I mentioned very little of this in my first blog post so I guess I'll tell the whole story now while I'm waiting for my corn to cook. You see, Sir Yannick likes The Indy Racing League. So he made up his mind that he (Sir Yannick The Second) was appointed from God to recreate the IRL but for Live For Speed. So he started working on the 23 Skins that he felt that he must create in the name of God. Well amazingly only one month later he is done :O So now he is working on the website and oh, would you look at that God has equipt him with that amazing capability aswell... So now the main problem is humans...we dont have enough of them, we have Me, Him, Revolt, and Dan. So that leaves us with the convincing of 19 more humans to join the LFS Indy League! But I must tell you, the site so far is looking amazingly simular to the IRL site and the skins are simply amazing. I'm also pleased with how he found simular road courses. So that is the short story of Sir Yannick and his pasion for the IRL. Anyways my corns done so untill next time Bye!
P.S. I don't believe in god and Sir Yannick is Le French :P

Racer Magazine
As I said before this is the first time I've ever read Racer Magazine and I got to say... it's pretty awesome. Now... I just recently got into open wheel racing and that is the main focus of this magazine. Racer mostly talks about Champ Car, F1, Indycar, NASCAR, NHRA, Sportscars (meaning DP, GT, GS, ST, ect) and in this issue they also had an article on Rally and Go-Karting which I am not a fan of but still an alright read. I also dont like NASCAR and NHRA because....well they suck, nascar is boring as hell and NHRA is the same, drag racing is rarely fun or exciting. Anyways... This is the first racing magazine I have came across so alot of the excitment is to do with that. But one thing i liked was this magazine has some very catchy headers to columns like Corvette Summer?, Kahne & Able, Ground Control, ect. And the photography is just beautiful in this magazine. But ofcourse there must be something bad about it and here it is.... the old news. This is the August Issue and they are talking about Eddie Cheever hitting Michael Andretti wasnt that like... almost 2 months ago at Watkins Glen? And another piece of old news from racer magazine is Michael Schumacher blocks on Monaco!!! lol, wasnt that 5 races ago? Like come on guys I know you have to get all the stories in a little ahead of time and such but thats almost 2 months ago for the cheever thing and just about 3 for the M. Shumacher thing. But other then that I really loved reading this magazine and can't wait till the next one to get here. So untill next time Bye!

4 out of 5 Functional Wheels
1 Fixed Wooden Arm Rest
A True Piece of Gaming History
Made in Canada
Well.... It was bound to happen one of these days. I've had this chair since my first computer, and have owned plenty newbs in this chair. Well I guess the decline of my chairs health was about a month ago when I accidently fell backwards and broke the left arm rest off. Soon after that I took another tumble and ended up breaking one bolt off which holds the back in place. In my desperation to keep it alive I then took it all apart and used some screws from the broken arm rest. Everything went well from then on untill about a weekago when I broke a wheel. At this point I came to realize that I must appreciate every minute together because I never knew when it will be the last. And then today it finally packed it in...I was leaning back on it and snap one of the bolts from the back gave out and snapped, so my chair is now broken and up for sale. I am yet to put it on ebay but I best advise you emailing me first if you interested before it hits ebay and the price is raise too high. I have spent over 10,950 hours in this very chair, and owned roughly 16,491 newbs!

FIA Bans BMW's Vertical Nose Fins
Well I gotta tell ya' I did not see this coming. It was ugly...but to ban it, are you kidding me. FIA thought of it as a saftey concern because of the drivers visability. Yet the drivers of the BMW say that it didn effect their vision at all. So FIA is banning this addition to the BMW car even though it passed inspection before the french GP. And there seems to be nothing in the rule book that prevents them from having those fins. Anyways... Maybe its a good thing cause Ferrari and Williams were looking more into that design and thats all we need... Bye!

Magazines....
So my Racer magazine came today which is a good thing, but i am yet to read it. You see I like my magazines and got tired of hunting them down month after month so I subscribed to the ones I still have time to read. That means leaving out my Knife and Gun books :( So recently I subscribed to Racer Magazine, Road & Track, and Car and Driver. Now prior to subscribing I had never seen Racer Magazine in stores, so I hope this all goes well and I like it. But Road & Track is a strange story... Ive always liked Road & Track better then Car and Driver so it was my first magazine to subscribe to but because I move so fucking much I ended the subscription because I was tired of changing the address. Well I feel that I am going to be here for a while so I signed up once again. This time it was strange, 3 copies of the same August issue came in the mail one after another. This I don't mind because I place them strategically threw out the house. But I hope they know that I'm not paying for that :P I only sent one subscription card so there is no reason why I'm getting multiple copies. So now my Car and driver, Racer, and Road & Track are in effect as of this month let's just hope that I wont be getting 3 copies of Road & Track. I'm thinking of cancelling Car and Driver though, I just don't know what it is about that magazine I just dont like it all that much. I'm no writer or anything but I'll tell you how Racer is once i finish it. I'm Still working on an outro, so...Bye!

Sci-Fi...
Well I have never been a Science Fiction fan. I didn't watch any of the Starwars untill the last one was released and I relized that it is a must see no matter if it's your genre or not. So when told to check out a Sci-Fi series i was a little unwilling. So I downloaded it... I went into the series with very low expectations because it was Sci-Fi and was shocked as to how good the show actually was. I find that it's a good show that is worth a watch even though its Sci-Fi. I am not saying this is a must watch but it does deserve atleast a second look. I know, it doesn't seem too appealing when people come from a beam of light but, as far as i know (which is very little about Sci-Fi) this is an original idea. And if drawn out properly can go on for many many seasons. The acting isnt that great, and I dont like the twist in Season 2 Episode 6 and the show seems to be heavily endorsed by Chrysler. I don't have any problems with this show other then those minor things, which dont really change the outcome of the show bad enough to dislike it. But enough with The 4400 on to racing. I haven't been racing much which is sad but I plan on coming back to racing very soon. Before the IRL starts up because I still need to learn some tracks. In other racing news for me, I quit DSR... Not that I was in dsr very long, just things were getting chaotic and people were starting to catch onto me :P I can't wait untill Sir Yannick launches the IRL and when he does... it may just be the most popular thing on lfs, which would be rather interesting to have many people wanting to participate. Another news topic for my first blog entry is that I have finally got my paypal working, makes things a whole lot easier and I'm liking it so far. Anyways thats all I have for you at the moment so untill next time Bye!
