I understand that you have to be invited to run with the PRC. Could someone please invite me? :) -- ------------------------------------------------------ IMPACT Motorsports http://www.impactmotorsports.com/pd.html ------------------------------------------------------

Hi Pat, You are a very fast driver. That's why I haven't been able to check out your driving/latency. The only time I see you is on the grid then maybe a turn or 2 ;) The principle behind the Pro Racing Club is to get clean drivers (you don't need to be fast). Maybe if you drove a Conventry in potential PRC scouting races and passed us cleanly, we would say "Wow, lets get that guy into the PRC!" :) If John Burrowes reads this he might give you a break. I think your PRC material, but just haven't had much road time with you. Jason.

Heh... at one point I would have enjoyed being invited, but after the contradictions in this post (and JB babbling like a ***ager during an open PRC Monza race on VROC last Wednesday night) I now think I'd pass... Mark Reno On Thu, 31 Dec 1998 10:15:34 -0700, Jason Monds

The following was a spur-of-the-moment shoot-from-the-hip opinion that I should have kept to myself, and in any case could hardly be called a useful contribution to the newsgroup. Apologies to all. Rgds, Mark

Mark, I'm glad you posted the above followup. Though I guess it doesn't mean your opinion has changed. What follows is what I tried to post last night. For some reason Agent gave me Error 401 though so it had to wait till now... I was babbling like a ***ager? I doubt it. Rarely do I chat much during a race. PRC members know this. Could be it was another person with the same inits? If you're sure it was me then, well, sorry. BTW members... I've said this countless times... ANY of you can invite anybody you think would make a good addition to the club. If they're pretty clean racers and the decent sort then have them e-mail you and forward their request to me. That way I know who's recommending them. Do NOT give them my ICQ number. I like to know who it is that's added me to their list. They'll get it in the password text. Thanks, See you IN the races!

Hi Mark, Contradictions? You mean being fast and driving clean? The PRC members are known good 'racers'. We mainly race on pro mode and therefore must be clean to have fun. How do I know if Pat is a clean racer when I haven't raced with him? I know he is fast. He says he puts clean above fast, but the only way I will be able to race him is if our lap times are close (that won't happen until I change to the Lotus). You know how racing an open pro event is like. Some airhead in row 5 thinks he can beat all the other to T1 and the race is over -- that's not fun. Don't think for a second there are *only* slow racers in the PRC. Wolfgang and Ian Lake are members (well they are in the PRC Series). Furthermore, lapped traffic adds to the e***ment of a race as long as they understand the blue flag ;) PRC is a group that makes GPL that much more enjoyable. Thanks to John for starting the group. Jason.
