RASCAR: Attn *ALL* Registered Drivers

If you're on the roster and you haven't raced often (and/or lately), you are hereby on notice that participation is essential in order for you to remain on the roster. We want to race against people that show up on a regular basis so that we can become famniliar with their on- track quirks, and I am eager to clear the dead wood out of the roster and the car file. If you can't make it because of the time/day we race, can't live with the new fascist regime and the associated draconian rules, or have simply lost interest, please let me and/or Eldred know immediately. Nobody is exempt from this request, so if you're going to quit or want to be removed from the roster, do the right thing and let us know so we can update the invite files for the servers. If at a later date, you are reasonably sure you can fit us into your schedule, or realize that a little tyranny is a good thing, you are more than welcome to re-register.

Have to quit, reality has learned that saturday-evenings are nearly always reserved for women. ;-) Wish you much fun and excitement.

Sorry, John. I won't even try to tell you why I haven't been able to make it. Let's just say this, it had nothing to do with you or the way you administer the league. I'm rooting for you usually. Ya'll take care! Rob (revrob) car 54, hehe

In the summer, it's impossible for me to get home in time, so feel free to remove me, although it's mighty nice to be able to drop in from time to time.

What final rules were actually implemented? So many changes I cant keep track. Whats the new mane going to be? RASCAR doesnt actually fit anymore seeing how its moved away from here, its birth place btw. "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

AFAICT nothing much has changed from the old rules (John's omitted some of the more questionable items from his IGPS inspired set) other than there's penalties for goofing up now. > Whats the new mane going to be?

I don't agree, as usual the good races (latest Michigan) don't get discussed here, but as far as the rules and rules conflict goes: that only partains to a subset of RASCAR regulars, which already are a subset of RAS regulars, so I think it's proper that should be discussed in annother place. That's not a matter of Old Boy politics, it's a matter of politeness towards the users of this forum. It's hardly like this is a closed e-mail discussion, it's right there on RaceSimCentral for everyone to see, only categorised in its proper place IMO. Any RASCAR and RAS regular can visit the site, http://rascar.racesimcentral.com, click the forum link and read the discussion so far. Jan. =---

Then tell us/me. There are good reasons not to show up. :) Are you a cross-dresser with a weekly show on saturday evenings? :)

You're pretty much exempt from being auto-deleted. You have a quantifiable skill (hell - you won the race you ran in) and I wish you'd race more often. :)

In article <ksu0b.2935$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says... > What final rules were actually implemented? So many changes I cant keep > track. The only rules you have to worry about are the ones that are actually linked from the RASCAR page (the big red "RULES" graphic on the left side of the browser window). The rules haven't changed, but the admins will be handing out next- race black flags for doing stupid shit and for unsportsman-like behavior(s). > Whats the new mane going to be?

It most certainly does fit here, but it's easier to talk about web site stuff in the racesimcentral forum that is linked from the web site. Everyone is still welcomed to come here for post-race free-for-alls (to a point anyway - see the rules) if they so choose.

Somewhere along the line I lost that bookmark. Can ya re-post the url here or the forums? If its just accountability rules then Im all for that. Gray areas are still questionable to me though. If its not a crystal clear incident how will the admins rule? On the side of caution / "one of them racin deals"? Will the admins rule on what the server see's or what each individuals replay shows? The server replay doesnt see it very clear at times. The ONLY way is to watch both drivers replays and compare what each driver REALLY see's.

Like I said weeks ago... I'm out. I'm working on setting up a RASCAR-BGN series that will run on week-nights - European-time. Feel free to remove me. -- ed_

I guess over the year I can manage 5 or so races. Next year I'll probably be back in real racing as well which means a) in the workshop b) racing c) trying desperately to stop my woman from going nuts over a) and b) /Matt Knutsen #13

I was able to take part last season at a handful of races. But my social life surprised me this season. And I can't use the woman excuse either, sadly... So feel free to remove the 76 car from the rooster as long as you race saturday 10 pm CET. I already see that my weekends are getting fully booked with other things for the rest of the autumn. -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying
