Welcome to the rec.autos.sport hierarchy.  This is a set of newsgroups
dedicated to the discussion of motorsport.

This message will be posted every 7 days to rec.autos.sport.info,
rec.autos.sport.tech, rec.autos.sport.nascar, rec.autos.sport.f1,
rec.autos.sport.indy and rec.autos.sport.misc.  It has some guidelines
on posting to these newsgroups as well as instructions on how to obtain
the FAQ list of Frequently Asked Questions.

1.  NETTIQUETTE

A lot of people read these newsgroups – over 100,000 at the latest
estimate. Some readers are restricted to tortuously slow connections.
Some people pay for their connect time by the minute. Other people just
like to read news when the Net is running slowly. When you post, please
ask yourself questions like:

1.1 The Content of Your Post

  o Are you discussing `organised, legal auto competitions’ ?
    rec.autos.sport.* is _not_ for discussion of roadgoing `sports cars’.

  o Would it be better to post to rec.autos.sport.misc, rec.autos.sport.info,
    rec.autos.sport.tech or rec.autos.sport.nascar ? The charters for
    these newsgroups are listed in section 2.

  o Is a cross posted article is directly relevant to all of the groups
    where it will appear ?  It is usually wrong to cross post an article
    to both rec.autos.sport.misc and one of the other subgroups
    (eg r.a.s.tech or r.a.s.nascar).

  o It is perfectly legal to reproduce short extracts of a copyrighted
    work for critical purposes, but reproduction in whole is strictly and
    explicitly forbidden by international and US copyright law
    unless given permission by the author.

1.2 The Style of Your Post

  o Would you want to read what you are writing ? Might it be better to
    email a comment, or even make no comment ? Spelling and grammar
    flames are particularly dull for the rest of the world, as are posts
    which follow fifty lines of quoted text with "I agreei".

  o On the Net, most people only know you by the words that you write.
    People will pay more attention to your thoughts if your writing is
    clear and easy to read.

  o Trim down your quotes. Delete parts of the article that you are not
    responding to such as other people’s signatures. Its best to have as
    little as possible from previous posts.

  o Humour, and particularly sarcasm, is often misunderstood over the Net
    with hilarious consequences. A smily, , may be advisable.

1.3 Practicalities

  o Is the subject line both descriptive and accurate ?

  o People can select the articles which most appeal to them if you have
    a keyword in the subject field like F1, INDYCAR, NHRA, WRC, F3000,
    IMSA etc. I think ADMIN is good for any posts which discuss the
    day-to-day running of the group, splitting the group, or revising the
    charter.

  o Please try to keep the lines in the main text of your posts to fewer
    than 80 characters per line. When lines are longer than this, it
    becomes difficult to read with many news readers. 72 characters per
    line is a good length, since it allows others to quote you without
    running over 80 characters.

  o If you are following up an article to create a new article, please
    remember to delete the References: line in the header. This will help
    the readers who use a threaded news reader; otherwise your new topic
    will be mixed in with an old one.

  o Please do not post large binary files like GIFs, JPEGs, MPEGs or WAVs
    to rec.autos.sport.*  They will fill the Usenet disk partitions at
    some sites. Some people cannot select which articles they want
    before they have to download them. It is much better to post them
    to one of the alt.binaries.* newsgroups with a short post to
    rec.autos.sport.* to notify anyone who is interested.

1.4 Spoilers

  o If you are going to post about a race before some people will have
    had the chance to watch it on television, say within 48 hours of the
    race, please put (spoiler) in the Subject: line and don’t give away
    the result. You might also want to give people a chance to quit
    reading your message before you give them the news. The most reliable
    way of doing this is with at least 24 blank lines. ^L page breaks
    (hold the control key and press l) do not work for some newsreaders.

  o If you have not yet seen the race, a day after it was on TV, and you
    really don’t want to know who won, please abstain from r.a.s for a
    day. Even if everyone goes by the guidelines, there are always new
    people who won’t know about them.

  o If someone posts results without a spoiler warning, do not post a
    public flame. Mail a reasonably civil email note to that person
    requesting that they use (spoiler) in the future.

