A tidbit of general news Posted Sunday 2:49 AM, February 4, 2001 by ErikF
If you haven't used Napster, you likely know someone who has. Well, Gnutella has been lurking in the background since last March, but now file sharing via the web may have just become a little more viable. Check out "Bearshare" here and this article on MSNBC for more info. This is of course off topic, until we start talking about the potential copyright nightmare such software may cause for software developers and music moguls alike.
Dale Earnhardt, "learning how to shift" Posted Saturday 11:41 AM, February 3, 2001 by ErikF
DE has an interview up at Autosport discussing the Rolex 24. Check it out here.
As a non-fan of the man in black, I have to include this quote: "When we first tested the car at Sebring back in November, we beat the car a little bit up, particularly the transmission. Now I'm learning about shifting with these cars."
20+ years behind the wheel and still learnin'! ::)

Houston, we have a problem.... Posted Monday 1:24 PM, January 29, 2001 by jkohl
This may be the wierdest request you ever see on the front page of The Pits, but one of our guys DOES have a problem. Stuart Brown, our resident test driver/racing ace, has come over to visit us from the UK. As luck would have it, his wisdom teeth have finally went over the top after he got here. Since he's from the UK (which has a national heath service), he has no insurance to get fixed over here. So if any of you all have any ideas that would A) prevent him from having to cut his vacation short and go back to the UK to get it fixed, or B) keep him from having to spend tons of money at normal dental rates, please jump to our feedback section and let us know...Stu will be (painfully) waiting...we're in Raleigh, NC. Oh, yes, and he's already tried numbing it with Jack Daniels... ;]

Anderstorp for GPL released! Posted Friday 8:27 PM, January 26, 2001 by ErikF
Martin Granberg let us know that Anderstorp is now available for download.
"Anderstorp has the feel of an airfield circuit, is relatively flat and has wide open grassy runoff zones. It is a tight and twisty circuit but includes a 30m wide and 1km long straight which is also used as a runway. For a road circuit several of its corners are very banked. One peculiar thing about the track is that the Start/Finish line is not located near the pits."
Get it here.
