			 ****** By: Sleeper ******

	Thanks for Downloading My first track, "Atzalan".

What is Atzalan? It's moto-cross. One of Wisconsin's finest natural
tracks. I raced on it for 5 years, some 20 years ago. It's layout is
pretty much tattoo'd into my brain. 

I had to change to suroundings a little bit, and the scale of some of the track, to make it drivable for the trucks. If you know this track now, it may be different. I know in recent years they have run it backwards. They took out the steps ( to many injurys). So I layed it out just as I remember, which is quite well. 

Now for some credits.
First off, I have to give Spreker credit for lighting the fire under my @$$. I told him how much I liked his track, his first one!! it's mean! I couldn't believe it was his first. I told him I always wanted to try one, but was chicken. he told me, " do it man, go to GuitarBills, use the school he has there, and you'll be up and track making in no time. 
He was right. And I thank him for that. Thank you Spreker!!

Of course GuitarBill for such an awesome program!! And for fixing a problem i encountered, Thank you GuitarBill, BigTime!! My jing will be in the mail as soon as I can sell one of my kids!! Just kidding. 

Fasttrux for letting me use his textures. he said they're stock ones, with some modifications. And for inspiration. I saw his track "M/T Offroad" and thought, yep,Im gonna do a moto track. And for some tips he offered at the Traxx message board. Thanks bud.

SirJames for the easy to edit billboard bin, and help whenever I need it!! he helped me out a little on this one, and other things I have done, ie: trucks, binedit, and stuff like that. Thanks a million Jim!!

Phineus for some "major" tips. he helped me out with tips at the traxx message board. Thanks Phineus, really appriciate it!!

Beta testing was pretty limited. was me, SirJames and a friend of mine, Jay, and my nephew, WildChild.  Thanks guys. 

Now, for the track.
It has a couple sections that you'll want to remember, full throttle is not neccessarily the ticket. The small drop-off is obvious, but a couple other spots there are several ways to take them. you can go fulltilt, but ya might pay. lets just say, i warned ya!! hehe. 
The computer trucks. I don't even want to "think" about those darn things!! they were HELL to get to follow this track. three spots really gave me grief. but with about a million tries, and tips from people named above, I got it. My fast lap is 2:50.60. The comp trucks run it in about 3:20. I saw a couple of them run in the teens too. A 3:12.00 is the best I've seen so far. but if your with them in the open track, watch out. they'll run right with ya. So it's a good track for single and multi-player. that was my goal. 

There's also a banked short-track in the mid-field. I have an arrow pointing in that direction along side the start line. Sometimes I go do a couple laps, then play catch-up with the computer trucks. Don't always win doing that!! hehe. Oh, and you can get on top of it for some fun rumble time with your buddies!!



AnyWhoooo, go give her a run-over. I really think you'll enjoy this one. Please, let me know what ya think. if this one bombs, I ain't gonna make anymore!!


Enjoy the ride!!
