Hmm strange I thought so I double checked yup thats it ok no problem I think so its a 800 number. This was back in AW days I had the jones big time spent many many hours online. So a month goes by my credit card bill comes in I open it. Oh my god I about had a heart attack as I recall some where in the naborhood on $3500.00 bucks. So I call compuserve ready to flame out WTF they trying to do kill me. I nicley explain what happend told them this was the number setup gave me. I was ready to kill and go totaly ballastic on the phone. Well this very nice and understanding operator says without any hesitation dont worry we will credit back your card for the whole ammount. Heres the correct number for your local 56k connect. Next month my credit card was credited back no problem. Talk about great customer service.

I'd recommend GROWL, fine folks lots of fun. Played GPL with them for a while and had a blast. =)
Gone from the game. Please see Spikes or Nefarious for any Ahevents.net admin needs.

I would like to get in on something like that but I am just a noob in the game. Even though I have had it for a while it just gets minor playing time.

"I downloaded the demo - seems like a good time. Problem is though, it wont let me steer the car with my CH USB fighter stick - hafta use the rudders to steer. Keep overcontroling and hitting the wall. "

Have you gone into the "options," "controllers" panel?  From there you should be able to set whatever axis you want for each control.

For any noob's, check out the GROWL stuff on Fridays or Mondays.  Friday's are especially laid back.

The 99th is running 2 events a week at the moment. A proper league and a 'derby' night.

Wednesday Derby is all about fun rather than track position. As well as 99th chaps we have a couple of AHers in there.

Check us out http://www.99thastag.com hit the 'racing' tab

Our racing BBs, Bubbas Pit Stop at http://pub20.ezboard.com/f99thastagfrm11, call in and say hi.

Snafu

You can race GPL at least with high pings so long as Q is fine.  I raced night before last with a 500 ping, and everyone said I was fine on the track

I been racing it for about a year....http://www.OROCRACINGWORLD.COM.  Firefly39_OROC is me...along with a few other nics I have in there aka , spunagain so on........All you guys that are thinking about trying it may want to wait til NASCAR 2003 Season is out.....Alot of the servers (Papyrus) will be changing to that. It's the last time they're making a nascar sim.
  It's a great game...Wreckers are an issue and always will be. It is a huge adrinaline rush as was posted. Leagues are best thing to be involved in. Best of Luck in racing if you decide to try it.....I've won many races and nothing comes close to it in online gaming IMO than when ya make that pass coming out of last turn and win.  Its just a great time.....Best Of Luck:) :D

I'd like to join.  I've never raced online but after reading these posts I'd like to give it a shot.  Where do I need to go to join?  Should I d/l any particular paint jobs?  What nights/times would we be racing and what tracks (I gotta get some practice in)?

I keep looking for GPL in the bargain sections or compilations, but can't find it.  Anyone have a good source in the US?