1.5 Handling Frequently Asked Questions

  o If you are asking a basic question, please check the FAQ first. If
    the FAQ is has expired on your system, see section 3 for information
    on how to get a copy.

  o If someone posts a question about something that was resolved
    recently, please answer the poster via email. Rehashing something
    that was just discussed is a waste of bandwidth unless you have
    something new to add.

  o Many news reading programs allow you to filter the articles in a
    newsgroup to ignore articles from a particular author or on certain
    subjects using a KILL file. If you’re using rn or its brethren, see
    the rn KILL file FAQ in news.answers.  Some lines that you might like
    in your KILL file for rec.autos.sport.* are:

    /Subject: New Users – Read Me First/h:j
    /Subject: rec\.autos\.sport FAQ.* /h:j
    /From: .*A\.H\. Henry/h:j

2.  CHARTERS

2.1 rec.autos.sport

This unmoderated group is for discussion of legal, organised competition
involving automobiles. Discussion from either of two viewpoints,
spectator and participant, is encouraged. Technical discussions are
generally more appropriately carried on in rec.autos.sport.tech, and
NASCAR (and other professional stock car racing) is discussed in
rec.autos.sport.nascar. Arguments about sports cars are largely
inappropriate, as are most other discussions. For Sale ads are
inappropriate unless they are for competition vehicles and/or equipment.
Discussions of illegal events are marginal; one should probably avoid
advocating breaking the law. (remember, the FBI reads Usenet!)

2.2 rec.autos.sport.misc

Replaces rec.autos.sport as the group in which discussion of
organized, legal motor racing that does not fall within the category
of one of the sub-groups takes places.  Now that rec.autos.sport.misc
has passed, rec.autos.sport will be removed in three months, allowing
time for traffic to move to the new groups.

2.3 rec.autos.sport.info

This is a moderated group which contains announcements, results,
standings, news items, press releases, schedules, `reliable’ rumours,
and other information about automotive racing. No discussion is
permitted; followups are be directed to rec.autos.sport.

2.4 rec.autos.sport.tech

An unmoderated group for discussions about the technical aspects of
racing cars. Discussions that are appropriate for this group include
F1/Indy engines, restrictor plates, aerodynamics, semi-automatic
transmissions, exotic fuels, carbon vs steel brakes, active suspension,
chassis construction etc.

2.5 rec.autos.sport.f1

Anything to do with Formula 1 motor racing, including but not limited
to race results, times from testing, practice, and qualifying, silly
season predictions, rumours, and news.  Discussion of teams, drivers,
cars, engines, rules, safety are also in the charter.

2.6 rec.autos.sport.indy

All Indy Car racing related discussion, including but not limited
to race results, times from testing, practice, and qualifying, silly
season predictions, rumours, and news.  Discussion of teams, drivers,
cars, engines, rules, safety are also in the charter.

2.7 rec.autos.sport.nascar

This unmoderated group is for discussions about all aspects of
professional stock car racing, especially the NASCAR (Winston Cup and
Grand National) but also series such as CASCAR and AUSCAR.

I am starting my search for a new set of tires for my Porsche 944 S2 and
would like some recommendations.

The car came with Pirelli which gave me real tight handling response.  A
few years ago, I replaced the Pirelli’s with B.F. Goodrich Comp T/A’s
and they were TERRIBLE!!  The handling with the Comp T/A’s is very loose
at best.

I’m trying to avoid making the same mistake again, but how do you pick a
tire without knowing what it is going to feel like on your car?  Any
input is appreciated.

I have seen several cars with these strange VERY white headlights…the
best I can describe them is that they look like flourescent lights.  I
dont mean they are very white as in BRIGHT, I mean they are very WHITE.
Like all the other cars headlights look yellow compared to them.  I first
saw it on a Licon MarkVIII, and figured it was something unique to that
vehicle, but I have seen them in other vehicles, even older ones.  

Does anybody know what kind of headlights/bulbs these are and/or where you
can get them???

 Take five minutes to read this and it WILL change your life.

  The Internet has grown tremendously. It doubles in size every 4 months.
  think about it. You see those ‘Make.Money.Fast’ posts more and more.
  That’s … because it WORKS !  So I thought, all those new users might
  make it work. And I decided to try it out, a few months ago.  Besides,
  whats $5.00, I spend more than that in the morning on my way to work on
  coffee ,cigs and gas for the day. So I sent in my money and posted.
  Everyone was calling it a scam, but there are SO many new users from
  AOL, Netcom, etc. they will join in and make it work for you.

  Well, two weeks later, I began recieving bucks in the mail!  I couldn’t
  believe it! Not just a little, I mean big bucks!  At first only a few
  hundred dollars, then a week later, a couple of thousand, then BOOM. By
  the end of the fourth week, I had recieved nearly $47,000.00. It came
  from all over the world. And every bit of it perfectly legal and on the
  up and up. I’ve been able to pay off all my bills and still had enough
  left over for a nice vacation for me and my family.

