Why dont we use the ras server for practice during the week

Using the RAS server for midweek practice

A poster suggested RASCAR drivers practise together on the usually empty RAS server, and its owner reposted access details. Members discussed whether they race on Papyrus open servers, with some saying open servers breed over-aggressive driving and damage LPI ratings.

There is an ras server but its always empty, we should use it more often
I never see any RASCAR drivers there. A practice session with other RASCAR drivers would probably be the single best way to help eliminate some of the yellows.

Just out of curiosity, how many people that do the weekly RASCAR race ever race on the Papy Open servers or other non-password protected servers? I race quite a bit during the week and have yet to recognize any user ID's from the RASCAR races. Brian Oster On Thu, 20 Jun 2002 20:17:46 GMT, "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Me personally, never Brian. I run a league, Monday nights, and basically when I get time I practice for that, and the RASCAR races wherever possible.
I just had a 100 lap race at Bristol there with Ginger too. Of course he won. :-) David G Fisher "Colin Harris" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KLqQ8.1310$[email hidden]... > I was in there last night, with Ginger!

Right now, for some strange reason, probably because it's summer and it's still almost daylight out at 0:20 am and fishing is good, I haven't raced for weeks. I try to get the RASCAR races, but since it is on at 22 pm on a saturday, it's way down on the priority list. But when summer is over, should be any day now :) I hope to pick up where I left with a lot of Sierra pickup racing (yes, i'm mad) Olav

The 'ras server' that this thread refers to is owned and operated by me. Great to see that there is some interest in using it. I started it a couple of months ago and posted some info on it, here is a repost of the original announcement with boss password, and common functions (change track, temp, eject and or ban userse etc...). Linkage -> http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&q=ras% 2Frasboss (watch word wrap, may need to cut paste two lines together) ******************REPOST****************** Ok due to popular demand, the access password for my little server is going back on. See the 'yo Jason' thread from Thu09 for more info. The access password is 'ras' The boss password is 'rasboss' Connect with 'ras/rasboss' and review your servers.txt in the N2002 root install directory for commands. To use these commands, you must be connected as boss! To change the track: type !do_not_auto_start_next_race in chat Then click 'back' say no to first prompt, say 'ok' to second prompt. That will dump you to the track selection screen. Don't forget !eject and !ban followed by either '#12' number or the drivers name. Hope this cleans up the action for ya Ed! :) ******************REPOST****************** So load up your password field with "ras/rasboss" or just "rasboss" and get to it! :) It's up 24/7, on a UPS.

Likely most have a 2nd ID for open servers. Papy open servers breed the wrong attitude for online racing. Over-aggressiveness, win at any cost, win on the first lap, if I can't pass ya I'll wreck ya, etc etc. After watching a couple replays of our races I can prolly tell ya who runs a lot of opens. Just watch a couple restarts at our last Dover, yikes.

Ya that would be me. I guess I need to create an ID for RASCAR races that would be more recognizable to the name I post under in RAS (oh, and one that doesn't sound so stupid). Brian Oster On Fri, 21 Jun 2002 12:20:39 -0400, "jon" <[email hidden]> wrote:

True, but since I am not in a league they are about my only option. You can sometimes find a pretty clean, good SW race on the 4-10 servers. Besides the over abundance of idiots the only other thing I hate is trying to find a non SS to run. Why are Dega and Daytona the ONLY tracks that ever get run on the 6-10 servers? Brian Oster

It can screw up your lpi but if you are a little selective and stick to the 4-10 and 6-10 servers you can keep it from going completely in the toilet. I have a 53 lpi which isn't great but is not awful either. Brian Oster
If you run open races, an lpi of 53 is amazing, actually. -Larry "Brian Oster" <bgoster@swbell**nosmap**.com> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
