Hold your line, race your race. If you're in the lead, you don't need
to 'let' anybody win, even if their car is faster. It's their job to
get around you in a clean and safe manner.

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

Says the guy who took about a second a lap out of his competitors at the
Indy225. It's a scam folks. He's not as pathetic as he makes himself out to
be. <vwg>

Anyone who ***es about courtesy in racing can go to the stands and be
courtious
while passing nachos.
It's called RACING for a reason!

Ah, but modesty (AKA sharking) will get you everywhere. :)
You sound like a real nice guy Eldred, unfortunately you're the only one who
disagrees with my post. :)
Thanks for the replies.

Well.. if it was as you explain it then the host is a jerk. Can you
tell me what server it is so I can avoid it?

I always take the low line unless I'm loose in the turn then I will
take high and let the draft pass. People get too pissy about wanting
to get ahead of you. So its all subjective. My trying to control a
loose car looks like blocking to the crackhead screaming at the
monitor. :)

It's the Internet. Most people don't do anything with their real
name.
The way Papyrus could have handled this is to force people to enter a
CD key to join online races. And if you cause too many crashes (I'm
sure they could come up with a way to do this) your account is
suspended.
