I found a way to put video online, so maybe I’ll be adding more of these soon.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted some pics of the kids and grand-kid.  Here are a few of the recent ones.  There are a ton more, but I figured I’d get some up so I wouldn’t feel so bad about how lazy I’ve been.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll get some more pictures up later.  Hopefully I’ll have the online photo album up soon.  Too many things to do and not enough time to do them.

I’ve been completely absorbed in online sim racing for years now.  It began with Papyrus NASCAR Racing 4 and has blossomed over the years into other racing sims.  I’ve thoroughly enjoyed other sims like NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, Grand Prix Legends, GTR, GTR2, rFactor, and more.

However, the Godfather of sim racing, Dave Kaemmer, teamed up with John Henry (principle owner of the Boston Red Sox) to create the most epic online racing service ever – iRacing.  After spending time behind the wheel of the many cars iRacing has to offer, none of the other sims I used to frequent feel the same.  The level of realism and attention to detail is amazing.  All the tracks are laser scanned, so all bumps, small and large, are there.

Anyway, here are the rides I’m running for this season.  The Riley is assuming I can get my Safety Rating up high enough to be able to run in that series (here’s hoping).

Formula Mazda – Star Mazda Series
	Chevy Impala SS – NASCAR Sprint Cup
Riley MkXX Daytona Prototype – Rolex Sports Car Series
	Radical SR8 – Various International Series
