Also the racing games i look for -> are the ones that you get to race in the driver's seat of a indy car -> and nascar and other race cars. The game Nascar and Nascar 2 are like that. Sierra also has I think a Indy 500 or Indy Car racing. Most of the racing games are usually found on the pc. At least the good ones. N64 only has crusin USA, which ranked way down at a 3.1 in Ultra Game players magazine. Im not real sure about Playstation, but I know that it has Nascar on it. Saturn has Daytona Usa and Sega Rally and a few others like Virtual Racing Deluxe. Computer however has the most. My favorite racing game is a old game called stunts for computer. It allows you to make you own tracks and everything. --- InterEcho 1.19 * Origin: Telephone Technologies, Huntington WV, U.S.A.

DICKHUT Time: 10:36pm \/To: ALL (Read 3 times) Subj: F1: toughts, teams, drivers, numbers Hello F1 Fans, F1 starts next weekend (9.3.97) in Melbourne, Australia at 14:00- wich is 4 o'clock in the morning in my time. I just can't wait any loger. Maybe Jacques Villeneve can go for the title this year! And there is some progress at Ferrari, McLaren seems to be very quick also, Gerhard Berger lapped sensational in Jerez, but he always used to be fast in the winter break... Heinz Harald Frentzen will have to show if he's really as quick as he wanted us to believe when he drove that underpowerded Sauber. Two new Teams: Ford works engine powered Stewart and Lola, who have never done anything great in Formula One so far. Here is 1997's line up: *Arrows-Yamaha* *Williams-Renault* 1 Daimon Hill (GB) 3 Jacques Villeneuve (CAN) 2 Pedro Diniz (BRA) 4 Heinz-Harald Frenzen (D) *Scuderia-Ferrari* *Benetton-Renault* 5 Michael Schumacher (D) 7 Jean Alesi (FRA) 6 Eddie Irvine (GB) 8 Gerhard Berger (AUT) *McLaren-Mercedes* *Jordan-Peugot* 9 Mika Haekkinen (FIN) 11 Ralf Schumacher (D) 10 David Coulthard (GB) 12 Giancarlo Fisichella? (ITA) *Ligier-Mugen-Honda* *Sauber-Petronas* 14 Oliver Panis (FRA) 16 Johnny Herbert (GB) 15 Shinji Nakano (JAP) 17 Nicola Larini (ITA) *Tyrell-Ford* *Minardi-Hart* 18 Jos "The Boss" Verstappen (NL) 20 Ukyo "San" Katayama (JAP) 19 Mika Salo (FIN) 21 Tarso Marques? (BRA) *Stewart-Ford* *Lola-Ford* 22 Rubens-Baricchello (BRA) 24 Ricardo Rosset (BRA) 23 Jan Magnussen (DAN) 25 Vincenzo Sospiri (ITA) ------------------------------------ Finally: Could someone again post the Formula One Newsletter from the internet? It was quite interesting and I can't get it myself. And: F1- Fans, don't be so lazy and write! Or are there none left in the echo ??? I'll resume posting my short race summaries and comments, as I did last year, if you like.

Some addictions > can be cured by taking a cold shower. hehe... i'm scared to call the HPD...they hate me. any way...i've only gotten one speeding ticket and i want to try my best to avoid another one...i'm looking to invest in a radar jamer but any way...i take a cold shower usually before i race... my mind is set directly on what is oing on around me when i race.. some people think of other stuff and lose their concentration, thus losing the race... i remember i was racing a modified honda civc vtec engine before, and th guy i was racing (on westheimer) totally lost his concentration and kept switching lanes.... i would say that's the only reason i won.... but it's true...........cncentration can make a difference...i bet the drag racers over here know what i mean! by the way, what do you race with? I've found only one racing spot an that's like somewhere in Bay area...plus you have to rent the race car..... some one tell me if there are any other's 'round h-town asif --- T.A.G. 2.7 Standard * Origin: Grasshopper Nest__TAG Beta Site__USR v.e (1:106/1119) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 142 AUTO RACING Ref: E3A00005 Date: 03/05/97 From: ASIF SHAIKH Time: 11:52pm \/To: RALF M.
