Nascar 1 & loading car sets

When I bought my Matrox Millennium card (4meg) it came bundled with some software, one of which is Nascar 1. When I start it it says its version 1.21 I think. Anyway, about a month ago I decided to give it a try and now I'm hooked. Even went out and bought the T2 steering wheel. Surfing the net I came across some of the great car sets out there, for example WC97.ZIP among others. The problem I'm having is once I load a car set (doesn't matter which one) and go to race, the car set is loaded but I can't get into the garage and load my car setups or tweak anything. The message I get is something like "Can't load the garage." I have search Deja News, went to several Nascar site, read at ton of FAQ's and came up empty. I would appreciate any suggestions. I really don't want to be stuck racing with those lame cars that come with the game. Thanks Jeff Stone Cincinnati Team OS/2

Hi there, I had the same problem. You are probably running your nascar off the d: (cdrom) drive. You need to run it off the C: drive where you have it installed to get to the garage and load and save files. Hope this helps. I'm no expert.

Heres what ya need to do. Visit the pits. Http://www.theuspits.com/ Go to the Workshop, go to the archives, click Nascar1 and scroll down until you see Jed's Nascar car set converter. You probably got the european version like I did, and the US car sets won't load into the garage until you convert them. Hope this helps. Chuck Kandler Budget Racing
