Looking for the CART Racing Strategy Guide (Again)

A few months ago I posted to see if anyone had the CART Racing strategy guide that Steve wrote in pdf, since the Editor's Choice edition only came with the normal manual and I lost my original copy of the guide years ago. Well, I was just flipping through Alison Hine's site, and noticed that the "All-American Sports" edition came with it on the CD!! If anyone here has it and would be willing to send me the PDF file for the guide I would be eternally grateful. Jason

Just checked my CART racing version, no pdf files. One rtf file that included some Sierra troubleshooting stuff. I gave my original book away to somebody in Europe. (I forget who, sorry.) mailed it to him 3 or 4 years ago. dave henrie

AFAIK, the pdf files for the manual and strategy guide are only on the one that's labeled "All-American Sports Series" or something similar. The version they were selling in a jewel case years after it came out. It's odd the Editor's Choice collection had the manual bundled but not the guide. Jason

Good day men. I do have the actual paperback of "Winning-CART Racing Strategy Guide by Steven Smith". I would be happy to sell it if anyone wants it. I do sell some stuff on eBay and was going to include it with the CART racing CD, but I just as soon see a "real" sim racer get it. LOL and it may be worth more here!

For that matter, *I'd* be interested in a .pdf copy of "Winning" if anybody can find it. TIA. --Steve Smith "Tiny Lund" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Good day men.

Ford Engine Highest top end Chevy Best low end grunt Honda = inbetween Penske = Best Roadcourse Handling Lola= Best SuperSpeedway March(?) inbetween Goodyear Best overall grip Firestone Better grip but faster wear That's from memory...I have no idea if that is accurate :) dave henrie

You are in luck JM... I checked my CD and it is there! 208 pages of racing setup and strategy bliss - with a sense of humour! My favourite chapter name is ``I love The Smell of Methanol in the Morning`` ;-) I have posted it to alt.binaries.simulators.autos for all to enjoy. Cheers, Spud.

Is there another pdf on the CD? I grabbed CART.pdf but it's the manual and not Steve's guide. Jason

Sure should. The whole book was riddled w. typos. Bad editing. They even got my NAME wrong (it's Stephen, not Steven). When I wrote the GPL guide, I went thru the ms. with a fine-tooth comb...only to have Papy excise every reference to "Ferrari." Can't win.
