Thanks to you, all is working now! But the instructions are vague and incomplete in my opinion.
I downloaded the .rar file from Race Department, unzipped it to my desktop, then loaded THAT folder directly to the AC root. I read and re-read the instructions but I cannot find anything that mentions "merging" the two files with those in the AC root. And the folder that is produced when I unzipped the .RAR file is NOT an RAR folder. This is not mentioned either. So, my opinion again, I followed the instructions as they were written. UNLESS I missed something, in which case I apologize for my error. Again, thank you.
