Wabbits?

        hehe..  back with GPL 1.1, a group of us F3 drivers would host a F3
race.  In the comments area of GSB we would put things like.. "F3 CARS
ONLY", "F3 F3 F3 F3", ect..  There was no way anyone could miss the text
saying something that indicated that this was an F3 ONLY race.

        What would happen is we would get 5 or six F1 drivers join.  We would
ask them politely to get an F3 car.  Some of them left right a way, some
of them even asked what an F3 was.  Out of those that asked, we would
describe what they were and how to race them online.  We were polite as
can be.

        There were those that said things like.  "I'll race what ever I want"
and then would proceed to ruin our F3 races.  There were also those that
even after being asked several times to get an F3 car, they would just
continue running the F1's as if they were never asked.

        So, One day I got POed and when the F1 car came around to pass me, I
turned into him to crash him and get his attention.  "Bagged me a
Wabbit" I would say :)  Then most of the time, the F1 driver would yell
out some abcenities and ask why I did that.  After telling him, he would
then either leave, create a F3 car and have fun with us, or *** that
F3 cars were not race cars and shouldn't be allowed to be here. (even
though it was My server).

        Since then,  every F1 car that entered an F3 ONLY race and didn't want
to leave after being asked politely at least twice.  They were Wabbits,
and Wabbit hunting season was open :)  (Elmor Fudd, Buggs Bunny)

        Now that GPL 1.1 and GSB 2.0 have come out with the ability to make
everyone drive what the host wants them to drive, There are no more
Wabbits.  We who belong to Wabbit Hunters Anonymous have got to gether
and are setting up a Wabbit run.  Here we team up with 50% Wabbit cars
and 50% F3 cars.  the object is to not allow the Wabbit cars to make a
lap, or make the least possible number of laps.  This is done by having
the F3 cars try all they can to knock the Wabbits off course, crash them
or anything you can think of.  Then after a bit, we switch cars so that
the F3 drivers get the Wabbit cars and Wabbit drivers get F3 cars and do
the same thing again.

        Not only will this be fun as heck, it will be a tool to teach us
accident avoidance, car control and ect..

        Again, because there is a way to keep the Wabbits out of the F3 races
with GSB and GPL, Wabbits are now extinct :(
