Hi Douglas, As far as trusting posters to the newsgroup, if you check in often enough, you'll begin to recognize names that are reputable in their dissemination of info. Take it from me, if Snowdog wrote it, it's probably as true as it's gonna get. He hasn't steered me wrong in almost two years, since I've known him. BTW, SD, what the heck are you doin' in here, anyway? <g>

Guys: I think the best answer is this: As of 8/13, Papyrus posted a list of tracks that will be included. Las Vegas isn't on that list. However, the same post stated that Papy was still pursuing additional licenses and there could be more tracks. The list was: Texas Motor Speedway California Motor Speedway South Boston Speedway Nazareth Speedway Nashville Speedway USA The Milwaukee Mile Hickory Motor Speedway Indianapolis Raceway Park (not IMS) Myrtle Beach Speedway Gateway International Raceway (plus Bullrun and Red Rock) The three missing tracks for BGN (that is, not in the pack or already in N2) are Vegas, Daytona and Homestead. We can feel pretty confident that he wasn't discussing Daytona (when *does* that Sega license run out???), so the only likely still in negotiation tracks were Vegas and Homestead. (Unless Papy knew Pike's Peak would be on the '98 schedule... if so, add that one.) And we'll know for sure when we see the CD. :)

Mark, care to tell how you got this info? I don't think Vegas will be in the track pack unless something changed very late in the development. Atlanta is not updated because still no race has been run on the new configuration. Brian

As do you..... it's hard to know who the knowledgeable people *are* in a NG, though. Names can be faked -- though I recognized one in here that said no Vegas. I will never understand the rationale behind licensure. IMS and Daytona beiing absent I understand -- both are under exclusive contract to others. Vegas is hard to understand... unless it's exclusive to the IRL game coming from ABC. (The other tracks that IRL shares with NASCAR were under license to Papyrus before the IRL game was started.) Homestead is hardest to understand. The CART license with MS we *know* isn't exclusive, because the CART tracks at Milwaukee and Nazareth are in the pack. And I believe Homestead is now in Bill France's ISC "family" --- and besides the fact that France is NASCAR, all his other WC/BGN tracks except the licensed-to-Sega-before-N1 Daytona are in the Papy sims (for the record, that's Talladega, Phoenix, Darlington and Watkins Glen). Why it would be withheld from Papyrus' pack -- which has been mentiioned prominently on NASCAR's website! -- is beyond me.

He's covering me from the 2nd floor... ;) Cheers! Marc

Points well taken.... I'm just lousy remembering names. :)

nada, still the same ol` lady in black

Can anyone tell me where to find the best facsimile of Las Vegas in the meantime? Thanks in advance... JR >> Las Vegas is included, but not to my knowladge atlanta is being updated. >> -- >> Sincerely, >> Mark F. >> Got a site on the Web? Want to promote or Join a Network? Heres your place

There's a lot of talk about atlanta not being updated because they haven't raced there yet. But no ones asked if darlington has been updated. Well does anyone know if darlington gets turned around?
