Here is my second video of the PlayStation 2 version of NASCAR Thunder 2003 where I actually drive the first custom stock car I made in it: a remake of Hornet #41 stock car from the Daytona USA series, inspired by a British KZread user named PacGuy765 (a.k.a. Prince Jamie The 7th) because of his videos where he remakes this same exact stock car in the UK PlayStation 4 version of "Need for Speed: Payback" and drives it in the UK PS4 version of "The Crew 2." However, I renamed it to the Hornet #141 in this game because oddly, due to customization limitations, I couldn't add the number "41" to the sides and the roof of this stock car. This is the blue-and-red version (since it's my favorite), which is used as the paint job when "Automatic Transmission" is selected in Daytona USA (which I have for the PC) and Daytona USA 2 (which I used to play at Chuck E. Cheese's many years ago), but for some reason, in most tracks in "Daytona Championship USA" (which I haven't played yet), it's used when "Manual Transmission" is selected instead. This version looks similar to Richard Petty's old 1973 Dodge Charger stock car and Jeff Gordon's old blue, red and yellow stock car, doesn't it?
In this race, I race at Daytona 500 at daytime (since it's the track that was featured in the Daytona USA series but was modified in its games) and do fine (aside from a few minor mishaps). However, at one point, the #10 stock car suddenly spun out of control but didn't cause any crashes, so I was under caution. Normally, I would show you the pit stop area for any one of my custom cars if I was under caution, but this time, I chose to save myself from being sent all the way to 42nd place by skipping the pit stop (the tires on my car were fine anyway) so I could stay in 13th place and continue catching up, so I'm sorry you don't get to see it. After making an effort of going to 1st place on the final lap, I won this race! I performed a couple donuts in the bonus celebration minigame, but had to stop when smoke started billowing from the engine compartment. Oh well, at least I had some great fun!
I plan to make more custom cars in the PlayStation 2 version of this game (such as the red-and-yellow version of this stock car from the Daytona USA arcade game series, the Noo-Noo vacuum cleaner from Teletubbies, Brum from the British kids' TV show of the same name, Lightning McQueen from the Disney/Pixar Cars movie series, some stock cars from "NASCAR Racers," some characters from "Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks," which was later renamed "Monster Truck Adventures" for the Christian version/counterpart, etc.) as well as remaking some of the custom cars I made in the Nintendo GameCube version (like Putt-Putt from Humongous Entertainment's kids' point-and-click adventure game series, Grave Digger the USHRA/Monster Jam monster truck, "2002 Fun," etc.). If you have any ideas for custom stock cars for this game for me, please comment below.
