I assume practice starts at 9:00 and the race at 9:40? -Tony- "EldredP" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

This brings up an interesting point. I had the very same problem with people (mostly the euro guys) when I posted a race start time for IGPS. I never did understand what was so hard to comprehend about posted race times. The server opens at 9am eastern with a 40-minute practice. If you want to race, show up at 9am eastern on VROC. Everyone should show up as close to 9am as possible in order to a) guarantee a spot on the grid, and b) turn at least one out lap and one practice lap for time. I'm honestly not trying to be abrupt or rude, but sheesh...

Well, I've seen leagues where the time mentioned was when the race STARTED. I had to bypass a monday night Nascar league because of that. They said the race started at 9:30. I thought they meant for practice, and with a 30 minute practice session I could get home in time. Nope - the GREEN dropped at 9:30... So different people mean different things...

No, that's just me tolerating humanity as a whole... :) I finally got around to placing an order for a dose of tolerance and it got here late on Monday. It didn't look promising (it was in a tiny brown bottle with no markings), but I promised the wife I'd at least give it a shot. I was kinda hoping it would have kicked in by yesterday, but I guess not. :)
