====Panama by Malibu350 (loosely based on Costa Rica, Evo2)====

This is a simple wide open off road rally with a few twists I threw in to keep it some what interesting. 
Like Dead Mans Gulch this one also appears barren in comparrison to Evo2 but there is little that can be done about that with mtm2's limitations :(

good lap times are around 2:45, my (soso) best was 2:38.51, 1500 gears, med tires, soft susp, pro,... 
the AI trucks do ok running consistant 3:00's and were clocked as low as 2:51. 

The track should run smooth on all systems with graphics set to sparse, set graphics to complex to view the track in its entirety. For best frame rates, shut down all unnesesary programs, and when running with two or more oponents I recommend running stock trucks or repainted low vert stock trucks.

========================================================

Most of the models are from TRI's (http://www.terminalreality.com/) 4x4 Evolution 2, and were converted to bin format, retextured, remapped, resized, reanimated, and a few repaired/rebuilt by me. the ground textures are also from 4x4evo2, 0 textures were removed, every model was trimmed of extra verts, unneeded faces and/or remapped in my effort to keep the file size to a minimum and frame rates at a maximum.

=======================================================

As with all my tracks they are made for fun and everything in them is for anyone to use, I have all my previous models, textures, and tracks available at my site, and this tracks components will follow shortly after its release.... @ http://malibu350.com

-=way down here is the BOTTF-TTAT section=-

there are no short cuts, just good routes and bad routes

Try running the track in a dark room, all the textures really stand out if you do

stuff to find for the really really really bored, an animated fish, the treasure, the skull
