erm... that's great progress but I can't seem to find you on GPLRank? In fact no one has a rank of 66, they skip from 64.40 to 67.22. I was just looking to compare times. 9Wright7 wrote: > Yes yes, shut up, noone cares.... especially since you're not even a > negative GPL ranker.... well i don't care :-) > > In two days I've gone from 150+ to 66..... yeah hoo.... yeah baby. > > Ok, Carry on with your day.. -- Ken MacKay Halifax, Canada GPL Handicap +82.97

> erm... that's great progress but I can't seem to find you on GPLRank? The GPLAnalyzer program has a menu option to calculate your gplrank for you. http://home.bip.net/martin/gplra/ I've been watching my own (average) times on the ring drop steadily the last few days. Last night I stuck to the 2nd place AI's tail til well into the 2nd lap before getting a little too close, touching him and spinning out. Using GPLA to compare the 1st and 2nd laps I was on about an 8:32 pace for the 2nd lap (4seconds for the flying start, 3seconds later in the track). Racing the AI is getting even more fun as I improve, especially the starting area of the track before flugplatz. I've crashed and restarted races so many times I'm practically an expert on this section of the track. In the past the 3rd place AI pulled ahead right from the start and by flugplatz was 10 carlengths ahead; now I mostly beat him right off the starting line, and even if I get a bad start I know that I can brake late into the first corner and cut him off, or hang on his ass, joust and bump wheels with him on the pit straight and cut him off at the 2nd corner. Fun stuff. Pushing yourself to stay with the AI as long as possible right from the start pays off. Again using GPLA I can see that I lose no time to the papyrus benchmark replay til well past flugplatz. So dammit Eldred get on the stick and start racing the ai, its boring to have joined the faceless masses no longer in the St. Eldred's Cup. rms [email hidden]

Last check it said 66.... I better go recheck.

Drill 2 holes in the mirrors and use some blue-tac to hold them in place.... worked well for me :-)
