Well, I was impressed by the civility on the track today. Except for 2 long straights, the majority of Westhill is medium speed corners, VERY difficult to negotiate. Best of all, no accidents in the pace car lap! Except for RevengeR forgetting how to steer.

I was rather saddened by the amount of disconnects and drop outs, 50% of the starting grid just vanished...oh well. Saddening, but I am optimistic. This league only started two months ago, and I am determined to make it work.

So...low turnout, but overall? A good race. A few nerfs and bumps here and there; May I point out to the GTR drivers that the "little guys" are no match for you, so when passing, make sure to negotiate the pass with caution and most of all NEGOTIATE THE PASS WITH A LITTLE PATIENCE.

Sorry you had to drop out, Bo. Danny, you and Burnsy1882 will be in the FXR's.

Bump.

Quote from Captain Slow :

hi, i have a problem, i lowered the strings closer to the fretboard on my guitar because before they wer really high and annoying to play, but the thing is as soon as the middle two strings (D&G) were lowered, if i play the 11th fret, they rattle of the 12th. now i thought about filling down the 12th fret very very slightly to get rid of the problem, but that might just cause the same problem when play the 12th fret, and i cant afford a new guitar. any ideas. i think the neck might b bent slightly because the guitar is about 11 years old.

sounds like you need truss rod adjustment. What kind of guitar?

Cautious and not aggressive. I like to brake early and my cornering lines are very technical, by the book like in real life; brake, turn in, at the apex initiate throttle. A specialty of mine is to get behind a driver and put pressure on them until they are so engrossed in looking at their rear mirrors they brake late, go wide, and I pass. It is very easy to pick out the ones who cannot handle pressure, you see it in their reactions.

I guess I will be serious...

36 - do something so grand youre nominated for the Nobel© Prize.

not bad. Yes, not bad. Good use of static camera angles. Made it seem more real that way.

Boy, these broadcast just get better and better...my wife also watched the action! She really liked to hear and see a woman involved in, and I quote her, "such a boys game."

Becky, with your recording gear, are you able to fiddle with compression? Radio uses alot of compression to really make a persons voice stand out, to sound stentorian, so to say.

Quote from SamH :

@ Bawbag, I agree.. I've banned arno for life from the UKCT servers

I also banned him for 999 days. In fact, if anyone has a server, whether it is popular or not, just ban him. Lets get the point across, because frankly, I think we should be INtolerant and discriminate for this cheating.

Make sure also, people who run servers, that you are signed up with internet barricade through UKCT. It is very effective.

Quote from Scoop :

My mom has had another change of heart and she decided to leave me home, so i will be available for the race, is there still room? or have i lost my spot?

Quote from Leifde :

I spent 3 hours getting my kart ready for tomorrow and then just as I'm about to put the last bits (the hubs) on I realise the keys (bits which stick in the axle to help stop the hubs and stuff moving) have 3 little bits sticking out but the axle only has 2 holes.

Looks like I'm back in for the race then

You two crack me up! :lol: Yes, you are both back in.

Quote from xenoa :

GT2 slot open (XFR) ?
I would like to try, if its ok

xenoa [XFR]Xenoa

You got it. Info is being sent shortly.

Wow, awesome skins! Burnsy, I like the little nod to Final Gear...I try to put that on all my cars, too.

Quote :

The motive for the latest killing remains unclear, police said.

They are clowns. Do have to spell it out? Clowns are terrifying. I mean, murder is a bit much...

Sometimes the chaos of the STCC servers is that you dont intentionally try to hit someone, but it happens. Everyone is vying for points. Best to do in that situation is ignore and keep on racing.

Quote from Gunn :

Yeah it must take incredible skill and unshakeable commeraderie to destroy a creature that is minding its own business in its natural environment.

1)It is family tradition. I really dont hope that you think that I went out into a field shot a whatever, then left it for dead. Oh, no no no! Depending on what it is (or...was) we took it to get processed for meat, or the women of the family would cook it up that night for consumption. Ever had fresh Pheasant or Turkey?

2)In some parts of the United States, deer hunting controls the population. Not enough food for the winter combined with overpopulation means dying a horrible, diseased death. Also, more deer get hit by cars every year than from hunting. Why no natural predators, you say? Well, urban sprawl decreased the habitat of wolves, foxes, coyotes, etc. If that bothers you, tear down your house, ask your neighbors to do the same, and go live in a hut. There, now the natural predators can flourish again because you gave them back their habitat. The point I am trying to convey is, something has to be at the top of the food chain to control the population of lesser creatures, otherwise the population gets out of control and far worse deaths occur.

