Pretty fun, I played it this weekend. Basically, you race the HL2SP airboats on some custom maps against other players. Right now, it's very basic, but here's what they have planned:
<!--QuoteBegin--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Here are things that are planned for Source Racer, so no need to suggest them.
1. Boring Mechanics
Player names appear above other airboats on a client command.
2. Map Entites
Power up - gives a random powerup weapon as described below. The player will be allowed to store up to 2 weapons at once.
3. Visual
Passenger models- Gman, alyx, gordon, combine, scientists, etc.
Flags on vehicles- An antenna style flag with a customizable picture that other players can use to identify you.
4. Powerups
laser guided rocket - Like in singleplayer.
mine - Like in singleplayer.
area weapon - Pushes all other airboats away from you.
jump - Allows an airboat to jump once.
nitro - Speed boost, like the map entities.
ghost - Player is invisible and not affected by speed boosts/dampeners for a period of time.
goober - Shoot goo at other players to impair their vision.
tag weapon - "Pass the bomb". When you're tagged you have 10 seconds to pass the bomb before it blows up. If you pass it, then the next person has 10 seconds to get rid of it, etc.
grappling hook - This will probably be a permanent weapon on all racers. Can grab walls, objects and even other players.
5. Other
zippy on well timed start
6. Sound
light countdown
new lap
finish
change in position
zippy
powerup
finish timer
horns for player (meep meep for the gman) <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Yes, because Microsoft makes and maintains IRC, and I maintain it as well.
Oh wait, we don't.

Monse, +r is a mode turned on by the IRC operators, to protect against the porn bot attacks we kept on getting since they never used registered accounts, geeesh <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Get help, Monse. It's not too late.
OMG. Wildcat BBS owned back in the day. I loved that one.
Almost as cool as the BBS package that did IPX/SPX network emulation over the modem so you could play 4 player LAN games of DOOM 2 and WarCraft 2 at ungodly slow speeds. :D
KALI!
Egads... the memories... Playing Decent 2, Retailiator, Mechwarrior 2... Gawd...
I remember wildcat too, our local computer club had a BBS set up. I got my first ever *cough* game from there. It was SimCopter. It was split up into 40 or so 700kb parts. A few were missing so it wasn't quite right.
--Scythe--
I'll download it tomarrow... I'm tired.
