No problem.   Just remember I am not the 'leader' of the PRC, just the most
outspoken member.

Now your talking!   I would like to race one day, but the expenses get in the
way ;)  I'll have to wait until I retire -- I work enough to retire at 40 ;)
At least I'll have the house paid for.  That will make way for many
opportunities :-)

No comment.

I do too.  When I only host 6-8 races a week I want to race, not sit around
watching.  I never restart the race due to an accident.  If I'm out on the
start, I don't reset the server.  I just prefer if my opponents wait for me to
crash myself out ;-)

I put the word [not] in there -- I believe thats what you meant to say.

Racing incidents do occur in the PRC (just not as often as open races).  It's
just that members of the PRC have proven themselves to be clean-minded
drivers.  What more can we ask for?  Everyone has their bad days and incidents.
