Hawaii Suggestions - yea or nay

Hey hey hey I know you're sick of hearing from claff93 but we've got some suggestions 1. I'm in a league there, and last night while there was a 8 racer minimum for a race. It was getting kinda late but we had 7 guys of our league ready to rip for a short run at Martinsville. Couldn't get the 8th and had to forego the race. How about League races not have minimum racer numbers so those of us who are in a league don't have to wait hours for an eighth to show up? The guy who set up the league race can decide when to either switch to NASCAR or get in the queue for an open server 2. How about a CTRL-K key combination that would bring up a dialog window where one could type in the name of someone who just pulled a major-league boner? If that person gets so many votes (% of race participants perhaps) he or she is DQ'd from the race. 3. I don't know how servers are allocated and when they go on-line/off-line, but I suspect there are more than the 3 or so that were up late last night. Is there some way to set the servers up so that if there are races waiting to be run a server will come on-line to lighten the load and reduce the wait? 4. How about when races are nominated, there be a limit on what tracks that are available? It's kinda silly to see three races simultaneously forming for the same track (Talley usually, ZZZ). Maybe this will force Hawaii pilots to explore a couple more tracks than the three or four that they seem to stick to. I'm tired of Talladega! I guess this is enough ranting for one night, I'll sit back and see how these fly. Feedback is welcomed and appreciated. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Winston Cup 7 41 23 Busch South 9 34 47 NCTS 7 07 Busch North 47 44 34 Mod Tour 21 8 10A IRCA 93 39 96 Busch North & Modified Tour Home Pages at http://www.vgernet.net/aclaffie/ Real Racers Don't Race Talladega!

Cool idea, but you don't always know who starts the wreck that you come up on... You'd have to check the replay after the race. ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

Reminds me of a Gallagher routine where he suggests giving everyone a suction cup dart gun. When you see someone begin a jerk on the road, nail 'em with a dart. If a cop comes along and sees a car with a dozen darts or so sticking to it, he just pulls 'em over and writes out a ticket. <g> Dave "davids"

Well the CTRL-K key wouldn't be necessary for *every* wreck that happens in a Hawaii race, but if you've got someone who's most definitely out there just to cause wrecks and blocking traffic and going the wrong way and plowing into leaders etc. etc... I'm sure you get the idea. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Winston Cup 7 41 23 Busch South 9 34 47 NCTS 7 07 Busch North 47 44 34 15 Mod Tour 21 8 10A IRCA 93 39 96 Busch North & Modified Tour Home Pages at http://www.vgernet.net/aclaffie/ Real Racers Don't Race Talladega!

I like his line about asking over a loudspeaker "Was that stupid or WHAT?" If you get four people that say yes, you could pull the guy over and each of you take one of hie tires...<g> I didn't know anyone ELSE liked Gallagher...<g> ________ Eldred Pickett I am NOT paranoid.

He does have some funny bits. I was in Vegas once and some friends wanted to go see his show. They were about to slip the maitre 'd a bill to get some front row seats. Luckily, I convinced them that we ought to sit back about 10 rows or so. They did bring out ponchos for the people in the front row. Dave "davids" I guess we're wandering a bit off topic here...