  Not only does it work for me, it works for other folks as well.  Markus
  Valppu says he made $57,883 in four weeks. Dave Manning claims he made
  $53,664 in the same amount of time. Dan Shepstone says it was only
  $17,000 for him. Do I know these folks? No, but when I read how they
  say they did it, it made sense to me. Enough sense that I’m taking a
  similar chance with $5 of my own bucks. Not a big chance, I admit–but
  one with incredible potential, because $5 is all anyone ever invests in
  this system. Period. That’s all Markus, Dave, or Dan invested, yet
  their $5 netted them tens of thousands of dollars each, in a safe,
  legal, completely legitimate way. Here’s how it works in 3 easy steps:

 STEP 1.

 Invest your $5 by writing your name and address on five seperate pieces
 of paper along with the words: "PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR MAILING LIST." (In
 this way, you’re not just sending a dollar to someone; you’re paying for
 a legitimate service.) Fold a $1 bill  inside each paper, and mail them
 by standard U. S. Mail to the following five addresses:

  1-  John Harry
      1312 Elm
      Duncan, Oklahoma  

  2-  Shery Keys
      4370 Grand Ave
      Ojai CA 93023

  3-  MA Frezzin
      Apt.323 470 Memorial Drive
      Chicopee, MA 01020-5002  

  4-  E.Jimenz
      PO BOX 87-4621 Zona 7
      Panama City (Panama)

 5-  R. Cuffari
       Via Bondano 65, 54037
       Massa (MS) Italy

 STEP 2.

     Now remove the top name from the list, and move the
     other names up.This way, #5 becomes #4 and so on.
     Put your name in as the fifth one on the list.

 STEP 3.

     Post the article to at least 250 newsgroups. There are at
     least 19000 newsgroups at any given moment in time.
     Try posting to as many newsgroups as you can. Remember
     the more groups you post to, the more people will see your
     article and send you cash!

 STEP 4.

     You are now in business for yourself, and should start seeing
     returns within 7 to 14 days! Remember, the Internet is new
     and huge. There is no way you can lose.

     Now here is how and why this system works:

     Out of every block of 250 posts I made, I got back 5 responses.
     Yes, thats right,only 5. You make $5.00 in cash, not checks or
     money orders, but real cash with your name at #5.

     Each additional person who sent you $1.00 now also makes 250
     additional postings with your name at #4, 1000 postings. On
     average then, 50 people will send you $1.00 with your name at
     #4,….$50.00 in your pocket!

     Now these 50 new people will make 250 postings each with your
     name at #3 or 10,000 postings. Average return, 500 people= $500.
     They make 250 postings each with your name at #2= 100,000
     postings=5000 returns at $1.00 each=$5,000.00 in cash!

     Finally, 5,000 people make 250 postings each with your name at
     #1 and you get a return of $60,000 before your name drops off
     the list.And that’s only if everyone down the line makes only 250
     postings each! Your total income for this one cycle is $55,000.

     From time to time when you see your name is no longer on the list,
     you take the latest posting you can find and start all over again.

    The end result depends on you. You must follow through
    and repost this article everywhere you can think of.
   The more  postings you  make, the more cash ends up in
   your mailbox. It’s too easy and too cheap to pass up!!!

     So thats it. Pretty simple sounding stuff, huh? But believe me, it
     works. There are millions of people surfing the net every day, all
     day, all over the world. And 100,000 new people get on the net
     every day. You know that, you’ve seen the stories in the paper.
     So, my friend, read and follow the simple instructions and play
     fair. Thats the key, and thats all there is to it. Print this out
     right now so you can refer back to this article easily. Try to keep
     an eye on all the postings you made to make sure everyone is
     playing fairly. You know where your name should be.

     If you’re really not sure or still think this can’t be
     for real, then don’t do it. But please print this article and pass it
     along to someone you know who really needs the bucks, and see
     what happens.

     REMEMBER….HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.YOU DON’T
     NEED TO CHEAT THE BASIC IDEA TO MAKE THE BUCKS!
     GOOD LUCK TO ALL, AND PLEASE PLAY FAIR AND YOU WILL
     WIN AND MAKE SOME REAL INSTANT FREE CASH!

 *** By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages
 with your name in the list and not sending the bucks to the people
 already included, you will not get much. I know someone who did this
 and only got about $150 (and that’s after two months). Then he sent
 the 5 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had
 over $10,000!

                TRY IT AND YOU’LL BE HAPPY!!!  :o) !!!!!!!!!!
