STOCK Car Series To Start Upon Game Ship! - Please Read

[davidan]

Hey Everyone

As many of you probably already know by now, the Sim Factory, did not meet their target of a 2/9 release for ARCA sim RAcing. However, they are still on target for their guaranteed delivery of March 1st. So we will simply adjust the start of our season/schedule accordingly. We will wait until the game ships before we adjust the dates on the schedule. In the meantime, continue enjoying to paint cars and get ready! This will definitely be one of the best and hopefully most popular fun series run here at Champion to date!

Let Ron Schuermann, myself, or Jeff Chandler know if you have any questions. Also please tell you friends about our Stock Car plans, we'd like to get another 5-7 drivers for sure to join us ...

RELEASE UPDATE - FORUM INFO
Written by ARCA Official
Monday, 18 February 2008

While the forums at RSC are being rebuilt please feel free to utilize our Racing Chat system to stay in touch with everyone in the ASR community. We will also be in there off and on answering questions.

CHAT SYSTEM: RACE CHAT SYSTEM

As far as the software...we are on schedule to ship on the 1st as we had stated on the pre-order terms. Please allow the proper shipping time for your order to reach you...the standard is 1-5 days depending on your location from the shipping point which will be South Bend, IN or Chicago, IL. We are currently negotiating with a distribution company in Chicago to handle all our orders and to allow a faster and more efficent shipping process that also will allow us the ability to track the packages easier and more effectively as well as confirm all orders received.

The winner of the cockpit give-a-way will also be announced on SRT on the ship date and we will get that out to the lucky winner in early March.

At the release we will have some cool add-ons that will provided in a small and simple update that will self install for ease of use. We recorded TJ Majors during the 500 whom has agreed to be the official spotter in the ASR software to replace our soinds used during development. We would like to thank him for his help in the process.

Also we will, as we stated, be adding new tracks and other cool features as time progress and on a rather consistent basis to provide you the best and most bug free experience possible. Our rankings system will also be revamped to provide a stronger backbone of statistical tracking.

We would like to thank everyone in the simulation community for their patience during the development of the much anticipated ARCA SIM RACING 08. We are truly proud to be a part of the sim community as a software provider and will continue to dedicate ourselves to the progression of the product and to provide you an experience that is truly "As Real As It Gets". We also would like to thank everyone at ARCA for their support throughout our process and we are also excited to be back in 2008 as the Official Pole Award Sponsor of the series.

Thanks again! Sim Factory LLC Development Team

FYI ARCA Sim Racing DVD's should have begun shipment today! I am betting we will all have them in our hands by mid-week. They are also announcing the winner of the Pre Order Sim Rig later today in SimRacingTonight.Com

They actually started shipping pre-orders yesterday, or at least they said they did, either way the timing on this deal couldn't be worse, I'm having way too much fun with ILMS We sim racers have it tough

My pre-order got cancelled, because I had it shipped to work (living in an apartment, only USPS will deliver it without a signature.) instead of at home. I cannot re-order because they suspended orders. ARGH!!!!

Dude, that sucks. You should be able to order it again soon though; assuming they still have some left of the first 10,000 released. I am sure they'll get a 2nd printing at minimum soon. You might see if you could email them and arrange something special due to your situation; or Send Zippy a PM over at RSC.
