I might add to David's response......that RASCAR is something of a
micro-cosm of things that go on daily in the sim racing world. Many of the
"problems" with RASCAR are part of all sim racing leagues. Most of the
discussion is about sim racing in RASCAR, but it applies to all of sim
racing without regard to the type of racing, or the simulation software
even. It is my personal opinion that as long as "your ticket into a RASCAR
race" is simply the fact that you are a visitor to this newsgroup.....makes
the "topic" of RASCAR very much appropriate for general discussion here.
That's just my opinion, however.
