John Simmons opens JUNTACAR practice server

John Simmons announced that former RASCAR drivers could use his server, ironically named JUNTACAR after a joke about the leadership coup. He said it was not a league, just a server with simple rules: drive sensibly and do not annoy him. Banter followed, including a joking outburst from Eldred.

If you were on the RASCAR roster as of Bristol, you can use the JUNTACAR server to practice online.

Well, I can't take all the credit for that - I think Tony came up with that name. Since some folks (with a lot less sense of humor than I have) thought I was enjoying the nickname "Adolf" just a little too much, I had already adopted the nickname "El Supremo", so it seemed a fitting name for the server. :)

However, John liked the name and with a classic twist of irony adopted it for his own new rival series and christened himself El-Supremo to boot...

It's not so much a rival series as it is a server where a group of peple I know can race without being molested by the people with more interest in first-person-shooters than in racing.

Well, it's not a league. It's just a server that happens to use a version of the RASCAR invite file that's a few weeks out of date. The rules are pretty simple - drive like you have at least half a brain, and don't piss me off.
"John Simmons" > The rules are pretty simple - drive like you have at least half a > brain, and don't piss me off. I find not pissing John off is good incentive to drive like you have half a brain:-) At the Watkins Glen race I set my fastest lap of the race when he was behind me. Having John speeding up behind you is good motivation to drive faster as well... I didn't want to be responsible for another dnf for John. Steve

Hmmmm, you make me sound kinda wreckless. When I was racing in GPL, my strength was just hanging out right on someone's bumper until they made a mistake. One guy said I simply worried him into letting me by. When I was racing in RASCAR, I was never shy about going side-by-side with someone (except with Jan during his bink-in/out phases). I like that kind of reputation.
