Mike, I don't believe it - *you* made a mistake?!?  I didn't think that was
possible...
I don't feel quite so bad now ad *my* stupid start.  That's what I get for not
having time to practice.  I spun trying to back out of a 3-wide situation in
T3. :-(

I just joined rascar and I believe it is pretty much the same as any other
league/group of drivers out there.  The primary advantage to joining with a
group is to avoid the constant/intentional wreckers.  Depending on what yhou
are looking for, points/standings or fun you should look for the group that
interests you.  There are a lot of good drivers in rascar, me being new to
NR2K3 I am getting my ***whooped and just trying not to be a menace.  I
can race all week long against the AI but when it comes to humans it is a
whole new story, I do race on sierra but that is different as well because
of all the different setups out there.  I personally would like to see some
more organized practice, or a "happy hour" if you will to spend seat time
against the actuall guys I will be racing.
I do not think the response you got out of the rascar group on your posting
is any worse/different than you get in any online chat or group concerning
racing.  People will misunderstand what you are saying and react, sometimes
in a not so nice way.
Hell, it was just a racin' deal!  :-)

My server is 'usually' up on tuesdays and thursdays at 8pm eastern.  John's is
up a lot more(24/7?), but open setups I think.
