I just loaded this track from the link on the site. when I tested it, the car ran very slow, but still my overheat light came on after one lap and then blew up. it seems like I must have the wrong track. it looks like a rough unfinished track, and I for sure can't run it in default normal mode. can someone send me their copy of the right one?

We have a fix for the overheating issue but I have simply been very busy and have not been able to put it up. When I do, I will post it here as well.

I assure you the track is complete, despite the lack of arcade setup in the normal version which is common amongst track developers.

Gosh, these cars bog down in the turns here. To get any kind of speed, you have to keep it in third. But if you do that too long, you overheat and blow up. I guess it'll be like North Wilkesboro all over again, figuring out how long you can safely use 3rd before being forced to stay in 4th.

Hmm, I never used 3rd at Wilkesboro.

It's not bad except in turn 4. I stayed in 4th in turns 1, 2 & 3 and kept it at 6200rpm or better, turn 4 you have to down shift to 3rd but that's because that's the tightest turn.
