Hey ZZ - What Does it Mean?

Meaning of ZZ Busch's notice on RASCAR forum

John Simmons asked ZZ Busch what a notice he had posted on the RASCAR forum meant, and Ed Solheim and others accused him of trying to restart the feud. Tony Rickard explained it was a tongue-in-cheek reminder of RASCAR's original spirit. The thread turned into jokes about 'WASCAR', 42, and Mark Seery's GPL 'Wabbit Wuns' race format, which Jan Verschueren described.

I don't understand the intent behind the notice you posted in the RASCAR forum. Just curious...

1) Well, since I'm not a member of RASCAR any longer, it would be fairly inappropriate of me to ask him on the RASCAR forum. So, I asked here, ebcause I know he reads r.a.s., and lastly, because I don't have his email address. 2) ", too."

Would you take one "readers-discussion" from one news-paper to the other? Or one TV-debate from one station to the other? You know damn well, just like the rest of us, that it would be perfectly okey for you to address this on the forum. Can't we just leave this be now - and move on... **All of us.** -- ed_ (*really *tired of this shit now)

It is quite OBVIOUSLY a statement on the way in which this place has been reduced to a pathetic childish mess due entirely to postings and angered ego's founded on RASCAR issues. Of course - you KNEW that - but you just wanted to try and kick off another flame war. Doug

No, I honestly don't know if he's serious or not. I didn't want to assume either way. Like I said - just curious.

The intent was as a tongue in cheek reminder of the original rationale of RASCAR as it developed in the early part of last year and how recent events had bought the name determined in the inaugral thread into disrepute. Having experienced the kids bitching on the open Sierra servers seeing Rascar going the same way is hard to stomach. ZZ & I have joked in the past how we were "responsible" for the name. If you guys aren't going to make proper use of it then we'll have it back thank you :) It is just a dig to say come on RAS lets all get Rascar back on track. With the Trans Am mod we could have some excellent road races to augment the Nascar oval events. It is not aimed at any individuals. At the time ZZ & I first discussed it Rascar was in complete disarray. It is not a stab at those trying to get it going again. Cheers Tony --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Nope. "42" is obviously the answer to another question. Like "what is the Earl Grey tea blend number at Harrods ?". IMOH, it is extreeeemly improbable that "42" would also be the intent behind the aforementioned notice. Mr. Sylvestre.

No holds barred, but without getting into a real demolition derby. *Not* for the faint hearted, but then again, it's not my sort of game either. <g> Jan. =---
