who here was part of Hawaii?

Yeah...Late Night with Dave was a great league. I think we ran in SSCA too.
I don't know what happened to him...I think he got a job with Creative and
had to give it up...

I never did the beta work, but I was able to log on a few times and
race. I don't remember any backwards drivers, any obscene flaming, But
there were some pretty intense guys. I got a podium finish after getting
caught up in a 20 car wreck on lap one at...probably Martinsville. I
stayed out with the hood(bonnet) shoved up into the windscreen<windshield>
and motored around. I had one teeny/tiny piece of viewable real estate in
the cockpit. Got lapped many times by the two guys who missed the
carnage. But the others took so long in the pits I was able to outlast
them.

dave henrie

Yeah...he kept them up awhile too after the league folded. I kept meaning
to grab them but kept putting it off...

Raced a few times on Hawaii. I had a son in college and a new house and just
couldn't afford the phone bills. Think about it, those were dialup days.
Good quality racing but sometimes intense. I haven't really got back into
the online scene much since. I finally have half-decent dsl and am thinking
about getting back into it if there is anyone out there who would take an
old "newbie" and help him through the ropes.

I guess the current state of on-line racing is about where I thought it
would be. I didn't think the community would be as scattered though. Back
in the day everyone would be meet on Hawaii, Compuserve, or TEN. A central
meeting place is probably the thing the community needs the most to get it
back to where it used to be. There are still some good leagues out there
and broadband is finally available to most people...even CW Webster is using
broadband now...lol. I thought Papyrus would keep making Nascar and Indycar
games forever...obviously that didn't happen.

I was a tester but could not actually get the connection working,
there was some technical problem (can't remember what).
