I guess I was laughing to hard at the thought of RASCAR trying to race at
Bristol.  ROFLMAO!

Christ I am just *not* with it tonight.  Must be sleep deprivation.
Appologies, John, for replying to sender rather than group - I'm sure you
can do without my pointless ramblings in your inbox...

What's after Bristol?  I avoid that place and leave it to the real men ;-)

Not trying to be a smartass here, but "leagues" have drivers that have some
level of experience......most don't allow total beginners into their leagues
(unless its a novice league).

You guys couldn't stay out of each other's doors at Michigan....with
four-wide racing a piece of cake, the track is so wide!  Now....you want to
race at Bristol....a place that's like racing inside a washing
machine....with the spin cycle turned on!  No way, Jose'!

Now, if you also ran a "veteran sim drivers only" RASCAR race (say, right
before the all-comers RASCAR race) you'd have a better chance of green flag
racing for more than three laps.  I surely don't see why there is so much
objection to having two RASCAR races on Saturday.  One for the veteran
r.a.s.'ers (an invite only event)....and one following immediately after for
"all levels" r.a.s.'ers.  I know I'd love to race some of the old timers
like Tom Osborn and Mike Grandy and Don Wilshe....and, yes...even Ymenard!
There's lots of these veterans that come to r.a.s. every single day, they
just don't make posts very often.  But they are still here!  Bet you could
get them to come out of the woodwork and participate in a veterans-only
RASCAR race (maybe only twice a month for the vet race would be
better....keep it fresh???).  And, guess what....that would get them back
involved in this sim community....maybe many of them would run in the "all
levels" race too (I would)....just to help out the new guys!  Isn't that
what RASCAR is really all about?  Promoting sim racing and helping the new
guys?

But what the hell....I give up.

It looks like it ran at 3pm eastern, and at 6pm eastern (after some
massaging).  I neglected to restart the real 9pm server, so it didn't
run.

There were three of us in the 5pm race, and NONE of us bumped into each
other, so to Tom, a hearty "neener neener neener".  :)

I've only had ONE league ask me what qualifications I had(previous leagues,
online experience, etc).

David called attention to the fact that you can't run the same lines in N2K2
that you can on the real track.  So, how the HELL would you expect people to be
able to go 4-wide in the game?

Time constraints.  Most people probably don't want to run for 3-4 hours in the
middle of a Saturday afternoon/evening.  I might, but I don't have a family to
worry about.  And what would be the cutoff to make the veterans race?  Length
of online racing experience?  Sheer speed?  I could make it based on the first
criterium, but not the second.

Truthfully, I doubt it.  And aren't these guys *already* in several 'elite'
leagues?  Why would they want to race with the 'common' folks?

Comments like that make me wonder why you seem to have so much...spite.  It
comes out as "Well, you don't want to do it the way *I* want, so *** you".  If
I've mis-read that, please explain your true intentions.

I was only kidding you anyway.  Didn't you get it..... "I exited because
there were too many cautions!" ????  You had "cautions" turned off, right?