3)Here is the rather embarrassing point of hunting: sometimes you would hunt because it is far cheaper, because you didnt grow up so wealthy, in American standards. Partially the reason why people fish...

Yet I do not see any protests or condemnations in regard to that. Is it because fish are not appealing to the eyes? Not pretty or majestic? Hey, people put bait out to hook a fish, catch by yanking it out of its natural habitat, then let it drown in air, or put it into a tank so small it can just barely survive.

Face it. Humans are omnivores, we kill other animals to survive, even if you do not witness its death. If you did, would you continue to eat animals?

Does it take "incredible skill and unshakeable commeraderie" to go to your local market and pick up a pound of ground up cow?"

Please refer to this thread: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=18705 Please post in that thread link if you are interested, a word of warning though; I will discriminate and only accept drivers who put some seat time in their chosen car and track, this being Westhill. I will send prospective drivers a PM to let them know if they are in or not.

It is a great concept in LFS league racing, and I would like to see YOU there!

Quote from RevengeR :

jayhawk, get some replacement ppl in

Youre telling me! It is a bit depressing, I would like to advertise this and all the other races in the general league forum, but I may break a rule or so.

Screw it. The worst that can happen is I yelled at for cross posting.

Quote from farcar :

Edit!

Good use of filters...makes it look period correct.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

I don't really get hunting in any of its forms. Yes, chasing down a fox with a gang of horses and dogs is pretty lame, but no lamer than shooting a deer from half a mile away. Given the choice I'd much rather play with 50 beagles than play with a gun, but I'd find them something a bit more humane to do.

It is the challenge and togetherness of it. When I used to hunt, it was with my uncle and cousins or friends, and half the reason was to be with family or friends on a quest. A few of my hunting experiences:

Deer hunting: was not the most challenging, especially with a 30-6 rifle, but when you do get a fair sized doe or buck it means you get to eat off of it for several months...and venison is excellent in any form.

Quail hunting: move slowly through the edge of a woods until the quail explodes and goes flying off. The take off like a Harrier jet in fast forward, then fly very, very fast away from you. When they do leave the ground, it is so sudden and violent it scares you silly, which is why this elusive wild chicken is such a bugger to hunt. Some lower mannered jerks "hunt" quail by shooting them at full choke with a shotgun while the quail are "graveling" at dusk. I have also heard of a type of quail in Northeatern America so stupid it will damn near paint a target on itself.

Turkey hunting: Turkeys have incredible eyesight and smell, so you have to cammo yourself to look like your enviroment, including your gun. And then you sit. And sit. Annnnd sit until a harem comes wandering near your direction after you use a turkey caller. Maybe. Turkeys have what I and many others call "harems", usually 2-3 males and plenty of females. Jennies are good for about 15-20 pounds, Toms can get near 23 or more pounds. The taste of a wild turkey is dependent on how long they have resided near a corn field. Same with deer.

Woodcock hunting: these are tough little birds to hunt, since they are pretty wiley and hide in thick saplings of dogwood. Also seem to favor areas near junkyards. Anyway, you use a Brittany retriever to fetch the Woodcock or you also use them for quail. The woodcock bird is really quite tasty to eat, but you have to get a big male to make a really full meal out of them.

I stopped hunting many years ago, when I was field dressing a older doe and my knife went the wrong way and urine went everywhere. I was so disgusted that from then on I couldnt hunt anymore. I still practice shooting with my 30-6, and, not bragging, I have a God given talent that runs in my family of being extremely accurate with a rifle. My Grandfather could light a match in a stump from 50 yards, and picked off rats that attacked my father when he was a child without hitting him.


Whew! Long post!

Quote from LFSn00b :

That is what I like to see! Bright and vibrant.

Quote from mrodgers :

That is the thing with Nascar. You can all flame them for just turning left and the "how hard is that?" mentality, but they are running on the edge at all times. If they hit a pebble on the track wrong it can upset the car. The speeds are why you typically don't see anyone catching and recovering from a slide like you do in road racing.

Quite right. As much as I loath NASCAR, it is by far not the easiest of motorsports. Takes some real endurance and concentration from the drivers to do that lap after lap.

Last time they resembled something stock was around 1987-1988. Then GM came out with the W bodies and changed everything.

Quote from animal1313 :

If a noob with only 98 finishes can have an opinion: I'd like to see "prototype" cars (LM class from LeMans and ALMS).

(I'd also like to see a server which understood and could score a race where different classes of cars were racing at the same time.)

Well, kind of.
