LOL!  Hehe, _I_ got thrown out this weekend :)

Some of the moderators are a bit, um, sensitive and aren't real good at
applying the 'rules' evenly.

I was entering the pits and becuase the car ahead slowed more than me, I had
to go left a bit earlier than anticipated and when I did, the left-rear
wheel caught the very end of the curb just as the entrance to the pit
run-down area starts.

This caused my car to upset.  It was one hell of a save.

Then the moderator comes on and says "Park It".  I asked why, and he said
for causing an accident on pit entry.

I abided, but it sure pissed me off.  I've never, ever, in 11 years of this
been asked to park a car before, and to be asked for something I really
couldn't avoid was bullshit.

99% of the time I like those guys, but all it takes is one to ruin it all.

After spending a few hours with both Stock Car Evolution and Natl Stock Car
this weekend I can finally say my NR2003 days are finally, officially over.

While obviously still a beta I can see a GREAT NASCAR sim coming around
before our eyes.

My biggest concern is whether online drivers have enough skills to actually
race...
