	I never got into race games; I think I just naturally tend to 
games where reaction speed isn't all that im****tant a factor.  

	A level depending entirely on luck seems like a mistake on most 
any level.  If there's no, well, strategy you can apply to at least 
consistently better your odds then it's mostly a little pause while the 
more competitive players get upset when they lose through no fault of 
their own.  (You can't remove chance altogether -- Civilization III 
would be less compelling if every now and then the utterly outmatched 
never beat the superior force -- but if that were more than a rare 
occasion the game would be pointless.)
