GPL - NO NO NO! Track download sites gone missing.

As some of you might now I run the GPL track database (
http://www.racesimcentral.net/ ). Housekeeping info for all 280+ tracks is
tricky at times. I've just recently gone through ALL track download
links and all these tracks listed below are NOT available from any
sites on the net currently which is very sad. Not sad for me as a GPL
driver since I do have them all, but sad for everyone in the GPL
community wanting any of these tracks.

- Glacier Speedway
- Riverside
- Undies Skid Pad

GPLEA:

Eric Bourgouin:

------------------------------------------------------------
Missing but temporarily hosted on my server:
------------------------------------------------------------

If anyone does NOT want their track to be temporarily available for
download from my site then please contact me.

2.
If you do have any info on why a certain site or track is unavailable
please give me a holler!

   Perhaps it is time to start distributing archival CDroms of all the
available tracks?

If any of those authors don't mind me hosting them on The Pits, I don't mind putting them up.  I think I've got most of them as
well...

Cheers!

I might be wrong - but didnt MB insist on people showing him a screenshot
demonstrating that they'd driven a Bronda in GPL before sending them
Riverside - or something insane like that
