GPL SpyBoy......Wow

Amazing job. Whoever made it, amazing job. I came from TEN, where I was on for over a year. I cancelled my account last month, and for the first time I tried out GSB tonight. I'm not kidding when I say that tonight's experience was better then any experience I had in over a year on TEN. First, the people on there are the friendliest mo-fo's you could ask to race against. Very, very nice folks. No whiney 15-year-olds, like on TEN. No idiots spamming the chat rooms. Just friendly friggin people. Secondly, the interface on GSB is very easy to use. Kudos to the programmers. Third, little-to-NO lag during the race. There was 10 of us I believe......I have cable, so I pinged like 60-70 to the server. And there was very little lag. To be honest, it was equal to IF NOT BETTER then TEN. I am not joking. I cannot believe I didn't try this out sooner, because I would have been off of TEN in a flash.

I'm glad there are more and more TEN users beginning to figure out that they are being taken by TEN. ;-) I was going to send a private email to you but there is no address to send it to. We on GSB are not "Mo-Fo's", nor are we "friggin people". Just my opinion, but, We on GSB are "the friendliest" because we don't use this language. Welcome to the "TEN used to be's" club. <g> Mike Barlow

Thank you, Michael! Jack Rambo

Dont listen to this Barlow guy. He just quit TEN because he couldnt compete at any track other than Watkins Glen ;) ROFL Scott PA-Scott G.T.S. Racing - http://www.GTS-Racing.com -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Hey, I quit because no one would race Watkins Glen! ;)

ROFL You mean you dont like 5% Dega races with 23 14 year olds who have 0 and 1 skill at all other tracks, a 15 at Dega, and overall LPI of 6.5?? ;) Scott PA-Scott -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Oh, I thought that was everyone on NROS....:)

Just 99.999995% of the pickup racers =) Scott PA-Scott -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Well, compete on Ovals is not just boring, but requires none or close to none skill, some practice and a good setup...compete at Glen on NROS, and wil races tells me that the guy has some skill, right ? :-) Tilus

Careful now! <g> Hey Scot, You are actually half right I wasn't competitive "at all" even at the Glen. ;-) NASCAR is fun but just not my cup of tea. GPL is the same way. However, GPL "F3" does come close. I'm waiting on the SCCA SS b or c. I'd be most happy with the H-Production but I don't think that will ever see the light of day. Now that I'm very competitive in F3, I wonder what the chances of.. http://www.gtsM-racing.com are? <g> a gtsM wanna be, Mike Barlow

> Well, compete on Ovals is not just boring, In the eye of the racer, I find it to be a blast running fender to fender and door to door for several laps at a time. Completely false Oval racing takes an entirely different type of skill. My personal experience is in SCCA and although I have never driven competitively on ovals, I have driven on them and its not easy. The concentration, skill, feedback, and setup knowledge is extremely different than road course racing. Scott PA-Scott G.T.S. Racing - http://www.GTS-Racing.com -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

> Careful now! <g> LOL Well the Glen was my home track in SCCA and your lap times still blow mine away <VBG> I have trouble braking the 120 barrier at the Glen in NROS =) Of course, Ill just blame it on NASCAR not running the Boot ;) Ive run a couple of F3 races, The cars just seem too "castrated" for me <VBG> Maybe F2 would be better. Although I like the idea of F1, F2, and F3 for GPL tremendously... The F3 seems just a bit too slow for me. Maybe I just need to run some more races with it. I want a Spec Racer and/or Sport 2000 racer simulation <VBG> Hell, lets just throw in some Forumula Fords, F440 (or whatever they are called now), some V's and lets go racing <G> How about a CAN-Am Reunion sim. Now that would ROCK!!! G.T.S. Racing is still primarily a NASCAR Racing team (except for me). My teammates will be (hopefully) upgrading their PCs this summer/fall so they can start running GPL with me more often online. Tim Lansberry (Knight82) is definitely the best N2 racer of the team. Im really the only GPL racer, at least for now. Maybe an associate membership level needs to be created for GTS Racing so that we can give access to the GTS Garage to them as well ;) Besides, I just paid for the registration for GTS-Racing.com ROFL You would be better off with 99.99999999995% of the GPL racers out there than myself. <G> Plus, I race the Gurney Eagle exclusively. Its tough enough to learn to drive and develop setups for it, let alone all the other cars. Although i love the sound of the Ferrari =) See you online. Scott PA-Scott G.T.S.

For the record: I am a converted TEN to GPL-GSB mofo too. We have a few folks out there (seems to be more lately) that have a little of the TEN attitude. But, over all, the mofo's are a great group of people. Its getting better all the time. -g On Fri, 07 May 1999 10:09:50 -0400, Michael Barlow

Maybe, Motorsport Simulations is doing an online SCCA racing simulation. Btw, Motorsport Simulations is part of the former crew which did Warbirds...so they have somewhat of a good track record at online ***.

<snore> 1:20s? Man, that is like as slow as a SNAIL!!! :) Only if you like running with reduced physics. :) If the F2/F3 cars actually had the same physics as the F1 cars do (according to Eric Busch of Papyrus...) then I'd give them a try, but since they dont its just not worth the time. than myself. <G> Yeah, Scott might run you off the road. :) Ferrari rules....as soon as I fix my wheel I'm off to test, test, test, test for the F3 IGPLC as I plan to run the Ferrari....

Which includes 99.9999995% of all NROS users. :)

The physics are the same, it's just the horsepower and grip that are reduced. Try it and see for yourself. Trips D. Bell on VROC

Wrong. Its probably your experience because nobody wanted you in their league =P Scott PA-Scott G.T.S. Racing - http://www.GTS-Racing.com -- Scott B. Husted ICQ# 4395450

Trips, Thats precisely what I thought myself. However, I was corrected very quickly by Eric Busch of Papyrus....:) I tend to believe that he's in the know and so it is as he says. :)

Hehehe......I was in one league, an invitational league along with your teammate Knight82. ;)

Ouch!

I'll have to hear that from Eric or Randy before I believe it. I'm not calling you untruthful, I just believe that there's some confusion on this issue, maybe a miscommunication. Trips D. Bell on VROC

Bill have you seen Tilus race & have you seen his times? Hmmm? I think it would be nice to do some homework before-hand {imho}[of course unless your just funnin'?] Cheers Thom_j. aka ^Fretts...

Maybe I'm missing something? The only physics change I seem to notice is the reduced power. so, What Physics change is there in the F1's that's not in the F3's? -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing?

Wrongo, my friend... Oval racing requires a different aspect of racing than road course, but still requires skill. You need total understanding of setup tweaking, full concentration to juggle with all what's happening around you. That includes your pit strategy, the other's strategy, tyre wear, fuel conservation, etc.. I can do 126mph laps on the NROS at the Glen, and Im one of the fastest on the NROS including ovals tracks. I think I know, Bill knows and Scott knows also what we are talking about. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you... "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."

well, I could never do much but spin out in Nascar 2, and I may have been the first person to finish a season w\ no complete races in the NASS series :) however I can do much better with the touring cars at the glen... so I'd say that it requires differant skills too.

I'm sorry to have to disagree with you Chris, but Trips is dead right. The only difference in the F2/F3 cars over the F1 cars, is the power level... That came straight from the horses mouth, so to speak.. We have a couple of members of Papy's team in our league and that was the response they gave when they were asked about the specific differences in the F3/F2 and F1 cars.. So sorry to have to put a spanner in the works Chris, but the only difference between the classes is the power, nothing more, and nothing less.. :) Cheers, see you in F3 somewhere... Ron
