Instructions
Please find attached the necessary files for running the NRL test races. We are
planning at least two races, and possibly more, depending on the outcome of the
first two.
NRLTEST.ZIP consists of the following files:
README.NOW <this file> YOU'RE READING IT NOW!
NRLTEST.DAT <cars data file> THIS FILE IS OPTIONAL
DRIVERS2.TXT <drivers file> THIS FILE IS REQUIRED
TALADEGA.TXT <replacement track text file> THIS FILE IS REQUIRED
NRL_V12.TXT <NRL Rules & Regs> LATEST UPDATE
DRVRMEET.TXT <Weather/Percentage info> A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!
RACE_FRM.TXT <To be completed after racing>
It is not necessary to be a registered driver to run the test races. The test
races are merely to familiarize both the NRL Staff and the drivers of the
scoring procedures, and to generally see how things will go.
You will notice that the *.DAT file is basically the carset that came with
NASCAR Racing when you purchased it. The only changes that have been made is
that we have moved a few cars around.
The DRIVERS2.TXT file is much different than what came with NASCAR Racing. The
NRL Verification Analyst, Rick Mahoney, has developed this file to help make
the AI more competitive. Please note that this is a "beta" drivers file and
this is NOT the file you will be using in the NRL Series.
At Talladega, the AI does not qualify at the speeds that we are now able to
achieve in the simulation, therefore, the NRL is requiring everyone to
replace their current "stock" TALADEGA.TXT file with the one we have provided
for you.
HOW TO USE THE NRL FILES
------------------------
Create a directory in your \NASCAR\CARS sub-directory called NRLTEST. Copy
the NRLTEST.DAT and DRIVERS2.TXT files into this directory. When you enter
NASCAR Racing, select DRIVER INFO, and the select CARSETS, and then select
NRLTEST. That will load the NRLTEST carset.
SAMPLE:
cd nascar\cars
md nrltest
copy nrltest.dat c:\nascar\cars\nrltest
copy drivers2.txt c:\nascar\cars\nrltest
To implement the TALADEGA.TXT file, first go to the \NASCAR\TRACKS\TALADEGA
directory and rename TALADEGA.TXT to TALADEGA.BAK. This will ensure that you
will not overwrite the original track textfile that came with NASCAR Racing.
FYI: The only thing we actually have changed in the TALADEGA.TXT file is to
increase the RELS from 100 to 155.
SAMPLE:
cd nascar\tracks\taladega
ren taladega.txt taladega.bak
Now copy the new NRL Talladega track file
SAMPLE:
copy taladega.txt c:\nascar\tracks\taladega
And that will have you racing the first NRL Test Race! Be sure and read all the
other info so you know how to set the weather and all......
If you have any questions, please leave a message to one of the following:

Seeya at Talladega!
