This may not be a big deal to you all, but after 3 months, I did it!
Qualified 2nd at Monza, beat Black Jack to the first turn and led all
the way, despite several anxious moments, sucking air through my teeth
on the last lap.
Only at novice level, but boy, this sim is brilliant.

Way to go Glenn! Feels great doesn't it? Nothing like having that newspaper
*** on the wall with your name and photo on it!

Now you need to get one online<g>

I know you added a smiley, Bruce, but this kind of response is why GPL fans
have such a bad image on this newsgroup. I've been GPL'ing for 4 months,
without getting even close to winning a race, and I think Glenn deserves an
unreserved "attaboy!".

I just saw it as a reminder of GPL's greatest asset... that there's always
another, higher mountain to climb when you reach every peak. I can't
really believe anyone could read that as critical even without a smiley!

But then there's always somebody ready to say how offended other people
will be. In the UK we call it the Mary Whitehouse effect :-)

But wouldn't winning a GP level race be a GREATER thrill?  I say, onwards and
upwards!
BTW, Bruce *did* congratulate the man...

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

Thank you.

Eldred, we don't say "attaboy" down here.  we say "Congratulations!"
That *was* unreserved.
