Repeated intro

Hey racers! 🏁 I'm back with a major update to Saturday Night Racing, focused on player feedback regarding collisions with the AI competitors. The AI have been completely re-worked in weight, power, and impact forces at all tracks. The general feedback the AI cars were "immovable" has been noted. The AI cars will now absorb impacts from the player to provide a more forgiving and fair racing experience.
