Hey Bill, Good luck in your moving process. I've always hated to move, since it is a big pain in the rear. So take care in the move and get yourself settled in and get back to racing with these guys soon. We'll all still be around when you come back (hopefully...lol) so just know you do have a place to race at when you get ready to do it again. Stay safe.

Not to threadjack but it looks like it might be goodbye from me too as our ISP as of June 1st will start throttling once you reach a certain bandwidth limit . Instead of throttling the few customers who are using a big chunk of their bandwidth they decided to screw all of their customers and tack on new fees on top of it . Because of where we live for right now we're between a rock and a hard place since we only have 2 choices in high speed internet service and neither one is worth a damn anymore it seems . At the very least I might be racing on a very limited schedule after June 1st.

As for Spike, what a load of bull**** from that ISP of yours. In this day and age where there should be an advancement they start limiting people? Because of a few who ruin it for all of their clients. How can they not just throttle those few then? They do it here too! I am sure it should be possible for the ISP's over there too! Damn... I would hate to see you race less with us. Always enjoyed the fights on the track with ya! cheers, Triz

At the very least I might be racing on a very limited schedule after June 1st. would hate to see that effect you, or for you to have to race less,, when heat first came out and for yrs after, i raced on line with a dial up connection, with no probs,, buttttt, i had to do alot of tweaking to my comp and connection to get it to work good on line,, so don't lose hope,,, just start researching,, and get your comp and connection fine tuned,, u should be good, even with low bandwidth adapt and overcome, hehe get a hotspot through verizon or other provider, and use satellite and wireless, lol ;D

Got home today & found a letter from our ISP about the new changes. Apparently 2% of the customers are using 30%+/- of bandwidth and instead of just throttling those bandwidth hogs which probably numbers way less than 1,000 they decided that it'd be only fair to give all their customers the finger with new monthly limits. If they really wanted to be fair about it they'd give all their customers their highest speed available internet instead of keeping us all on our current speed limit . Guess I'll just have to layoff watching too many races & shows online too keep us under our new limit. Outlaw have a safe trip. Although I don't have a clue why you'd want to move here to Ohio

I want to live around wauseon outside of toledo..... Outlaw (Old fart) Suburb of Toledo unfortunately. Wauseon is a nice little town, Grand Rapids & Waterville is too. There used to be a small bodyshop in Wauseon that worked on muscle cars and hot rods, not sure if it's still there though. If you can try, don't move into Toledo, gangs have taken over parts of the city and people are stealing anything. Although Maumee is a suburb of Toledo it's quite peaceful & quiet there but the traffic is a nightmare. There's quite a few nice country towns in NW Ohio although some have become drug havens especially where there's no police presence aside from county sheriff or state patrol but those places are few and far between. Cruise that sucks was enjoying racing with you.
