The Staging Light

The Staging Light proudly presents pcHoleShot!, an innovative new approach to drag racing software practice trees! Practice trees are a great tool for drag racers, but practicing has always lacked an element of competition -- or even just fun element. Mark Towslee is the brains behind the programming, while Michael Beard handled the graphics and sound editing on the "practice tree, turned game".

pcHoleShot! is available only from authorized distributors, for $34.95. Authorized distributors include Martel Brothers Racing Products (1-800-882-7223) and Speed Graphics. Distributors welcome.

The program runs on Windows 3.1x and Windows 95 machines with 8MB RAM and 5MB free hard drive space. A 3.5" floppy drive and a video card supporting at least 8-bit (256 colors) is also required. We recommend a Pentium-class processor and 24-bit color support. If you have Win95 and a Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.01 compatible browser with ActiveX support, you can try a very early version called netHoleShot!. pcHoleShot! has many features well above and beyond netHoleShot! The most important advancement is a timing system that is much improved from netHoleShot!'s.
