Why do people go into a GPL race through VROC, set the pole time and then quit? Is it to show how pitiful us ordinary mortals are? They certainly don't get the track records on my box - they're all taken by the Star Trek vessel times - 6.66 at Monza and 34.15 at Spa (warp factor 9, Scotty). Come on guys, if you sign up for a race, see it through. Some of us are still using old fashioned modems and can only support 4 racers. By taking up that practice place, you often restrict the race to 2 or 3 drivers. Thanks, Paul

How about they run an opening lap of 8:40 at the 'Ring, pull over at the S/F line, wait 25 seconds for the next car to come by (me), then disconnect. Kind of hard to blame that on an unintentional disconnect. I thank him for the win, though. :) "But in a way, fear is a big part of racing, because if there was nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark
