Now all I need is a corny voiceover, some F1 footage and a primetime TV
slot...
IMO its time for an E.Pickett fund raiser. I think his problems are rooted
in his 1gig athlon :) He needs a new mobo/cpu badly and WE all should make
even a small contribution to get this for him. We all (VROC-RASCAR-RSAF1)
OWE him for his years of making available servers for our racing enjoyment.
Once this gets rolling Ill root post something.

I think it's positive motvation. If you don't earn more than 20
penalty points in a race, you can race the next weekend. That's
positive.
I don't care as much about quals as I do the race session.
When you get right down to it, these are the things you can be given
penalties for:
1) Spinning on your own or causing an incident within 2 laps of a
start/restart. This has ALWAYS been a problem. I was actually
going to make that within 5 laps of a restart, and I still
might change it.
2) Stupid passing moves (racing on the apron, or a pass that is
ill-advised that causes a caution).
3) Excessive chatting.
Those three things are what causes our cautions and incidental
contact". That doesn't appear to be all that ***in tough to
remember. DSon't spin, don't do stupid shit that causes an incident,
and don't chat.
The rest (logging on with the right car file and not serving the
previous winner DQ) are just plain self awareness.
If the reasons for the demerits are not precisely defined, some
whiney little *** is gonna start crying and moaning because "it's
not stated in the rules".
Sorry Peter - you've lost me... I made what up?

I would drop all the chat rules though.
I would also drop all the rules about posting and griping, etc. You
can simply state that unsportsman like conduct will be delt with
accordingly by the admins.
Also, although I like the idea of last weeks winner starting last, I
don't like the idea of getting an intentional black flag. Just skip
qual and start at or near the back. And if there is too much
controversy over it I would just drop it all together.

Agreed, Eldred has been very generous. Even though I don't race every week
I'd gladly pony up.

Seriously, I considered putting a Paypal button on my webpage asking for
donations. I definitely could use the few dollars people might give. But, I
decided against it. Pride? Probably. I didn't(and don't) want to be a
beggar. Thanks, though.
