ťť The Pits Crew

So who does what at The Pits? Who are these clever clogs who make this site go around? Who do I contact about my questions? .

	Jan 'Mad Yank' Kohl (Raleigh, NC) Jan is the administrator of The Pits, and has been doing this since 1996...great fun! His favorite sport is "castle rallying". That's where you try to find the fastest routes between castles, much to the dismay of any passengers in the car. Overnight maintenance stops are allowed, at any open pubs for the crew to top off their tanks. Of course, in the US, you could have a considerable expense just trying to find a castle... "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I'd be considerably better looking than our OTHER brother, Ralf... ;]"
	Jim "Gator" Getzen (Florida) Jim is our resident CART nut and, as you can tell by his nickname, Florida Gator fan. He races a number of sims these days, but he spends most of his time praying to the racing gods for a new CART simulation. Quote: "If we don't get a decent CART sim soon, I might go postal." "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I'd tell him he needs to win a race on an oval to prove he's a complete driver".
	Goy 'Uncle' Larsen (Norway) Goy is a "tweaker" by nature, doesn't matter what it is, cars, computers or lawnmowers, if it can be made to go faster he'll have a go at it, and as a result most of his stuff looks the part! He claims if he could make a Yugo was faster than a Ferrari, he'd drive the former...although he draws the line with a Ford... "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I'd take a DNA test and have a serious talk with my mother"!
	Sean 'SS' Staples (Toronto, Canada) Sean has been running The Pits Touring Car Championship, and also many other sections of The Pits. Whether behind the wheel at the computer, or on the golf course, Sean can't figure out whether he'd rather be a kid again, or retired at 30. While contemplating the situation he also enjoys running over small Japanese cars with his Oldsmobile. "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I'd be Ralf"!
	Dave 'Neat' Noonan (London, UK) Dave is one of those guys who amazingly comes up with new things at the drop of a hat...kinda takes after Jed that way. When you're out on a limb, Dave suddenly comes up with something that has you going "NEAT!!! Dave! How'd you do that???"...
	Gilles "Bodyman" Benoit (Montreal, Canada) Gilles can straighten out bodies like you wouldn't believe...he has to because he has another nickname..."The Wall"! He likes to write VB editors for sims. He always start big projects and then have no time left for simracing... "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I would surely be racing somewhere now "!
	Jim 'GP2' Dunphy (Toronto, Canada) Jim has come on board to take care of our Grand Prix Racing and F1RS efforts...if he doesn't know it about Formula 1 sims, you can't find it! He used to run the prestigious site "The Grandstand".
	Dave 'T' Turman (Oklahoma) Dave is a bit of a 'jack-of-all' trades, and he's certainly done alot of superb work here! He describes himself as "who dabbles in a bit of everything when time allows.." That is, when he's not hotrodding around Oklahoma, blowing away boy-racers with his 'Stang... "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I'd be proud of his talents, a bit embarrassed by his personality and actions, and hell bent on getting paddock passes for each and every F1 race on the circuit and a light duty position on the team to pay my expenses. :))"
	Erik "Flips-A-Lot" Frechette (Tampa, FL) Erik is the man behind our Grand Prix Legends, Rally Champ 2000 and Expose pages. He enjoys Formula One, rambunctious ladies and well-refined spirits, in no particular order. :;) "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I'd have a drive with WilliamsF1, supermodels in skimpy negligee and a reason to legally change my last name!"
	Ken 'GimmePeace' Shropshire (Iowa City,Iowa) Ken took over the reins of IWCCCARS, and has not had one moment of peace since then. Trying to keep track of all those car painters can make you dizzy! "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...Michael who? Is this a trick question? Wait a minute...wasn`t he a famous Jockey? Yeah...he rode a seahorse to victory in the Preakness!!"
	Stan 'da-MAN-Down-Under' Allen (Mt Kuring gai, Australia) Stan is a great sim editor, usually found with tons of paper on the floor with vertices and points all over them...his other interests outside of Aussie V8's and motor racing in general is aircraft and yachts(RC models). He's been trying to figure out a way to hook up his racing controller to the yacht... "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...too damn scarry to even think about--UGH--probably take him out on a real Yacht and toss him over the side!"
	Stuart 'Steamroller' Brown (Bristol, UK) Stuart's our test driver from England, and he's no one to tangle with on a roadcourse! He's the one we pass all the new testing sessions to, because he just rolls right over our best times!
	'Honda' Vince Cuffaro (Lakewood, OH) Vince likes little cars with lots of horsepower...in fact you may have seen his Honda Civic picture in the IDRA sim...it's the one roasting it's tiny meats! Hence his like for sports car racing... "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I'd ask him to get me that cute blonde pit girls phone number!"
	Jim 'MoparMan' Kerekes (Waterville, MN) Jim is the master webmeister/painter for IWCCCARS, and likes to restore Mopars. He currently holds the world record for spotting a 1958 Chrysler Saratoga, from an amazing distance of .766 miles. "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I would deny it to anyone who asked me. But if he funded my own Winston Cup team, then I might change my tune."
	Nigel Pattinson (New Zealand) Nigel is a programmer extrordinaire, and has written several great utils for sim racers. "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...".
	Eric Miller (St Louis, MO) Eric does the 'hardware dude' job with The Pits. "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...".
	Stefan Karlsson (Sweden) Stefan is an adept sim editor, with several notable editing projects under his belt from SCGT & F1-2000. We can't get him away from his computer to find out what else he likes...except he keeps saying "Cragganmoore"...Stefan also detests Michael Bolton, and has threatened to run over any CDs or tapes that come his way... "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I would teach him that real cars have fenders!"
	Scott "Profit" Husted (Bethlehem, PA) Scott is one of the newsanchors for The Pits: Powersims Magazine...When it comes to computers, he lacks the expertise to be very useful but knows enough to be dangerous! He likes football & auto racing, in combined events... ;] "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I would ask him what it's like to drive in an open wheel "parade".
	Tim "MacDaddy" McArthur (Crockett, CA) Tim is one of the very talented 'track authors', although he claims he is horrible at graphics. He's a big F1 fan, but says he would take races from the early '90s any day over today's 'parades'... "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...hmmm, Im thinking break his legs and offer my racing services for free to Ferrari :)"
	Scott "Hoosier6" Moore (Plymouth, IN) Scott comes on board as part of The Pits:PowerSims Magazine. he isn't a track editor, programmer, or setup guru, but has an opinion on the work of everyone who is. He spends his free time with combat jet sims, Need for Speed 5, and fixing his kid's PC when they break it. "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...I'd have a hell of a time explaining why I cant find an apex with both hands and a flashlight."
	Danny "Nothing Shakes The Mountain Like a V8 SuperCar" Gelston (Tasmania, Australia) Danny is a 3d modelling guru, and he also hails from the 'Land Down-Under'. As his quote suggests, he's a big fan of the V8 Supercar Series there...and one of his future goals is to put out a completely accurate Bathurst for everyone to enjoy! Heck, we're looking forward to it here at The Pits! "If Michael Schumacher were my brother...perhaps my wife would stop complaining about money......but then again!!"
