Ian,

I realize you were having calibration problems at Rouen but NO APPOLOGIES
ARE NECESSARY. When you can run 4 secs a lap faster than me I was in the
way. I deserved to get punted. I know it wasn't intentional. I was thrilled
to have someone stay in a race as long as you did. Trying to catch up made
me drive harder (not necessarily faster). After spinning a few times I was
28 secs behind but I never say die. I just wish others would stay in and
finish races. You tried as long as you could. Even though you seriously
kicked my ass it was still a blast. Thanks.

Joe

It's very nice that you don't blame Ian, but why do you say 'Everyone
read this!' in the topic if this message is only for Ian?

The point I was trying to make is that it was nice that someone at least
tried to stay for the whole race. My VROC experience so far is that when
ever someone has the slightest trouble they leave the race. I still have yet
to finish a race online. I guess I am just trying to make the culprits feel
guilty. I realize connection problems etc. play a role in this also but
seeing the chat messages "I suck" or "I am to slow" with the ensuing loss of
that driver tells me its not just connectivity. Even with his controller
problems Ian stayed in as long as possible. I was much slower than Ian and
probably turned into his line when he punted me. That makes it my fault yet
he had enough class to appologize.
I have read several times here how people are frustrated about drivers
giving up at the first sign of trouble. It is double frustrating for me as I
am brand new to VROC.
