Default New NHRA game for PS2

Spotted a new game due out the end of this coming week. I love nothing more than playing the PC version, now its coming for the PS2. Didn't notice if there will be an online racing feature (feature broken on last PC version) but worth checking out.

I have heard the game is available at Toys-R-US and Wal-Mart for $14.99.

Very cool game. We have had different versions floating around the office here for a couple months. Fun and very addictive.

Yes. It has oil downs too! They did this so you could have time to work on your car in the garage then come back to resume racing once the clean up was done.

clutch,fuel,spark.compession,fuel timing,ballest,tire pressure,wing downforce, it's hella realistic the thing i like most about the game is the both lanes have different set ups one lane might be better than the other lane choice is important.
