Age is definately an issue, I get beaten by 14 year olds in my League (I am 25)... :) Also it all depends on how much time you have/are willing to spend on GPL, of course. I believe that a lot of people on GPLRank, given a three-day exclusive GPL vacation, would improve their handicaps by at least 20%. Using the Replay Analyser and GPLSpyGirl, combined with racing in a league, are in my opinion the keys to a quick improvement of ones GPLRank... -- Imar de Vries - [email hidden] - ICQ 6972439

Well, we all have our own pace, Eldred :) You have improved your handicap by almost 20 seconds since the beginning of November I believe (I remember because I was 1st on the Eldred's Cup for a while then :) ), and judging from the things you said back then here on r.a.s., I think you would have laughed me in the face if I had told you you would improve at this rate... Keep up the GPL spirit, and try to find the rare moments where The Force helps you get that .5 seconds extra improvement :) -- Imar de Vries - [email hidden] - ICQ 6972439
