I have been reading through my 50th anniversary Car and Driver magazine for the last day or two, and there is a lot interesting on it. One tidbit that I read last nite was about Steve Smith, who was editor of the magazine from 1966-68. At the end of his article I read this:

Steve Smith was editor of Car and Driver in the '60s, Motor trend in the '70s, and of PC computing in the '80s. He's driven everything from the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile to the Rover-BRM Le Mans turbine. He's written three books about computer simulations and now races online under the nom de drive "Toonces"

Has anybody ever seen or raced him online in any game before?

I have one of the books he wrote, a strategy guide for GPL. I've never seen Steve online, but the GPL strategy guide was co-written with Doug Arno, who I once talked to briefly on RSC. It was back when I was modeling a 914 for Racer - Doug races a 914 in real life - and he was on the Racer section of RSC and noticed my project.

Oh, I guess that's not quite what you were asking. Heh.

There is a Toonces registered on RSC, but he/she's from Brazil.
