Valid points. And exactly why I like the idea.

If I'm being honest, I...

1. Am tired of online crash fests.
2. Truly, TRULY sick of the whole mod thing. Really, I am. I just wanna

3. Love the idea of a centralized scoring system.
4. Love the idea of people racing under their REAL names.
5. People being responsible for their actions.

And a bunch more.
