Hi, i'm Keith Speroni, a friend of Tom Wardell's, he and i first came into this 'racing scene' about 2 years ago..i think, we both had web pages, he still has his, mine got lost on geocities (bleh). Anyhow, i wanted to say 2 things: 1. what has this place turned into, none of the people who used to come here, come here, jan used to, tony, alex...everyone used to..i dont see any familiar faces here. 2. i read what was posted on The Pits and i am behind it 100%, things obviously have changed. Thanks, Keith Speroni

Hi Keith, I don't know what this ng was like 2 years ago, I've only been reading about a year. And although I don't post a great deal, I do check here every day for news, reviews and the occasional rant. I've learned a great deal and shared ideas with people from all over the world. What could be better? Don

[NOAM] wrote Glad to see you back. You have a familiar name that is wayyyy back in my memory. People get in and out each day. Everything on the net goes very fast. R.a.s. is not only now. There is a NROS private newsgroup, and a whole server dedicated to F1RS/Gp2/GPL now. 2years ago Message Boards didn't really existed, so r.a.s. was one of the only place to discuss.There is still many people here who are not newbies. I can recall easily 10 people who are here since at least 1 year. People went away (Gerhard isn't here anymore, Eric T. Busch got a position at Papyrus Design group, etc..) I'm trying to put an official r.a.s. webpage (well, un-official somehow) to have fresh air here, but it's really difficult. It's the world pal !! It keeps turning and turning and turning !! Glad to see you back still. Hopefully my name is familiar (probably on the bad side) to you. Like I said, thing AND people change ;-) - Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) - Official Mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. - Member of the r.a.s. Ego-maniac club - Excuse me for my English (I'm French speaking) - Excuse me for being provocative (I'm dumb speaking) - "People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."--

I'm still here too! I've been around since there was only one newsgroup for all racing-related talk of any sort -- rec.autos.sport Started reading it in, umm, uh, er, 1989? Was part of the campaign for separating it into type-specific subgroups, arguing for and against certain ideas. Was part of the campaign for creating rec.autos.simulators, and one of the key voices in giving the group this name (as opposed to the original idea of rec.autos.sport.simulators, in order to leave it available for non-racing automotive simulations). I'm just too busy working and trying to get as much time as possible PLAYING these sims (now that I have a machine fast enough to do so decently) to do much reading or posting anymore... -- http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/toons.html - Animaniacs, P&TB, F!, etc. files http://www2.cruzio.com/~keeper/CSATSM.html - Capt Simian & The Space Monkeys http://www.armory.com/~keeper/midi.html - My own MIDI files - Updated 5 Mar
