Hey ZZ! A balst from the past

I still have the IGPS1 replays and was watching our mid-air pass at the
top of Moss.  :)

It brought freaking tears to my eyes.  Man, those were the days...

IGPS 1 and 2 were definitely what Papy had in mind when they came up
with GPL...

I love you guys.  :)

Yea, I still remember that pass like it was yesterday.  Those 2 season's
were the best. Most of us from IGPS still race together. It was and still is
a great group.

At least I gave it a shot though... :)

For some reason, after upgrading my system, GPL started showing
momentary stutter pauses, even if I didn't use the enhanced
car/wheel/track graphics.  It even does it in replays.  I can't use the
OpenGL patch because the screen just goes black, so I'm stuck on D3D.

You'd think that with an AMD 1ghz and a radeon 8500, the performance
thing wouldn't be an issue.

And like Toney said, my Nascar ***ion is a redneck thing (and you
guys always knew I harbored a not-so-secret love of stockcar racing).

It would be really nice to have more road courses for the Papy Nascar
sims.  Finally having Riverside (N3/NL) was GREAT, but nobody has
provided a conversion for that track.  I just hope that Dave Noonan et
al will release the various GPL tracks for NR2k2 as they finish them
instead of holding back.

I was going through the email from IGPS/1 and 2.  Lots of funny stuff in
there. The best has to be Matteo's meltdown, with the Cornflakes emails
being 2nd on the comedy scale.  :)
