CREDITS: The Ray Wenderlich Tutorial Team for the 2D Apple Games by Tutorials excellent book [Caroline Begbie, Mike Berg, Michael Briscoe, Ali Hafizji, Marin Todorov and Ray Wenderlich]. The book contained a tutorial on building a Circuit Racer game. I used the book resources (sprites, images, sound files) and updated 8Racer with my own buttons of AppInfo & Sound On/Off.
