Jester - I know nothing is intentional, and my only point in showing you those pics was so you do too. You seemed a bit piffed after the last race, no need for that and the idea here is to have fun... not be walk away upset. Hey, I finished behind you and I was laughing most of the race! Dan and Sysgen took a beating too.. I hope they can trace down the hiccups for you.
See you at Mid-Ohio!

Fun race but a lot of bumps!!! I got kicked off track so often I can't beleive I managed to finish, the car was pulling hard to the left and I had a bad vibration. Even at the start, someone hit me from the back on the grid and sent me off track.

I was a bit mad after the first two laps, I put in a good 20-25 hours of practice and some people show up with almost no practice. Not pointing the finger at anyone here, I don't even know who pushed me

Anyway, it's all in good fun and looking foward to the next one.

Only one recoomendation I would make, when getting back on track after going off, pleeeease be carefull, do not just jump on the track, listen for oncoming cars and stay on the opposite side of the line.

And Gary, good move on removing the non members, that puts me in fourth!!!
and will you be putting the race logs on your server?

See you all at the next race

I downloaded Mid-Ohio and tried it a bit. What a great track. I have seen races on TV there but didn't get a real feel for it. I would love to drive that track for real. What is a competitive time for us on there?

Now I am not sure that picture is actually telling the full story...................... If you look closely I am actually pulling to the left to avoid a car which must have bogged on the line resulting in me having no where to go. That is my side of the story and I am sticking to it.

Dan, ever since I took the lead from you at RA you have been a MASTER at the starting line. I believe that you had a plan, just didn't fill Sysgen in on it!

Wouldn't have mattered as I filled in that center lane with my car immediately following that picture, no way you would have made it by..

New Intel based Macs can run Windows in a dual boot configuration I believe, that would work fine.

Gary - I may be the master of the start but I relly need to master the finish part!!!! Agree the last couple of races have been a little rough. I think we should all try to think of this less as a game where shunts mean nothing and more likle real world where I for one dont like punting my car into someone else.

Still - its all fun and should be taken the in the right spirtit!

Ok, did somebody died here, did I miss a memo ??? It's all so quiet now!!

Anyone for a practice tonight, or any night, I connected a couple of times in the last 2 weeks and no one is ever on the server.

I guess the warmer weather is getting to people
