yes you should just be able to use the software center once you've added
the PPA.... that said I've never done it like that (I always use 'apt-get'
on the command line).

Since you have already added the PPA repo, you can go into a command
terminal and type
$ sudo apt-get install speed-dreams-base

it should install the base and data packages, along with any dependancies
that are required.

The way I have done it is to manually download the '.debs' (may be in
'/var/cache/apt/archive' if you've already been trying) and manually
installing them with:
$ sudo dpkg --install
speed-dreams-base-data_2.0.0~rc1-0ubuntu1~oneiric2_all.deb
speed-dreams-base_2.0.0~rc1-0ubuntu1~oneiric2_i386.deb

although that will stop if there are missing dependancies.

The '.deb' packages can be got by following the 'technical details' on the
PPA page, which leads you here:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/speed-dreams/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/s/speed-dreams-base/

Once installed you should have an icon in the start menu, or you can start
it from the command line:
$ /usr/games/speed-dreams-2

Hope this helps,
Simon

PS. Are you sure you should be driving after therapy 

PPS. There might be a problem with 10.10 and the libenet dependancies....see:
