Since we use a serial numbering convention for screenshot filenames,
you must copy the images you want to save to a different folder or
rename them so you don't overwrite them next time you run the game
and take screenshots.  The game always starts at serial number 000
and increments up to 999 when saving screenshots.

Car and Engine Setups
**********************************************************************************
In the Shop section of the game, it is possible to set up an invalid engine 
combination that will prevent your engine from working when you get to the 
Race-track.  If this happens you will see the "invalid engine combination" 
warning in the engine graph window.  
In the Shop, you should change the Valves to match your block in this case and 
the best way to do that is to set your valves to Auto Calculate. 
You may also need to adjust your Headers/Port settings.

IHRA is an extremely accurate Drag Racing Sim and if you create an engine combination
that you cannot get to work, you can always hit the Reset button on the Engine 
Screen and this will restore your engine settings to the selected 
chassis' default engine.  Enjoy your engines!

Each car has it's own default Setup for engine, transmission, wings, wheelie-bars, etc.
If you change your Chassis, you retain your old Setup.  To change to your new Chassis'
default setups, simply hit the "Reset All" tab on Chassis screen and you will then have 
the default Setups for your new Chassis.  You can also keep the old Setup or create 
your own and save them. 

Enjoy IHRA and we'll see you on-line at the races!
