NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway Upgrades Racing Simulation
NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway Announces Custom Upgrades to World’s Most Realistic Racing Simulation INDIANAPOLIS (September 02, 2003) – The NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway simulated racing experience will take a major leap forward in technology on September 9th when car parameters will be introduced nationwide in its 13 racing centers. “We are very excited about the introduction of our new car parameters modifications software in our racing centers,” stated Bill Donaldson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Interactive Motorsports and Entertainment Corp. (OTCBB: IMTS). Perfect Line, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of IMTS owns and operates the NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway Centers. The new racing parameters software, which was developed in response to the many requests by customers, competitive drivers and league racers, mirrors the adjustments made by pit crews and crew chiefs during time trials and throughout a Winston Cup race. These parameters include driver aids such as traction control and anti-lock brakes (either can be turned on or off), aerodynamics such as spoiler angle (affects both drag and down force on a car), handling options such as steering ratio and front anti-roll bar (for car balance) and power train options such as motors (3 different motors available), transmission and rear end (ring/pinion) ratio. “These software upgrades to our industry leading technology are an ongoing part of our campaign and investment to keep our racing experience as real as it can get,” said Donaldson. Perfect Line’s NASCAR Silicon Motor Speedway racing centers are the largest chain of officially-licensed, NASCAR-branded interactive entertainment stores in the world, and offers its customers the most popular NASCAR merchandise available. Perfect Line has integrated sophisticated proprietary racing simulator technology with an exclusive NASCAR license for location-based entertainment and licenses for popular NASCAR tracks and teams.
