Enough is enough
09:35 AM on Jul 09, 2008

Its no secret that I've raced here a lot and enjoyed the majority of my time here. I've been involved in some really great moments on and off the track and I wouldn't trade them. But, I've also been involved in some unhappy moments, and they have become more and more frequent recently. Whether its poor sportsmanship or poor administration, and even though it is the minority that have caused it, I've had enough of it and can find better places to pursue my hobby without this garbage.

Anyway, just wanted to say thank you and goodbye to all the people who have made the last two years (and more if you go back to the TM.net days) really enjoyable. Hopefully I'll see you all again in the future.

Cya
Scott

Damn... was always great racing you, you made sim-racing a lot more interesting with some great on-track fights we had. Probably the best all-round R2P driver leaving this place, sad...

Good luck in future (sim)racing and real-life stuff!

Hope you find what you are searching for.
Good luck .

Life can have it's ups and downs and sometimes hard decisions have to be made, I'm sure you'll benefit from trying something new.

I know is tough Scott...I've been in the same spot, plus I have made mistakes by overreacting to posts and feedback and completely forgot about sim racing and R2P philosophy...And that is that sim-racing is just for fun. I kinda took it very serious and all it did it was just hurting me. I have not made good friends in some instances but that's the price I paid. Think about it and don't throw away all the time you've put into R2P. And as Joco said, you'll be back...He's told me that before and here I am...

Cheers!

That's a bummer Scott. I know we have had our own run in's at times but I have always respected your abilities. Hope to see you again sometime on a track.
