GPL: On-line Virgin.

Well....this evening I tried my hand at the on-line experience for the first time on MY computer. Downloaded WVROC, the "fix file", installed everything, fired up and went on-line to Monza, I think it was. Nobody else was there so I didn't really have a chance to interfere with a race or to get into anybody's way. thank God! The purpose of this post is to (a) warn you that I am dipping my toe in the water of GPL on-line and (b) ask if there is a league for the elderly, infirm and partially insane? Your advice would be most welcome. I run with strict "historic" settings......4"+ ground clearance and 30/85 or 45/85 diff setups. My speeds, therefore, will be lower than the average. I also drive under the pseudonym of either Pete Aaron (Honda), Jean-Paul Sarti (Ferrari) or Scott Stoddart (BRM) and can be found between practise sessions and after each race sitting in the Brabham pits having a beer with the blokes whilst arguing with my team manager. Or I may be seducing Francois Hardy in my hotel room. Preferably both.

let's see... age doesn't really matter, usually short races so infirmity really shouldn't play into it... and we're all pretty much with ya on the last one. So JUMP RIGHT IN.

Snip G'day old man, geez 86 and still an online *** ;) BTW Bruce, I know you will correct my spelling and grammer, but here is a link for an Aussie league, hope they will break you in gently :) http://www.powerup.com.au/~philmak/ASRG.htm [address restored] Rgds Phil.

No...I *spin*.
