Now, let's not bog down this thread with more OT.
Off Topic: I simply want an email when this thread updates. Now I will get them.
We had some good quality racing on our Tier 1 server last week. 
I look forward to more of the same through the holidays! Everyone please feel free to check out this tiered system in the near future.

Congratulations guys. It's nice to see some more teams with longevity, after all the short lived attempts in this community.
My wife's cousin ended up divorcing Mark Bryan a couple years ago, seemed like all the members had divorces after they made it big.
We learned today, my wife's cousin married Jim Sonefeld (Sonny) this past week end... what a Yoko!
Hehehe, that's what I love about you Lee, you always respect the elders.
You know you passed up your chance at Mid-Ohio this year. And I truly was going to let you drive the pink one this year, just like I promised.
I'm bumping this thread to make it visible again for the benefit of folks new to LFS that may not know of us.
I also want to take the opportunity to invite folks to our Tier 1 server this evening, to participate in some good clean racing in the MRT. Look for us beginning around 8:00pm EST.
This S3 Racing Tier 1 is further explained in this thread.

Once a week or so S3R has a team event night, this week we are holding this event on our Tier 1 server.
Of course it is open to the public and we encourage you folks to come out and enjoy an evening of racing with us. Anytime after 8:00pm EST, folks should start gathering.

S3 Racing Servers are here in the states. You wont find folks on every evening but a lot of evenings.
Bah! You old fart! Get with the program...
As a youngster I was assistant captain on my hockey team the year we went to the Nationals. We were the first team from our city to ever go that far. We placed 8th out of 8 teams...

I've partied with these guys after they made it big...
Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber & Jim Sonefeld.
My wifes cousin married Mark Bryan. We spent an all expenses paid week on the beach with them the week of the wedding We've been to private parties hosted by Dan Patrick (from ESPN) for charity golf benefits where the Blowfish were just some of the celebrities.

Lived with the benefits and pitfalls of the US auto industry for 40 years.
Born and raised near Dayton, Ohio., three generations of my family have had careers with GM. Starting with my Grandfather in the 1950's, who retired as the longest salaried employee in the history of GM as a parts buyer. My father who became a tool maker in the late 70's and took a buyout a couple of years before full retirement. My cousin, a chassis Engineer who took a buyout just 5 years from full retirement. And I worked in the engineering design industry as a contractor to many different suppliers to the auto industry until those opportunities began to go away as far back as ten years ago.
Note, with exception of my father's career, we've all had white collar jobs.
I've gone back and forth about the Unions, to the conclusion that they are not at fault here. At one time Union wages were a bit over the top but as far back as a decade ago, newly hired workers' wages were more reasonable.
I think our politicians are the first to blame followed closely by these companies' top management, executives, and directors. Our politicians are to blame for having the oil companies in they're wallets for decades, and for the lack of understanding how to implement truly valuable regulations on the industry. This benefited the greed of the industry greatly, allowing these companies to squash or purchase and kill any new technology that would be seen as a threat to the politician/oil/auto threesome. Oil companies that buy patent rights to a battery, and shelf it instead of furthering development.
NAFTA was a gloss over. Using the argument that Unions were killing the auto industry. We lost jobs and the execs made more money, and the companies' spent record amounts ensuring quality of product manufactured everywhere but in our back yard.
Unfortunately, it looks as though this country would have a devastating reaction to the status quot. 3 million jobs are at risk, not including those already lost.
The feds should review the history of they're own relationship with the industry. Break the executive stranglehold on these companies and force them to re-invest in the very technologies they in the past have paid enormous effort and investment to stop. Revisit the relationship between clean, low cost energy, fuel sources, and the automobile. Provide incentives for the industry to convert plants to alternative manufacturing, then lease them and the supporting employees to other developing industries. We are told that 3 million jobs could be created by rebuilding our power grid with new technologies.
If there is any payback to the taxpayer for a bail-out, it should be in the development of future employment.
And if the auto industry were forced to comply with these types of regulations, I would be in favor of a bail out.

30 minutes and 3 pages just to get to the porn here...
Now you've opened a can of worms...
Prototypes and CAD, two of my most favorite subjects.
I live for the day we have a Prototype car in LFS. One of our best drivers is on a iRacing hiatus and I don't expect to get him back until we see a Prototype in LFS.
I've used AutoCAD for over 20 years. I began modeling solids in AutoCAD with release 14. Now I own my own license of Inventor 11, Mechanical Desktop and AutoCAD Mechanical. Inventor is the premium Autodesk product by far. I have used Pro E in the past but haven't gotten into Solid Works or Solid Edge.
With manufacturing leaving this country, so has a lot of mechanical/product engineering and design. I have had to leave the industry and enter Architecture. Now I am back at AutoCAD with a poorly written add-on called Microvellum, engineering wood cabinetry.
Oh well, at least there is LFS when I get home every day and the ongoing dream of driving a Prototype...

Love to have a CTS like this one in LFS.
Just a month ago I watched this car smoke Porches, Mustangs, Vipers Astons and the occasional Vette in the American LeMans Series at Mid-Ohio.
