Think I will wait for Nascar Legends

It's just an age thing, I guess. I was born in '68. My childhood memories of auto racing were Hunt, Stewart, Scheckter etc. at Monaco (the only race ABC showed back then!) or Pearson, Petty and Yarborough at Daytona (again, very slim pickings in televised racing). The lead in to the broadcasts filled in some information from the preceding few years, much as a current F1 broadcast might trace a driver's progress back to the early '90s. That gave me a taste for the GPL-era Formula One circus, and also the Superbirds of the early '70s. Call me a nostalgic fart, but I'm getting a lot more e***d about trading paint with Petty on a dirt-track in an evil-handling piece of iron than I am about chasing Jeff gordon's rainbow express (is that a Chevy? Ford? Soap bar?) around Atlanta, with its glass executive boxes. For the same reason I finally broke down and bought GPL, and it has erased all interest I have in current F1 sims. With the crazy pace of life, I'm looking forward to another step into the way-back machine. Stephen

Man! I was born in 70 and you make me sound old! I remember the first computer my dad brought home. That was when I was in 4th grade! Thad
