thanks Reconnoiter you beat me to it again...

I can see your idea for the pXent_setcollisionflag etc but having the doll flung out of the car is not the main purpose. Rather I was interested in a more authentic toycar with a driver exposed.

It is interesting that most car race sims I see just skip over this by making the driver fixed or the car is covered so you can't see the driver inside. I am doing something more super mario/toycar ish...

In fact its nearly finished - little toy car races around on a red and white table cloth trying to hit sugar cubes... includes dust trails...
