| Indianapolis, Indiana, USA saying Hello | |
Hi all,
Being American and not educated in the German language I'm not able to understand most of what I try to read here. I'm sorry for the English post but it is all I know. I feel a bit like an outsider here but I would like to race with EOLC and I know we all speak the same language on the track. (although some seem to be able to "speak" much faster than me.  )
I have been sim racing some 8 years, began with NASCAR sims then about 5 years ago I found GPL. Soon after I gave up stock car sims and GPL became the only racing sim I cared for. I have been "on and off" in GPL over the years and now I find myself back again and looking for some league type racing. I've seen many of you EOLC members on your servers and others on VROC, I think a few here have raced around me for a while now, hopefully you've found me to be a considerate racer.
I look forward to entering the EOLC races as often as possible. Almost all of my GPL racing has been in the Eagle although I have wheeled the others enough to establish a Monster rank, albiet something like +85 compared to the -15 in the Eagle.
A word about my racing, I understand "to finish first, first you must finish" and also do my best to make sure my problems don't become another racers problems. I am aware of the limitations of online racing and always try to race with that in mind.
So, Hello EOLC! 
Al Rosemeyer
(yes, that's my real name, not like I had any control of that, it just is.  )

Hi,
welcome!
We had a discussion about the saying "To finish first, you have to finish first" or ist it like you told us: "to finish first, first you must finish" ?
I used it in the german news and I would like to quote it the right way.
Patrick
Edit: Some say it is from Ron Dennis (the one from the EOLC news)

Thank you all for your welcome!
Now, to the questions.
1. "To finish first......" I do not know who started this, the way I have heard it is the way I said it. I can not verify which is correct or who said it first.
2. Colts in the Superbowl? I don't think so, not just yet. Playoff's most likely but only Superbowl with a lot of luck. IMHO.
3. Yes, I am joining from the US with pings in the 220 to 240 range. In the past I have heard that less than 300 is OK if it is stable. Connection seems good but if you see me warping please tell me so I can clear the track before causing trouble.
Again, thanks for the warm welcome!
Al Rosemeyer

Welcome Al !
U been to the Indy500 somewhen ?
We cant hold step with the size of our race-events, but surely we have a lot of F1 fans in germany. I still wonder why F1 is so tiny in US.
IMHO ( In my horrible opinion LMFAO ) it is to finish first, you have to finsih first.
same words, 2 meanings.
