Hey thats alright, I dont mind you mentioning that at all, I cringed when I saw this was in the video, I did more practice racing than on my victory donuts! I didnt think the video maker was gunna add that bit in. I was just happy to beat the other guys!

There are so many limitations in computer games you have to make some sacrifices. In the Midget development stage I absolutely ruled out mirrors (like some other sprint cars in the game have gone for), glad BOZ winged Sprint Cars have not put mirrors in either.

The reverse was something put in to the game for convenience, BECAUSE ITS A VIDEO GAME.
Any opportunity to even slightly emulate what your heroes do should be grasped with both hands.

And I would suggest downloading the BOZ sprints if you want an open wheel mod. These things are a blast, but there is no AI and no one in the states plays them.
