dum de dum! (dramatic drum sounds)
Thursday, June 9th, 2005The higher staff in RSC has known this for a little while, but finally I get to tell the rest of you! I was approached by FIRST to take up a position of employment with them working on their “new product” and I accepted. This is a dream for me and I never imagined it when I setup a shoddy little website back in April 1999 that turned into this place, (RSC has existed since December 18th 2001 when the forums went online). I can’t say moderating his place has been fun but it has been educational!
I know there will be some comment about this, but I’m really not debating things anymore. However you feel about anybody, I feel I have friends and ‘colleagues’ in sim racing at all quarters, Jure from BHMS, Jan from US Pits among the best of them. Life has been pretty messy with the move to Northern Ireland etc (those of you who have been here from the Legends Central days know how much that site cost both myself and Phil Lee), but to get an offer like this? To work with someone like Dave Kaemmer?
When I was taking my exams at school, my friend Kieron and I went back to his place (I had an Amiga), turned on his PC and ran Indy 500 for a few hours… My life has been racing simulations for 10 years, Dave has been the author of them for 10 years also. RSC is five years old.
My fondest memories in sim racing are back in the days of early Grand Prix Legends, some of you who are still here were here way back then too. I hope you guys get the same feelings about Dave’s latest as I had about GPL way back in 1998.
No matter how you feel, please be happy for me achieving my dream here, good karma says if you do you’ll get yours too.
Tim.
