I'm sure I would love one, but why is it going all over the place while he's driving?  At most it should have little bumps as he hits the rumble strips, but it shouldn't be reacting like he's in a jet fighter!  :-?

I've seen some in Vegas many years ago that were jet fighter sims and could barrel roll - very cool!

Here's my racing setup (currently in storage with the rest of my life...  :( ) with full surround sound built into the chassis:

Is that a PC trackball (top pic) for gaming or is it some sort of oversized mouse thingy? I'd love to find a trackball ball for the few vintage games that are simply not the same without one.

Nice seat.  :)

cheaper ordered elsewhere, of course.

It might be cooler if they weren't optical, for the old style roller lint clean-out days and all that. ;)

Hey, pretty slick looking...now, to see if Best Buy carries that brand...

It's a Kensington Expert Mouse.  It was a trick I learned from a friend years ago and, after practicing for a while - even using it with Word and Excel zipping to the cell or word I needed, I could use it to dominate punks online.  (Muhahahaha!)

My friend and I each had a "squad" in an online Counter Strike gaming league and ended up #1 (my team) and #2 (his).  Our videos got sent to the league directors a lot with claims of hacking because the little whining kids couldn't figure out how we were able to be that good (at twice their age!).  That trackball and a low ping were the real answers.  Ah...  Good times!  

Here's a screen shot after my team made #1 - it took a bit longer for my friends team to get up to #2 then we played each other for the "title" and my team won - then we quit while on top.  ;D



There used to be a website that tracked over 330,000 players of Quake 1 and I was in the top 25 there as well!  :)

ah, so this is what I'm supposed to be doing now that I'm too old to be an ath-o-lete?   ;D

No, you're just expected to weed the garden and chase kids off your lawn.  ;)

You're not too old to be an athlete Howie,  you're just too old period ....  ;D

If anyone is divorced and has one of those, you now know why.  ;D
