Memphis Motorsports Park Night 2005 for Nascar Racing 2003

First of all, thanks go out to Brad Talley for his excellent NR2003 upgrade of the orginal N3 Memphis Motorsports Park track conversion by Dave Noonan that is posted at www.masgrafx.com.  When the Craftsmen Truck Series visted Memphis in 2005, temporary lighting was brought in for the race.  Many N2003 enthusiasts began requesting a night version of Memphis Motorsports Park.  I decided to take on this project using the Brad Talley day version of Memphis Motorsports Park as a base.  As is the case with the original upgrade done by Brad Talley, this is not meant to be an exact replica of the track.


What was done beyond the Talley Memphis Motorsports Park version:

1. Added "temporary lights"
3. Added night effects and environments
4. Added additional 3d objects and TSO's for realism. 
5. Improved ai for more authentic racing.

What was done since J.R. Franklin's memphis_night version:
1.	Changed track to daytime, since the races this year are held in daylight.
2.	Added SAFER Barriers
3.	2009 wall logos
4.	Redesigned backstretch wall and crossover section to be more realistic
5.	Changed asphalt texture to show sealer markings
6.	Updated NASCAR logos to reflect Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series
7.	Added grip on high side to allow better online racing
8.	Added a yellow "committment line" at beginning of pit access road for leagues to use as commitment line.


Installation instructions: Unzip the file into the tracks folder of your NASCAR 2003 track folder 
That's all!
