Sears97 Intro:
--------------------------------------------------------
	- After Sears99's release, many people in the N3 and GPL 
	community have requested the old "2.52 mile roadcourse" 
	configuration of Sears Point to be built as well. Sears97 
	is this road course. 
	
	- Though named Sears97, the track built resembles more of the 
	current configuration of the "road-course" then the 1997 
	configuration. Since '97, turn 7 has changed dramatically 
	with the addition of "The Chute" and the changes made for 
	the 1999 Winston Cup race.
	
	- The track itself is what we are all very much use to from 
	the Nascar Racing 2 days, but with the realism of Sears99 
	intact. The much more realistic elevation changes are the 
	most noticable features from turn 3a to turn 7 then the N2 
	counterpart.

Changes since Sears99:
--------------------------------------------------------
	- Other than the obvious here is a quick list
		- Entire track rebuilt to reduce the amount of
		sections (helps draw-ahead)
		- Evened out the left to right tire wear and 
		reduced a touch
		- Russell Racing (TM) chicane in turn 10 removed
		- Player pit stall in middle of pit road
		- More corner-workers (Flaggers)
		- More spotter sound ques

Warnings:
--------------------------------------------------------
	- As requested by Steve Page, manager of Sears Point Raceway,
	no images of Sears Point Raceway are included in this track.
	- This track was designed to run in Hardware mode only. 	
	Software users may see some strange graphics, but otherwise 
	will be able to drive the track. For best results, set 
	draw-ahead to maximum settings.
	- Some walls are intentionally invisible. This is to reflect 
	real world positioning of walls even where they do not exist. 
	A wall HAS to exist in the game, but we decided not to 
	graphically show them. These invisible walls (inner most and 
	outer most walls only) are positioned to match with a natural 
	boundary such as a embankment or ditch. If you take damage 
	hitting these invisible walls, you would have hit a natural 
	boundary in real life.
	- The curbing can be used, and in fact abused, but beware that 
	just as in real life, there are consequences to pay if used 
	incorrectly.
	- Turn 11 (hairpin) could not be modeled correctly with tire 
	barriers on the inside of the turn. We did not want to place a 
	wall there as Papyrus does, so we left it open. This does allow 
	the corner to be cut, we are leaving cheat prevention up to each 
	league admin. 
	- Gilligans Island was intentionally left out as a limitation in 
	the game engine would not allow AI to pit there anyway.
	- Tire wear is accurate. Don't think that you can run fast laps 
	for a full fuel run. Just as in real life, you need to pay 
	attention to tire wear.
	- Billboard adverts are current and accurate. Be warned that 
	there are be adverts unsuitable for minors.
	- Trucks were not tested much since they no longer race on SPR.
	- Only 32 cars can fit on to pit road. This is enough for any
	online racing, and that was our goal.
