I think he raced for a while, but crashed out early.

Wouldn't have helped me, I was just looking for a quick monza sprint
(Hence the Lotus, which I normally don't drive even for short races.)
If the next race is Mexico I don't think it will be an issue.

Hmm, I can understand why you want it to, but it would have prevented
me to participate in this weekends race, so I can't say I'm too
thrilled. :-)

From what I saw everybody was careful at the start, but there may have
been more going on further back.

:-) I had about a 30 sec lead at the moment. I think Erb was on second.
And I just rolled over it once, barely stopping.

I unfortunally don't have the converted tracks, so I'm out.

Trust me no one ever reads the comments. The F3UMCServer has F3 in its
name and it is mentioned 2 other times in the line, but I always have
people joining. I keep waiting for the question, "Why does my car only
have 4 gears?" or "Where are all my setups?" or "Why is my car so
slow?"

I would go with a special chat room and discuss the password in there
prior to racing. You could make a EGP Chat room. I need to locate
another computer to setup as a server so we could maybe have a
dedicated full GP server. Wish I would have had time to join you this
weekend as I would have maybe given Eldred someone to see :-) maybe,
Even though he is still faster than me. Can I bring my F3 car to the
Mexico Race :-) hahahaha. For some reason the F1 cars are just way too
fast now.

You should have stayed in that F3 ring race last night SG. Bruce's new
lotus***pit made it great fun! Only a 9:53 tho, couple spins :)

Hehe... Ok, no one reads the comments...<g>

Dedicated server? As in one that loops GP races, or as one that we can use
anytime we want? If it's the former, I don't think people would run them on a
daily basis. If it's the latter, I'll let you in on a secret...
I run *3* servers... I can use them anytime I want....<g>

Yes, I know about your servers, and I realize that a dedicated server
for GP races would maybe get less use than the F3 server does now, but
. . . why not! :-)

Can you amagine how many would join get 5 laps in and wonder what the
pit board meant when it said X more laps to go!

Would have to call it the
FullGrandPrixRaceServerLONGYouNoWantToRaceHereIfYouNoWantToBeHereForHours.Server

*If* we run it, it would be the morning of the 500 - May 28th. I ran an 80 lap
race Saturday night for my IICC league. Whew...<g>
