I am finding that the wreckers are moving away from the Papy servers now for
fear of gettin thier cdkey banned, so papy servers are prob the safest
servers to race on (appart from passworded), now if papy could just raise
the skill required to join some of the RC ST SW to 3-4 :-)

Yea Dave, I guess you have a point but when you read the page
Papy aka Sierra says straight up that they dont have alot of time
to review these replays & if it becomes too many they will stop.
So it seems destined to possibly to be a 'failure' before it starts
only because there are so many wreckers [or were so many] in
these papyloop races. But only time will tell..eh? :)

Another good point but if Papy or Sierra does not have the time via
all the wrecker replays to review this all might be dead before it really
starts? I hope not tho'...

Of course, there is also peoples lack of understanding in what a
wrecker is. I just did a Papy served datyona race (got 2nd:) and there
was no sign of intentional wreckers who were there just to be a pain
in the butt.

However, there were a lot of bad driving around, so there was pileups
all the time. And of course, people where shouting "#24 is a wrecker"
over and over. This guy were also shouting how to report, and I asked
him if it was intentional or not. Answer, he didn't move up when I
lapped him.

So, if papy gets flooded by complaints on people who just can't drive,
but are not intentional wrecker (a very big difference in attitude) I
can see a big problem coming.

Bring on a LPI limit, then people will think twice before trying to
pass on the apron, but that should probably not be mentioned now when
Papy had finally started a great effort to do something about the
problem :)

Hey Thom, Don't get me going on the League Boys. Many nights I've been in N3
League "Open" servers, and have gotten many "You should Join our League"
invitations. Just don't beat them, I have a lot of replays of when I've past
their "Hotlap" leader (mostly due to a wreak/spin) only to have the SOB
hammering on my back bumper and 1/4 panels trying to take me out.

The last memorable incident was a win at tally where this league "Airhead"
tried to claim credit for my win with the bump he gave me. On viewing the
replay it was an obvious attempt to take me out with a push to my right rear
1/4 panel. Which did more harm to him than me. One of the many reasons that
I'm not really interested in leagues.

Big! Big! problems coming Olav but again this only deals with Papy
races.. I am with a good group now and the 6-10'ranking is nice! :)

I think "any good racer just won't go into a papyloop" would just about say
"League"

I totallly agree... it's hard enough to find any SW races as it is,
let alone ones that are little better than good practice for dodging
"trouble in turn 3".  I haven't seen a ST race yet that wasn't one
long continuous wreck.  The 4-10 ranked superspeedways are usually a
blast, but some competition against people who have actually practiced
hard to become competent drivers at say, Texas or Atlanta or Michigan,
would be greatly appreciated.
