I live in Petaluma, California (USA)....
It is in the North Bay Area, of San Francisco.....about 50 miles north of
the Golden Gate bridge, on the coastal peninsula. This is also the area
where Sears Point Raceway is located...it is about 20 minutes, nearly due
east of my house. Petaluma also has a small-town style dirt track....that
occasionally gets some of the World Of Outlaw teams and drivers, along with
the local "dirt track racers" who run there every Saturday night, almost
year round. And, the World of Outlaw, Calistoga Race (one of the more
popular stops on the WoO tour) is about 40 minutes away. Racing, of all
types, is very popular in this area, particularly road racing because of the
famous Sears Point Raceway, and Laguna Seca which is in Monterey,
California...about a two hour drive south of San Francisco (a three-hour
drive for me).
However, I moved to this location only about 3 years ago. Prior to that, I
lived in Portland, Oregon, for 21 years. I mention this, since many of my
online sim racings friends...whom I've known since the early TEN
days....still think I live in Portland.
I have been sim racing since about 1996. Gosh, I just realized that was the
same time I got divorced. Wonder if there was any correlation between the
two? .....lol.....
Thanks for starting this "string," Oz....its great to see where everyone is
from!

from Quebec....he's from.... Little Rock, Arkansas and he's a total

I grew up about a mile and a half from what was--when it was built, and for
about the next ten years--the best damn dirt track in the State of Tennessee
. . . Smoky Mountain Raceway. It was better known than Bristol for quite a
while and held two sanctioned NASCAR races for several years. Used to hunt
arrowheads when I was a kid (and found a few) in the cornfield that later
became the track.

I saw a couple of the fast guys racing at the Dutch LAN party -
Andreas Wilke, Jarno Bierman, Gabor Weber, some of the fastest GPL
drivers in the world. And unfortunately, I couldn't learn anything by
just watching them.. It's like watching someone paint or playing
guitar, you can watch all you want, it won't help you much :(

Hmmm, not so sure about that geezer, depends where exactly in Bromley
people live. Bromley goes quite a bit into Kent. Its the largest London
Borough and goes down to Farnborough & Biggin Hill, and Orpington &
Chelsfield get pretty close to Brands, say about four miles away (as the
crow flies).
Come on matey, how far *exactly* are you from Brands? eh? well? Go on,

No person's opinions can be said to be
more correct than another's, because each is
the sole judge of his or her own experience.
I would like to observe the "ergonomics" of the fast guys - especially when
running full GP:s.
BTW, I just checked; Greger Huttu is not in the Vaasa telephone catalog.

Seconded. The only LAN event I've been to was back in the heady days of
Quake 1. Watching some of the best players at work was amazing... they
seemed to do everything the way I did it! Except they did it at *slightly*

The reason everything in America is called 'New' is because we tend to
shorten the
official names. For example....what most of the world knows as "New
England" is
really "New and Improved England." Same goes for "New & IMproved York," and
"New & Improved Jack City."
Since you asked :)

Hehe...that guy is not how I picture Peter Pan. I thought Robin
Williams was good as on old Peter Pan though.
I'm sorry Thom j I take it all back. I've actually never been there, I'm
sure it's lovely...
At this point the political thing to do would be to say "Go Devils" but I
just can't - even though I don't like the Maple Leafs, they are the only
Canadian team left in the NHL playoffs so I *have* to cheer for them despite
myself. But when New Jersey takes them out in 4 games then I'll cheer for
your Devils, will that make up for it??

When I die, bury me low,
Where I can hear, da petroleum flow.
A sweeter sound, I never did know.
Da rollin' mills of New Joisey.
Down in Trenton, dere is a bar,
Where da bums come, from near and far.
Dey come by truck, dey come by car.
Da lousy bums of New Joisey.
In Hoboken, der will be,
Trash as far, as the eye can see.
Enough fer you, enough fer me
Da garbage cans of New Joisey
When at first, I started to roam,
I wandered far, away from . . . Bayonne,
Den I sat down, and wrote dis pome,
I wrote and ode to New Joisey.
(repeast first verse)
John Roberts and Tony Barrand (c) 1983

The ex wife and I used to do the vacation thing in Avalon and I had a
girlfriend from Maplewood. I know Jersey isn't all petroleum cracking
plants, and much if resembles nothing so much as a brackish bog.
