CHANGE HISTORY
--------------
Version 1.2
Corrected problem with mouse support which resulted in mouse arrow
not showing after completion of a race and on the gears display.
Added one more set of high end gears
Version 2.0
Added multiple player option. Up to 4 players can take turns racing
either in a friendly race or a single-elimination tournament.
Racing time broken down into reaction and elapsed time. Times
and top speed displayed at end of each run.
Added History file which keeps track of 10 top reaction times,
elapsed times, total times, and top speeds.
Accelerator sensitivity is adjustable to improve response for
different racers.
Relocation option for tachometer that moves it closer to the
christmas tree to make it easier to watch both.
Gear adjustment can now be made anytime before or after a race.
Previously, you could only change after a race.
Version 2.1
Fixed incorrect month displayed on history score.
Added some initial Sound Blaster support for digital sound,
this is an ongoing process. I would be very interested if
you have any problems in this area.
Added Color to individual cars when racing in teams. You
can't change colors yet but that'll be added one of these days.
Version 3.0
Added the ability to change car colors.
In tournament mode, racers alternate from side to side versus
always being on the right of christmas tree.
Added a breakdown option which shows speed and elapsed time at
10 checkpoints down the track.
