John Simmons's short racing story draws praise and a troll

John Simmons posted a short piece of racing fiction, which most readers praised. redTed insulted it, leading to an exchange in which Simmons killfiled him and redTed cited an old WSC dispute. The thread then drifted into banter about age and romance.

60 seconds. He'd seen it before. Heat caused the now familiar columns of turbulance that rose, unrestrained, going who knows where. A voice from somewhere inside him reminded him that this was a common optical illusion. Another voice tried to chime in with the scientific principals behind the illusion, but he was too busy to listen. His target shimmered in the distance. the heat wiggles were there too, he surmised. The heat. Concentrate. It's funny. Random thoughts sometimes streak through your mind when you're in the middle of something important. He often thinks of his wife and kids, maybe bass fishing, or some other thing far-removed from the task at hand. Today was different. H ecouldn't allow the distractions. Wasn't it hot a minute ago? Maybe he was just imagining it. Concentrate. 45 seconds. There was an almost imperceptible change in his immediate surroundings. The howl of machinery began to diminish, and out of habit, he checked his instruments for possible signs of trouble. Nothing. Normal. Good thing, too - the enemy was right on his butt, and he couldn't afford to make a mistake. He would be overrun in seconds wth no defense, no way to stop them. No sound. No heat. Concentrate. His target was riding on a cushion of heat wiggles, and he was gaining - slowly. That's when he noticed it. The hair on his neck rose, standing at attention for the invisible general that he often confided in. His mind snapped - yeah, that's a good decsription - snapped into a mode of crystal awareness. It allowed his ears to detect the faint pressure changes in the air around him. No heat. No sound. No distractions. 30 seconds. That's when he saw the tunnel. It was forming directly in front of him. Inside the tunnel, everything, including his target, was cleanly focused, and the heat wiggles were prevented from invading it's confines. He'd seen it before. Stay in the tunnel. No distractions. He was gaining quickly now, and he knew that his target knew there was no way out. There was nothing that could prevent him from overtaking. He was almost on the target when the tunnel shifted. If he didn't stay in the tunnel, he'd ram his target. Not the desired result, so he shifted with the tunnel. Stay in the tunnel. No distractions. 10 seconds. He had passed the target, and the tunnel began to dissipate, allowing sound to enter his realm once more. It built to a crescendo of angry machinery straining to the limits of it's design. He heard people too. Were they - cheering? Of course they were. Dale streaked across the finish line only fractions of a second in front of his son, and he wondered if Little 'E' saw what he saw today.

I just don't have the energy right now (or maybe I don't really give a shit what he thinks). Either way he's not worth my time. Besides, it's damn difficult to debate with someone who starts off the exchange by calling people names. You've already experienced the best the guy's got, so there really is no point in exploring his side of the argument any further. -- ========================================================= DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 and 2002 Season (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 RASCAR Roster http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john Barbarian Diecast Collector (460+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

No.Not the Fluffmeister !!!! Anyway, as he has killfiled me, I don't expect I'll get any more direct responses from the hypocrite.. Maybe if he thinks back a year or so, he'll remember calling me names for having the absolute gall to disrespect WSC. He wasn't alone, either.. He'll get his apology, just as soon as I get mine.
