    I came from TEN, where I was on for over a year.  I cancelled my account
last month, and for the first time I tried out GSB tonight.  I'm not kidding
when I say that tonight's experience was better then any experience I had in
over a year on TEN.
    First, the people on there are the friendliest mo-fo's you could ask to
race against.  Very, very nice folks.  No whiney 15-year-olds, like on TEN.
No idiots spamming the chat rooms.  Just friendly friggin people.
    Secondly, the interface on GSB is very easy to use.  Kudos to the
programmers.
    Third, little-to-NO lag during the race.  There was 10 of us I
believe......I have cable, so I pinged like 60-70 to the server.  And there
was very little lag.  To be honest, it was equal to IF NOT BETTER then TEN.
I am not joking.  I cannot believe I didn't try this out sooner, because I
would have been off of TEN in a flash.

    I'm glad there are more and more TEN users beginning to figure out that they
are being taken by TEN. ;-)

    I was going to send a private email to you but there is no address to send
it to.   We on GSB are not "Mo-Fo's",  nor are we "friggin people".  Just my
opinion, but, We on GSB are "the friendliest" because we don't use this
language.

Welcome to the "TEN used to be's" club. <g>

You mean you dont like 5% Dega races with 23 14 year olds who have 0 and 1
skill at all other tracks, a 15 at Dega, and overall LPI of 6.5??  ;)

Well, compete on Ovals is not just boring, but requires none or close to
none skill, some practice and a good setup...compete at Glen on NROS, and
wil races tells me that the guy has some skill, right ? :-)

    Careful now!  <g>

Hey Scot,
    You are actually half right  I wasn't competitive "at all" even at the Glen. ;-)
NASCAR is fun but just not my cup of tea.  GPL is the same way. However, GPL "F3" does
come close.  I'm waiting on the SCCA SS b or c.   I'd be most happy with the
H-Production but I don't think that will ever see the light of day.

    Now that I'm very competitive in F3, I wonder what the chances of..

Completely false

Oval racing takes an entirely different type of skill.  My personal
experience is in SCCA and although I have never driven competitively on
ovals,  I have driven on them and its not easy.

The concentration, skill, feedback, and setup knowledge is extremely
different than road course racing.

Well the Glen was my home track in SCCA and your lap times still blow mine away <VBG>    I
have trouble braking the 120 barrier at the Glen in NROS =)    Of course, Ill just blame
it on NASCAR not running the Boot ;)

Ive run a couple of F3 races,  The cars just seem too "castrated" for me <VBG>  Maybe F2
would be better.   Although I like the idea of F1, F2, and F3 for GPL tremendously...
The F3 seems just a bit too slow for me.  Maybe I just need to run some more races with
it.

I want a Spec Racer and/or Sport 2000 racer simulation <VBG>    Hell,  lets just throw in
some Forumula Fords,  F440 (or whatever they are called now),  some V's and lets go racing
<G>

How about a CAN-Am Reunion sim.  Now that would ROCK!!!

G.T.S. Racing is still primarily a NASCAR Racing team (except for me).  My teammates will
be (hopefully) upgrading their PCs this summer/fall so they can start running GPL with me
more often online.   Tim Lansberry (Knight82) is definitely the best N2 racer of the
team.   Im really the only GPL racer, at least for now.

Maybe an associate membership level needs to be created for GTS Racing so that we can give
access to the GTS Garage to them as well ;)   Besides, I just paid for the registration
for GTS-Racing.com ROFL

You would be better off with 99.99999999995% of the GPL racers out there than myself. <G>
Plus,   I race the Gurney Eagle exclusively.   Its tough enough to learn to drive and
develop setups for it, let alone all the other cars.   Although i love the sound of the
Ferrari =)

See you online.

For the record:

I am a converted TEN to GPL-GSB mofo too.

We have a few folks out there (seems to be more lately) that have a
little of the TEN attitude. But, over all, the mofo's are a great
group of people.

Its getting better all the time.

Maybe, Motorsport Simulations is doing an online SCCA racing simulation.
Btw, Motorsport Simulations is part of the former crew which did
Warbirds...so they have somewhat of a good track record at online ***.
