Hi Dan and welcome to the league.
I'm another 59 (60 next month) year old who sucks as well.
Never raced a Rocket Scientist before, I hope I can keep up

Hi, I'm Dan Kiewicz. I've been around sim-racing for a long time and I still suck. ;) But, I will race you clean and I love the camaraderie that a good league brings. I've raced with CRO and Pan American Sim Racing League both at Race2Play and before Mike Kolar moved it there.

I'm going to have to get used to this Sunday morning thing. I realized at 10 a.m. this morning I had missed today's race. I'll see if I can remember next weeks! LOL!!!

I'm 59 years young and I work at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. That's one reason it's so hard to find leagues because they all start too early on the weekdays as I have a 2 hour commute and I'm usually not home before they start.

See you on the track, I look forward to being lapped!

Dan...

Here's my other weekend diversion...




Welcome also on my behalf Dan!

Science is great :) Up there with sim-racing ;)

I hope to see you on track soon!

Dan, don't believe Gerry... he is a liar. He is NOT slow. I think he is trying to fool you into thinking that so he can demolish you on track. I fell for his lies once, so you don't have to.

Just look for a red Mercedes SLS... and cut that b**tard off!!! Mwah huh huh!!!

Welcome Dan.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I look forward to racing also. I haven't been doing much lately, so I guess it's time to knock the rust off and see what I can do.

I just want to say, I'm no smarter than anyone else. JPL's been a great gig for 33+ years and I'm glad I was part of most every project we've flown. Lots of fond memories of firsts and I got to be part of them.

But in the end, it's just a job that you do 24/7. :)

Dan ...

This was Mars Orbit Insertion for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO).

Completely jealous...

Maybe when I retire from the force they will take a guy in his mid 50s to push a broom around.

'ello everyone.
Pete is the name, from Derbyshire in the UK.
Not terribly quick or experienced (only been racing online for a few months) but like to think I am clean and fair so I'll just prop the league up from the bottom if y'all don't mind.  :D

Hi Pete. Thanks for joining this rag tag bunch of miscreants. Ignore Michael. He is a tool. Speaking of Tools I am curious how you came to fins our group? Through the S397 Forums?

Hope to see you on track.

Thankyou gents. I can see me and Michael are going to get on very well as we share a sense of humour.  ;D

Yes it was the post on the S397 forums that led me here, although I was (sort of) following the old VSRC? group before it died.

Hi Pete,

Glad you decided to join us :) It's good that europeans also find their way here, Sunday evenings (also mornings) should be good time for racing.

See you on track soon!

i_hortal: Guilty as charged! Small world! I remember Tom (Marketcrash) from there, what were yours (and your buddy's) usernames?
I partly signed up here as it was looking like they weren't going to continue at SRGP but they have just announced season 4 in the Meganes this morning.



Tig_Green: Cheers! I will be easy to spot, I'll be the guy at the back getting in everyones way as they lap me. XD
