Indeed. However this weekend I ran into several apron-passers and
first lap heroes. When I told a guy who was a constant pain for all
the others out there that he should try to calm down a little bit i
got a simple "fu 176" answer :)

Yes, the wreckers have to pay for their hobby, and it's probably not
that funny that is't worth $40 once a week.

Hi Olav,

That's bad racing, bad manners and an immature attitude, but it's not
wrecking.

You can't do much about them. WON doesn't have funds to moderate all races.
And I think WON actually needs to be free for all buyers of N4, both
experienced and less experienced drivers, so we have to put up with the
rookies too.

IMO, the best reply to those guys is to just join another race. You've got
more to lose than them.

How about replying something like 'congrats on your first words, now work on
your style', or 'hey, it can speak', or 'I think I heard a frogg squawk' :-)

Never said that :) And it is only half as annoying as intentionals,
since a bit of smart drivng can keep me away from trouble like that.
