BOBBY QUEEN typed to DAVE DRUM about Conference Rules

BQ>DD> If the Race Net yahoos are involved here - I'm gone. I abandoned
BQ>DD> the other racing echoes where their drivel is gated in (all I
BQ>DD> ever saw were "ain't we great" press releases from race teams)
BQ>DD> because it is all noise and no discernible signal. Remember -
BQ>DD> quantity does _not_ denote quality.

BQ>RIME I think is gated with RaceNet and my echo is gated with RIME but
BQ>RaceNet as a network no longer really exists.  The reason I gated it
BQ>with RIME was to get more participants but its been gated for well
BQ>over a year now.

My point was that the RaceNet rules have no place in FIDO. This is 
_your_ echo. Not RaceNet's. RIME is so nearly dead as to be on last gasp 
life support. We seem to have dwindled by one participant this year. 
Haven't seen a peep from Kim.

I used to participate in an e-mail list Pick Three run by a guy named 
Bob who lived in FLA. But, he abandoned NASCAR when the cars started to 
become cookie-cutter replicas and the single car teams pretty much lost 
any chance of winning.

I am beginning to have leanings in that direction with the "common 
template" bodies and the cars being raced having absolutely _no_ 
relationship to the product in the dealer showroom under that badge. If 
NASCAR goes to a common engine (as the rumour has it) I'm definitely out 
of here and back to Saturday Night Short Track.

I really miss the days of _STOCK_ car racing.

ENJOY!!!
