Lol, better than being a cheat and hacker though, eh ? You want to talk
about "harm(but a champion bull****ter) to the community", look in a mirror
next time.

I've also got the AeroWar mod on our league site (along with the other mods
as a mirror for the Pits). I emailed Jan on Saturday or Sunday to let him
know I put the files there (we had a race using the mod last night). You can
find it under Mod Files at http://gscl.cta-racing.com.

Thanks for the link Michael.

As for theuspits.com, I do have a suggestion. Since most of the bad
blood that exists comes in the form of people overusing their right to
free speech on the forums, why not re-invent the site without the
forums on it? Just my 2 cents. Its one of the best Nascar Racing
simulation sites there ever was.

Seems like a good idea. Anyway, people often overlook the fact that they
have no "right" to free speech on privately run web forums...

So sorry to see you guys go. Your service was greatly appreciated
here. I typically checked USPits daily, like reading the daily news.
Best wishes, always!
