Title: This is a ridiculously high octane cockpit "cabinet"
Post by: rampy on February 29, 2004, 01:04:14 pm
Simulator provides thrills of NASCAR driving (http://www.gjsentinel.com/news/newsfd/auto/feed/news/2004/02/28/1077972532.26609.1014.1303.html;COXnetJSessionID=ACp9CQzx8r2mvBzOuoIYBNv1SiwM2iCIHWSPgBbEw6d653XwOvca!-1565243158?urac=n&urvf=10780778857970.5428646914940295)

fark.com headline reads, "Guy buys real NASCAR racecar, removes engine, installs racing simulator and display, creating one of the coolest toys on the planet"

He probably should have looked into getting a Silicon Motor Speedways (http://www.smsonline.com/) franchise!

Yeah man I totally did that thing at the Mall of America in Minneapolis, MN.  I don't like Nascar at all.  I think its actually quite boring and stupid (no offense to anyone here who likes it) but this simulator was freakin awesome.  You get in a 3/4 size car and there is a wrap around screen and the whole car moves and stuff.  Not to mention you are racing against 16 other people at the same time :)  Cool stuff
