I sure didn't see you do anything wrong David; textbook IMO. For someone
new to Nascar sim racing, you did a lot better than many, many vets I know
in the same situation.
Like I said earlier, you ran a good defense; courteous when it needed to
be, and perfectly fine defensive when it needed to be.

I mean, it is called RACING..........not Mark Martining<G> (that'll stir
up any Martin fans in the ng<G>).

I used to be a Mark Martin fan. But at my age, it's kinda hard pulling
for a car with Viagra all over it. :-P

"Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the
citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a
double-edged sword. It both emboldens the ***, just as it narrows the
mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the
*** boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no
need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry,
infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their
rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I
have done. And I am Caesar." -- Julius Caesar

I chose not to qualify....started at the back of the pack just to watch how
guys drove at Sears for the first time in an online race. Got hit three
times, was more than 3/4's of a lap down to George who I race with there all
the time......beat him occasionally. I chose to pit and watch the end of
the Bristol NASCAR race on TV. Did I finish as high as 11th? Cool.

TP

PS: The "surprise" performance of the group (I knew George would dominate)
was Andre....who was consistent and pretty fast. Nice job, Andre.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Sorry, but I'd say that's a stupid rule...

Oh, damn...that sucks. I hadn't thought about that... Old habits die hard,
huh? :)
