Not sure what you mean here Joe, I am not even sure what top guys/drivers means for you, if it is alien fast with over sized ego who can’t even show good example by finishing their race because they are not on the podium, then I am not sure we really need them. And good competition can be achieved at any level, what we need is hardcore race lovers who are ready to race maturely and show good example by being clean, consistent and friendly…being a racer is not only an ability, it is also a mentality. I think the attitude of many (not all) aliens in lfs has a perverse effect on the racing ambiance because they have no respect for anyone but themselves...
@Phill: I agree with you about the numbers of teams, and we also miss a lot of ''serious'' public racing like we use to have... and that’s why I think it is more important now than ever to help smaller or new teams to achieve something, that’s the best way to motivate them to stay in lfs…I think by doing that we can have a solid league community and full grids again. Anyway my 2 cents here is, the best way for amateur drivers (who are a majority this days) to have fun and be encouraged to progress is by matching drivers and their pace in good quality leagues…NDR is the best league organization atm and they have experience with amateur races!

@Troy: not really true for this year as we had GT1 Challenge a few month ago and we have GT Masters running ATM…That said I like the GT1WS idea too!
@Deko: just a little note, I think you miss some kind of amateur league, I understand you don’t want to run GTAL anymore. But it is important to prepare the new generation of drivers and GTAL was perfect for that, when amateurs try to join big leagues, they are so much off pace that they lose motivations. And they are many teams around who don’t have PRO line ups yet, they need something to prepare them… I know GTAL was very useful for us, it is what got us in to league racing after all! (not every team can recruit good drivers and I think ‘’bigger’’ teams should have an AM line up to form their new drivers instead of only recruiting the best ones…the quality of the leagues is not only in the hands of the organization, the drivers are also very much responsible, so good preparation is important)
Another little note here, I noticed that too many drivers still do not prepare their races well and it shows in the events, so is there not something you/we could do to insure a minimum training has been done? Like required official training sessions (of some kind) in the days or weeks preceding the races? Another idea would be to have the bigger teams to mentor one smaller team each to help them improve, after all what we all want here is good competition and as many strong teams as possible, so we could help I think…
I do like the idea of TBO challenge and I must say that I agree with Isaac and J@tko about TBO endurance, would be a great idea!...not enough good quality road car leagues any way! (we have like 5 drivers who never participate in leagues because they only like road cars and the offered leagues are poor quality)

Well, a year ago we've changed our way of doing things and one of the main thing is we don't do too many leagues at the same times...specially not two different races on the same day. So instead of the 3 cars we were planning, only one will be possible
... When I was your age yeah without problems, this days I would need some viagra to hold on so long!...or were you talking about something else?
Depends...we have 6 drivers in lfscart...
We'd like to participate in this 24h race, but we will give priority to what is already started...lets see...
Damn I am just back from an heavy race weekend in SPA and I was really looking up to watch the stream and replay from this race, now I am not so sure...
@Isaac: THX for exposing our team's low IQ in public, just note that with the little brain we have we don't pretend to be perfect and contrarily to some teams we do deal with our problems and try to improve!

Ho, and you think that trolling and flaming are not?
Like I said, the banning part is too extreme, system could be tested without...
I saw a mod like this run on a very busy forum (+1M visitors a month) for years without troubles and the only thing that was added to the posts were two very small buttons (+/-) and the rep total next to it... Sadly that forum has been closed so I can't show it here, but I'll ask my friend what mod he was using.
Good Luck to the new guys and the team!!
@Tommy: Personally I couldn’t care less about the financial aspects in your team, I know Walter has not always shared the right things about himself, I think his actions are a better ambassador for the team, I know he cares about lfs a lot and he’s very dedicated to what he does. I’ve seen many improvised leaders coming and going since I am on lfs, at first I thought Walter would have been one of them, he even had the all community thinking he was a moron, but he has been very resilient and his tenacity has overcome most challenges (in very funny ways sometimes….). For that I respect him!!
I hope you guys manage to make it a success story, those times are bad for lfs and many big teams are struggling, we need good and healthy competitors to have great races!...Get on it!!

What about a reputation system for the forum?
No idea if this has been proposed before, but I’ve noticed that many forum members were posting quality stuff and that many were spending time to try helping others. I always have the feeling to reward those ppls with something more than ‘’good post bro’’ or ‘’+1’’, it seems like a waste of my time and a waste of space in the forum. So what would you all think about a reputation system?
I means something like two buttons added to each posts ‘’thumb up’’ and ‘’thumb down’’ which ppls can click when they appreciate the post (positively or negatively). Of course we all know that some ppls would abuse this system and give unlimited amount to their friends, so everyone could have a maximum of 3 points to give or take each day and a limit of 1 point per post to limit abuses . the posts could display its score (maybe on the buttons) and a column could be added to the members list to show reputations. Most of us are competitive ppls here and I am sure it would motivate many ppls to share more substantial stuff and others would be more careful while trolling around… And who knows, It could even help improve the quality of this forum!
On the side, to help admin work, we could even set a minimum of points allowed. e.g. if you get to -20 or -50 you get automatically banned for a week, but that’s maybe too extreme for now…
I know this is doable on VBulletin forums…

Posted something last week about internet blockades on our forum: http://www.ready2rollteam.com/ ... topic.php?f=16&t=1242
Download autoruns here: http://technet.microsoft.com/e ... ysinternals/bb963902.aspx
In the packet you've just downloaded you only need the file called ''autoruns'', right click it and run as admin, go to the ''Boot execute'' tab and uncheck the autochk bit..reboot to test you got the right one!

You’re all a bunch of butt kissers..it was slow, out of focus, it felt like the end of something and the music was so dramatic that my lfs player almost committed suicide…
LOL I am joking of course, beautifully done mate, I loved it!!
