I like the exclamation marks... I must admit, I was a bit unoriginal so far and used an 'o' for
the front peg and an 'x' for the back peg. I'm on the wrong machine right now but at the moment my
boards look something like

30----<-----+-----<-----+-----<-----1--+  Dealer
|.....|.....|.....|.....|o...x|.....| .| *macro1970
|.....|.....|.....|.....|.....|.....| .|   10
31---->-----+----->-----+----->----60--+

with the two extra holes (and the labels in the four corners) showing whether you're on the first
or second lap around. A 60 x 2 board is 72 characters wide (which is probably pushing some e-mail
clients), but I'm a bit worried about using the 30x2 board, either way it's done, someone will say
its upside down...

Originally I had two of these joined together for a two player game, with both "last streets" in
the middle thinking it'd show the race better - but it's too busy to tell what's going on, maybe I
ought to drop the vertical bars too.
