1988 Winston Cup to MENCS19 Carset README
1988 Cup Set, now one of the most iconic years for paint schemes and so many heroes it's unbelievable comes to our age!
FLASH forward to 2020 and the Splash N Go MENCS19 mod, MASH them together and you get something like what we've created here. (We realize this may well have been done by others) Also, we know that we could have included many other drivers from within the vast array of "field fillers" but we feel as though we hit the major major marks here.
Our homage to the origins of the sim and the sport:
The Stunod Racing Team Community 1988 Winston Cup Series on the MENCS19 mod.

First, we need to thank/credit the painters who participated in the set:

-Jebrown

This was more of an "Invitational" kind of set as we have not made it public aside from some choice screenshots...our goal was to quickly put this together to finish our 2nd set within the month of October 2020. We're coming in just under the wire!

Second we need to thank/credit many community sites that have made logos/numbers and other elements available to the community over the last 17 years, some of which found their way onto cars in this set. As the saying goes, "Painters don't throw nothing away!"
Thanks to: (sadly many of these sites have gone dark and are no longer available)

I hope I didn't forget anyone or any site, but we just want to credit the NR2003 community in general.
Also to the various search engines that help us to find many items for the cars:

This set is dedicated to the younger members of the NR2003 community...Again we wanted to go to a time when we were so immersed in racing these heroes, simple and sweet. Hopefully, you'll be able to find that place again with this set. Maybe younger members can appreciate racing with the larger than life heroes of an era gone by, the drivers who went before and made everything we see on the track in this sport today possible. By putting this on the newest of Stockcar mods in NR2003, we want to imbibe some history into your sim racing.
We also included the legendary Fred Jones car in 1988 guise to tie it to NR2003's past.
ENJOY!!!
Highbank & Team
