Yes.
Through special races, the types of prizes awarded, and cash donations, SUPRS strives to give back to the drivers, teams, tracks, and fans that support supermodified racing.

·  How do I put my paint job into the game?

Officially you are to send all paint jobs to the Asst League Director: John Davidson for the next mass paint update.

If you are adamant bout seeing it before you submit it, follow these instructions. (recommended for advanced PC users)
1. Download Restools from the downloads area.
   2. Paint your car and save it as a .tga 24 bit
       uncompressed. IN THE CORRECT SIZE.
   3. Use Restools to convert the .tga into a .tex
   4. Rename the .tex correctly (ex car151.tex)
   5. Place the .tex in the mod folder (Oswego Mod)
   6. Edit the drivers.txt file in the Oswego Mod folder.
       Add your name and correct tex associated with that name.
   7. Start you game and the car should be there with your name.
   8. Go practice.

If at some point your game does not function, its most likely that you incorrectly edited the drivers.txt and the game crashes.  Simply download the latest paint update from the site to start over.

·  After winning a race against the computers my game crashes?

Delete the victory.res file within the SUPRS mod folder.

[ Back to Top ]

·  I keep trying to connect to the race server but I cant connect, What should I do?

Keep trying, it will eventually let you in. Recommend that you turn off your Anti-Virus software.

Sometimes more than 20 racers will be attempting to connect, in that case, the server is full, return to Team Speak for further instructions.

Also, The server may not be functioning correctly, which would require it to be be rebooted. In this case notify a SUPRS Official.

Tips for making your computer ready for online racing. Connection Tips:

1. Turn off screen savers.

2. Turn off Anti-virus and Zone Alarm type software.

3. Allow Fire Wall to let Nascar Heat to bypass.

4. Use End-It-All to turn off and programs that you might not know are running in the background.

5. Use AdaAware to remove malicious spyware.

6. Defrag your hard drives at least once a month.

7. Remove or move all those icons on your desktop.

8. Recommend removing or turning off wall paper.

9. Download the latest drivers for your video card. Windows updates also help.

10. Clean out the dust inside your computer.

11. Recommended that you turn-off Auto-Update Features for Windows or other like programs.

·  Everyone is so fast and Im off the pace, How can I improve my racing?

PRACTICE, This game is like anything else in life, to get better, you gotta practice, simple as that.

Adjust your wheel setting to suit your driving style. Concentrate on the Non-Linear Steering slider.

If you are running keyboard or gamepad controls, it will be difficult for you to compete for a win.

Average time for a new driver to win is a race is currently around 20 races. Some win earlier or later than others.

·  Im in the race server to practice by myself but it wont work, Why?

Must have 2 people in the server to race, with least one of you should know the commands to adminster a session.

·  What mode do you race in?

Normal Mode

·  When I race offline the computer cars are slow and off the pace, How do I improve them?

These mods are designed for online use. No thought was used to run these offline. There is a fix for it and its posted at the Mod Squad website....

You may have seen it before,but speeding the AI up and having them run your line too,is very easy.

You'll want to be running in Expert or Hardcore mode (although Normal works,but doesn't have the Garage option).

Simply go into "Test" through the Garage screen and be on the track by yourself.

Then run some good clean laps,staying away from the walls and going fast at the same time.Make sure you fully complete the laps.

Once you are satisfied with your lap,and you think it is a lap you'd like to have the AI to run,then exit out of the game and go into whichever mod's folder you are using,and find it's "ghostcar" folder.Inside this "ghostcar" folder,should be a new file named like "Daytona_simulation_best_ever.gcf". (using Daytona as an example)

Just take and "copy" that to your mod's main folder,then rename the .gcf file to "Daytona.gcf" (taking off the "_simulation_best_ever" part of it.

Then go into the same mod and try a race against the AI.They should be running more up to speed now and running the line you laid down for them.

You'll have to do this with every mod.

The reason this is discussed alot,has to do with the tracks being made with certain mods...and not all tracks and mods are fully compatible with each other....until you do what I've just described above.

Good luck.

·  error : Panic: Out of Memory

The SUPRS Mod is graphic intensive. Coupled with certain high detail tracks you might receive this error. Most car textures for Nascar Heat use your computers video card memory. If you have an older system with a video card below 128mb, you may receive the memory error. We have found that the systems that receive this error typically are ones with onboard video.

The first step would be to try and update your video card drivers. (not covered in detail here)

The second step would be to purchase a new video card with 128mb or more. Prices fall well under $100.00 for such an investment.

Honestly, if you have a video card under 128mb ....you really shouldnt even think about gaming in general.

·  Cant install Nascar Heat on Windows Vista?


Right click the autorun thing on the disc, and select run as administrator. for some reason it doesn't happen with other games for me, but that fixed nheat installation

·  What numbers are available?

An updated listed is avaialable by clinking on the link on the menu or HERE

·  Does nascar Heat have to be installed to the C: Drive?

from Raybee...

Yep....Unfortunately,Heat needs to be specifically installed onto C drive to work properly.

It will also install a file or two into C:WindowsTemp (heat.bin and heat.log).

See,the thing is,Heat is 6 years old,and it was made before XP came out and before alot of folks started using additional hard drives.By default,it wants to go to C drive.There's really no way of getting around that.

Now...if you had a C drive on your PC where you could install it....then it's possible to install a second copy on another drive (on the same computer of course)...and you can move mods and tracks over to the second drive and edit the shortcuts and stuff...but....it will still be reading some files from C drive (heat.bin,patch.bin..etc).

Unfortunately...that's just the way it is for Heat.

·  What patch does SUPRS use?

1.80

download here:
http://suprs.net/downloads/heatpatch1_80.exe

[ Back to Top ]

·  Is the text on a web page too small for you to view?

 If you have a mouse with a scrolling wheel, you can increase fonts by holding down the Ctrl key as you move the wheel. If you move the wheel away from you, the fonts decrease, toward you and they increase.


And if you don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel you can still quickly adjust the fonts on any webpage by holding the 'Ctrl' button while tapping the "+" or "-" keys.

·  I forgot my password for the site, can you tell me what it is?

The site admin does not have a list of everyone's password.
The site admin can give you a new one. Request those to superfanjay@yahoo.com

The 2nd option is to register a new account with the site.

·  error : Panic: TaskResume: Task

Solution:

Go here:
C:Program Files-Hasbro Interactive-NASCAR Heat
look for 'NASCAR Heat.exe' or NHeat.exe. If you have both, do what's written below for both:

Right mouse click on the EXE, choose 'Properties', then switch to 'Compatibility' tab, check the 'Run this program in compatibility mode for' and choose Windows 2000. Click OK. All should be fine.

Another possible solution is that your screen name in the game is longer than 10 characters in length. In that case, change your name on the start-up screen to a name no more than 10 characters.

·  How do I reduce the number of cars lower than 16 when racing offline?

Assuming you know where your SUPRS folder is located within the Nascar Heat game ....you simply edit the options.cfg file using notepad in the SUPRS folder. Scroll down to "pack_size" and change the number to your liking.
