Whatever....
I race in a league now with 50 cars on track at once.
I race in another league with 34 cars on grid (limited to that only for
"historical" reasons GP'79)
12 is seriously NOT enough. I would quit a league that only had 12
competitors per race.
30? I may have missed that - I apologize if I did. 30 seems closer to what
I would hope for.... but still a long way from anything NEW or
GROUND-BREAKING.
For Jolly Roger, or whatever moniker you are using today ----
I have told you already that I am not this David Fischer that you seem to
have an unnatural attachment to.
If you feel better or somehow self-satisfied by beleiving that I am, go
ahead and do so. It doesn't change the fact that I am not that person, nor
does it change my opinions, and finally it does not change my impression
that you are just a loud-mouthed,***y (probably with NOTHING to back it
up) little mouthpiece with a lack of repect for anyone else and of little or
no value to this world.
