  1. What an incredible race tonight. I started out with a pretty good lead until NC caught up and we swapped the lead several times. I had retaken the lead from him for the third time I see him drop back only 9 laps into the race with a blown motor. This after we got a bit tangled up with Believer a couple of laps earlier and he had dropped back 20+ seconds. I slowed down to make the race interesting. After Believer caught up and passed me for the lead he held the point for one lap til I retook it from him. We ran that way til the mid point of the race.

    At around the 30 lap point of the 60 lap race I got down on the apron of the track and shot right back up to the outside wall coming out of turn 4. After spinning around a few times I gathered it back up and immediately headed for pit road for more fuel and tires. The spin and subsequent pit stop put me a lap down with Believer pitting the next lap and me getting back on the lead lap. After every thing shook out I was 21+ secs behind the leader. Running down the leader with about 28 laps left, I cut into his lead by almost a lap a second. With 5 laps to go I caught the leader and the race was on. I catch up to him on the front stretch coming out of the dog leg going into the first turn at Daytona. Going high in the turn Believer slides up and I pull a Dale Earnhardt move and turn left under him as we come out of turn 2. I'm down on the apron trying to get back on the track Believer and I tangle and spin out (I haven't seen the replay so I don't know who is at fault.) We get sorted out and headed back in the right direction and it's a drag race to see who will take the lead.

    I get the jump on Believer and get the lead only to watch him pass me as we cross the start / finish line. I hold on and draft him only to retake the lead as we shoot down the back stretch. I hold on to the lead for 3 more laps and looking for the win when the white flag flies. I feel comfortable as we go through the first and second turns. As we enter turn 3 I am leading when all of a sudden my back end wiggles and I have to chase the car up the track coming out of turn 4 and see Believer pull to the inside of me. I hold my line as we cross the finish line side by side. We bump each other after crossing the start finish line and both spin out again.

    GRnet Racing has the results of tonights race. I will try and get the pics of the finish posted soon.

    Good race it was. :D

  2. It really isn't that hard to put one together. Parts can only go in one way really unless you force it though if you do force something you are liable to break something. The biggest worry really are the stand offs. They have to be in the right places and no extras otherwise you can ground the board out and possibly short something out that you don't want shorted.

    I have these 2 pages from GameSpy that can help some. First Build Your Own PC is one basic guide and A Builder's Guide to the Ultimate Game Machine is another.

  3. A jury in Texas found the woman who ran her husband over with her Mercedes repeatedly was found guilty of murder yesterday. She was sentenced today to 20 years in prison and fined an undisclosed amount.

    IMO it's kinda hard to refute the video tape of her circling around the driveway several times while she repeatedly hit him. Insane as a defence, I think not as long as she can drive the way she did. Dumb. :blink:

  4. OK here are the parts I got for redoing my PC:

    ASUS A7N8X Deluxe NForce2 mobo

    AMD Althon XP 2400+ CPU

    256MB PC3200 DDR RAM x2

    Lite-On 52x CD-ROM

    Thermaltake Volcano 9 Heatsink/Fan combo

    Antec Blue LED 80MM case fan x2

    I will be working on this come Monday. I have started to move stuff to my other PC so I can put everything back on here after redoing it.
