People asked some questions about "EXTRAORDINARY PERFORMANCE" on Hawaii and I provided my insite as to how and why it has happenend. Most of you have raced with the me and know first hand that we dont approve of any kind of cheating. The thing that we have always promoted is a fair and level playing field. Enough Said, Don Wilshe, IVGA Mr. Carrillon asked me a good question about HAWAII and was whinning as to how come the IVGA drivers we so fast. I dont know what he was implying, but its really simple paul. We have a program called FASTLAP that teaches one how to qualify on the POLE. We had the FASTLAP contest!!! Let me make it really really simple paul.. If you start on the POLE you can usually win.. How do you think I got 235 wins on HAWAII.. Surely not from driving through the PACK!!!! If you would have learned how to setup a car for FASTLAP you would have won more races as well..... As Far As Robert Platt, GT86, and TCEckels they have always flamed me and the IVGA drivers. Well we have a membership of over 3000 members now and yes with that many people we will have problems. But I am very proud and happy with the performance of the IVGA MEMBERS!!!

But I am very proud >and happy with the performance of the IVGA MEMBERS!!! I resent that comment! I am an IVGA member. Yes, when I was a brand new rookie (just a rookie now) I came across the IVGA page when I was looking for a league and joined the IVGA. I have since learned a great deal about the IVGA from people I trust. I would have quit but the last time I looked there were no provisions for terminating my membership at your web site. Tell ya what. You want to know what your membership really is? Send a note to every member telling them they have to go back to your web site and renew. Cancel the ones that don't and We'll see if you crack a hundred loyal and maybe another hundred that don't care and just want a place to run. ;-) When and if I run in the NROS I'll probably stick with some sort of IROC type group as the holes should be easier to plug there. All of the worst scumbags will more than likely be in the open setup arena so they really don't bother me that much. My participation in these threads was caused mainly by one of your cronys STEALING a win from my good, honest, hard working (racing wise for sure) friend, Tom Eckels. If he says he was cheated then I believe it. The replay should convince anyone else who doesn't know Tom. Member - Hawaii Ace League http://www.dithots.org/hal

Translation: "We have a program called FASTLAP that pilfered users' setups and then held a FASTLAP contest encouraging people to send us their FASTLAP results, which included the pilfered setups!" FWIW I don't really give a ***about Mr.Wilshe, IVGA, NROS or FASTLAP contests. I don't participate in any of the above but earlier threads regarding what the FASTLAP program did shined the light on many facts the FASTLAP users weren't aware of and the ensuing flame-fest was quite entertaining. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alan J.

After seeing Don doing some things on Hawaii that I thought was un-fair, I looked for a way to "terminate". Apparently I'd have to mail bomb Don until he finally removed me? :> Kev

Does this last statment mean that you figure there is no harm if a person steals another persons setup without them knowing it. The fact that there will always be faster drivers out there has nothing to do with stealing. What else do you think is moral. -=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-=3D-= =3D -- = MZ=90

I wrote Don a brief message stating my desire to quit the IVGA, and asking him if he would remove me from the roster. He said that he would the next time he added new people. That was two months ago. It makes me wonder how many members there really are. Perhaps mailbombing is a bit extreme, but perhaps Julia Data could suggest how to quit and have one's name removed from the membership roster. After all, he was quick to jump on the mailbombing suggestion (which I don't believe was serious to begin with), so perhaps he know's something we don't. What about it Julian?
