do I install the nifty dashboards that are available for N2? I don't see
a file anywhere to replace so that the dash is installed? Is there some
sort of file unpacking that has to be done??

Your right on the spot. It's more easy than it sounds.
Papyrus uses a dat file to archive the files. Just go to any Nascar2
website (Theuspits.com) and download the pack/unpack utilities (around
40kb). For your***pit, do like this :
C:\sierra\nascar2\layout\unpack layout.dat
Now you will see the graphics files. The***pit (hi-resolution) are 1.pcx
to 9.pcx Just take the downloaded***pit, and over-write those files. Now
pack it by writing :
pack layout.pck Remember "pck", not "dat" !!! I think this should be
all, if there is any other question check out the N2 FAQ here.

the executable. It will replace the stock dash with a much nicer
looking red one.
