Hello everyone,

As some of you know, I'm looking to put together a huge collection of NASCAR Racing 2003 Season files to not only have some fun for myself, but to also preserve in the event websites and what not go down as many have over the years.

Though I have tracked down most of what I needed/wanted myself, I need your help with the following items. These items lead to dead links on either NR2K3.weebly.com and/or NR2K3tracks.com

If you have an item (or items) that are on this list, please contact me in one of the following ways.

-On this thread
-On my Stunodracing profile
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bjrashan78
-email: hyoctaneautosports@gmail.com

Thank you for all the help in advance, now onto the list!
**Note: As I find the files on this list, I will add the link to this post.**

Full Mods:
-Nationwide Series 2008 (NWS08)
-Saturday Night Stock Car (SNSC)
-Saturday Night Shootout

Carsets:
-2007 NWS08 Nationwide Series carset
-2016 NWS08 NASCAR K&N Pro Series carset
-Any additional carsets and/or single cars for the CASCAR mod (Only have the 170 base cars that come with the mod)
-Any additional carsets and/or single cars for the ASA Speed Trucks mod (Only have the base Trucks)
-IndyCar (OWR07) carsets and/or single cars from 2000-2001, 2003-2006, 2008-2012
-Any additional LMPv2 carsets (Only have the base cars that came with the mod)
-Any additional IndyCar Racing (2012) carsets (Only have the 2012 one that comes with mod)
-1997 Craftsmen Truck Series carset for the PWF_CTS mod
-1999 Craftsmen Truck Series carset for the PWF_CTS mod
-2004, 2005, & 2006 Craftsmen Truck Series carset for the PWF_CTS mod
-Any additional ARCA carsets for the ARCAv3 mod (I have the following already: 2003, 2012, 2013, and 2017)
-2005 BGN West carset for PWF_BGN mod
-2005 BGN East carset for the PWF_BGN mod
-2006 Busch East carset for the PWF_BGN mod
-2007 Busch East carset for the PWF_BGN mod

Tracks:
-Mostly interested in any tracks that you consider yourself to be rare. I'm not looking for anything in particular at the moment so any track you don't see often used and/or you obtained from a website that has gone down and wasn't re-uploaded, I'll take it. I have all the tracks I absolutely need for league racing and what not at this time.

Other:
-ASA Speed Trucks Templates
-CASCAR Templates
-ARCAv3 Templates

If you need help tracking anything down, ask me as there's a chance I have it or know where to obtain it. Also note not everything on my list may exist, if it doesn't, let me know and maybe we can partner up or find some people to help us make it come to life!

try this, its called NR2003 encyclopedia. Some guy was on the same mission as you but was short lived http://get-good.net/index.php?title=NR2003_Encyclopedia

Besides the Trucks you found, only other thing of interest in there I want at the moment is the 2007 ARCA set. Thank you, that was helpful for sure. There's a lot of other older stuff in there so hopefully some others will see it and get some use from it!

Pretty cool he put all the Trucks together, just gotta delete the excess and my PWF_Truck collection should be mostly complete. Don't believe anyone made anything after the 2007 season since the 2009 mod had 2008-2013 Trucks and then CWS_13/15 took over from there.

EDIT: Apparently I have a 2008 set for the mod as well. Doesn't appear to be anything after that, however.

Picked that up along with the 05-06 Part Time set. Also in the Truck set it had a 2009 one I didn't even know existed. Only thing I'm missing from the Trucks is the 1999 set.

For ARCA I have the following: 2003 Set, 2005-2006 Part Time Set, 2007 Set, 2012-2013 Set, 2017 Set A. Need anything that isn't those if you happen to find them. Thanks for all your help so far!

I stated in my original post that I had already checked those two websites, they led to dead links. I see some new ones on that list in the forum on here though, I'll check some of those out for sure. Thank you!


And that's what happens after almost 15 years, things come and they go. To save everything that's ever been release you would have had to start way back then. I applaud your effort to save as much as you can, but realize there's stuff that's gone for ever.

to find some of them, we need to contact the people who has been in the nr2003 community since the beginning. Though i doubt we can find some since the sim is 14 years old

I have been following NR2003 since it first came out. (I started with NR1999). I cannot tell you how many files I lost in 2007 when I lost 2 hard drives to lightening strikes. I acquired what I could after replacing those drives and again lot the files when I lost the hard drive the files were on in 2013. I just lost another hard drive last week. I am waiting for a controller board for the drive in the hopes that I can get the files back.

I had many of the files you are lookiing for. I had almost everything ever produced for the PWF-CTS mod. on the second drive I lost.

Agreed, I'm thankful for sure that not only has the sim lasted this long, but people are still developing new content literally everyday. Then again, no NASCAR game has come close to what NR2003 has done seeing as how iRacing is only Online and has no mod support, of course.

Wow, that was painful to read, sounds like a horrible case of bad luck. I'm only missing the 1999 set for actual NASCAR National Series replicas for that mod, I have 1995-1998, 2000-2009. Not sure if anything was made after 2009. I would take any other random sets and/or single trucks made though, I generally do love the mod. Hope everything gets restored and works out for ya, keep us updated!

Oh yes of course I fully understand this, just hoping multiple people were saving stuff for fifteen years and/or know the original authors or even could replicate the missing items themselves. If not, it's understandable because like you said, not everything lasts forever, especially since in the earlier years we didn't have all these file depots like Mediafire, Dropbox, etc. that do the work for us. That is exactly why I'm here though, I want to save as much as possible and preserve them so others can use them in the event they go down. I have all those CDs and Flash Drives with the current files I own on lockdown lol.

The ARCA ones should exist, I swear I have them for the V3 mod. Check the NR2003 Encyclopedia Mediafire folder. It's got a lot of the stuff still there.

Indeed. Some of the older stuff can come to the surface though. Point of example was the earlier NNC07 mods that I posted I was looking for and someone came forward with them for me to download (although said post/downloads have since been taken down. I still have them saved though, but won't post since it's not my place to do so.)

Pretty sure anything PWF_Trucks stopped after 09 because there was another mod out at that point. There's been someone recently that's been painting a 2017 set on that mod however.
