Thanks for the update.

The Atari Drag Race fans will like these updates since it will now be possible to play the game without having to guess when to shift gear.

btw: blinddog also took excellent photos of his own Atari (flyer reference) Pin Pong cab a few years earlier. Should Pin Pong be emulated sometime later, the photos that blinddog made available should really help out.

Good job Antny. The Clowns bezel piece work will make the game worthwhile even though Clowns audio is really inferior compared to Exidy's Circus. :-)

A useful addition would be if the external artwork video renderer can treat the instruction game pieces/cards as separate items from the bezel. If it were, then only the cards would need to be changed on the fly as a separate option if choosing to use artwork option in MAME.
