Road Atlanta 2007 By Ewan Chalker, A.K.A. "Uzzi"

Several hours before green flag and I connect for Round 5 of  the USF1 League LMS Championship in Road Atlanta. Dave Carney, the overall leader of the series, leaves the server just as I login; looks like he and Karsten have been running some laps in the LMP1 cars. I jump into my Porsche to do some reconnaissance.

I have raced here before using the Redline GTP mod for NR2003 so I am a little familiar with the track layout. There's plenty of excitement with some challenging curves, huge elevation changes, and a long back straight. However, this initial test version by Uzzi is missing some trackside objects and adboards and a bit boring visually. I feel like I am cruising around in some rural back road passing through some ghost town, instead of participating in an international motorsport event.

Anyway the 997 is great fun to drive and the engine sounds spectacular. With the wind blowing and the road rumble, it all comes together like some orchestral movie score. Approaching top speed in sixth gear and very near the rev limit, a high pitched whine like some trumpet crescendo comes to the fore, and the car itself announces its arrival into the sublime temporal territory of escape velocity. 

Karsten, the points leader in GT2 division, re-enters the server with his own Porsche 997 and goes out for a short stint. I try to stay on his tail, but I fail. After a few more laps, the TOS in my right arm starts acting up again and I decide to pit in. Checking the time sheets, I find my best lap is more than 5 seconds slower than Karsten's. Time for a smoke break.

Some 20 minutes before qualifying, Karsten starts typing up some setup tips in the chatbox. I plug-in some of the values into my car, and on my first timed lap with the new configuration I run more than 2 seconds faster than my previous best. Still more than 2 seconds behind per lap though, and at this pace, with the race scheduled for 120 minutes, I'll be way behind by checkered flag.

EXISTENCE is FARCE

There is no such thing as

a non-delusional experience


All meaning and purpose and value
originate from false persistent beliefs
that result from cognitive dissonance caused by 


the restrictions of the self
(imprecise senses, faulty memory, limited lifespan)
the constraints of society
(insidious indoctrination of inaccurate information)
the bounds of space-time
(arbitrary laws of physics and chemistry)


"It means these are all lies!"


Perhaps not a deliberate deception

 but a coherent confabulation
based on an obfuscating omission
