I have an idea for you guys. I really stink at GPL, I don't even have it installed at the moment because life is frustrating enough without voluntarily heaping on more of it. I'll install GPL and drive all of the tracks, including the 'Ring. Then I'll put my lap times up on a webserver someplace and uninstall the sim. That way you can all have a really easy target to shoot for that won't keep improving. And my buddy Eldred (can we call you Tiger?) can go on in peace. It's the least I can do. ~daxe Ken MacKay <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Not left-foot braking yet. I'll probably work on that in a couple of weeks. No confidence, and all that. Slowpoke race? I hadn't thought of that. Since the first one was a mini-disaster, I hadn't decided when(or if) to do it again. I'll have to think about it.

I'm sure lots of people would be interested in your times daxe. After you try all the tracks why don't you submit your player.ini file to GPLRank: http://newgplrank.schuerkamp.de/ That way we can all have a look at your times. And believe it or not Eldred and I are not at the bottom of the list (at least in an F1 car), we're just a little slower than average. I hope my posts don't come across as giving Eldred a hard time. It's meant to be a little friendly competition and maybe some motivation for both of us. I'll be happy if I never catch Eldred as long as we both keep improving (picture it Eldred..... you are at -20.2 and I'm trying to find a few tenths at the Ring to make up a 0.08 difference <g>). I'd also bet that I'm not the only one with Eldred on my Buddy list. But if these types of posts are bothering you Eldred, just let me know. -- Ken MacKay Halifax, Canada GPL Handicap +111.61 daxe wrote: > I have an idea for you guys. > > I really stink at GPL, I don't even have it installed at the moment because > life is frustrating enough without voluntarily heaping on more of it. > > I'll install GPL and drive all of the tracks, including the 'Ring.

Same here, managed a bunch of 9:3X.XX's and then this one 9:16 pops out of nowhere (must've had something to do with staying on the track most of the lap <G>). Good luck with the left foot. I don't think I could get around the Ring (or most of other the tracks) without it. Ken MacKay Halifax, Canada GPL Handicap +111.61

I would think that being above the 100s on the GPL Handicap list would disclude you from being in any Slowpoke Race. Now if you were down near the bottom, like your F2 times (or my handicap!) :-) SLG [email hidden] (EldredP) wrote:
