You will need a paint utility like Paint shop Pro to paint these skins.
After painting the texture file, open the skin.str file with your notepad.
Delete the line, Blank Stallion,Centaur, etc. And rename your skin to whatever 
you want.

Copy the entire skin folder and paste it in:

 C:/Program Files/Ratbag/Dirt Track Racing/Data/Skins

If there isn't a skins folder in your Data folder, you'll need to create one.
Do this by right clicking inside the Data folder, and create new folder.
And Name it Skins.

Hope this was helpfull to you.
Happy Paintin,
Docster
