They stand corrected...

BTW Wosca scoring for the event is up here:

Just for fun, they have no real meaning for this event.

Hey Marsh I was just curious about the time display. When I come into the stop box is that the total time or is it raw time? I ask this because some of my previous runs I would come in and see a 36.xxx and I knew that I had hit a cone but on my last run I am all most certian that it was clean and the board said 35.6xx. I was just wondering thats all.

I think it depends where you hit a cone. If it was before the slalom I think it got counted.

The time instantly updates as soon as the timer hits the key for the penalty. The display then shows the time as of the instant you break the stop beam. If he manages to hit the key before you come into the stop box, then the penalty is included. If he hits the key after you break the beam then it is not included in the display. So like Dave said, if it was late in the course the timer probably didn't get it in time. It is complicated by the 2 cars. Once the second car has started adding a penalty requires cursering up to your car and adding the correct penalty, or sometimes removing it from the other car because he hit the key just as the second car left and got the wrong one. The timers were cursing that slalom cone every run.

I am looking at the fastest times in C1 but they do not seems to actually be the fastest.

Some others seems to be wrong also.

I agree. If I look at the Competitors' Run Times (http://www.soloontario.com/solo2/2003/event4-times.htm) my listed fastest run is not my fastest run, its my second fastest run.

If I look at the Event #4 Unofficial Times (http://www.soloontario.com/solo2/2003/pdfs/Event4.pdf) link, my FTD is shown correctly.

Of course, I'm still dead last in class either way (at least until that A2 stock Miata gets reclassified). :rolleyes:

The results have been updated.

Fastest times fixed, a vehicle reclassed and competitor updates done.

Holy crap Wes, where do you get the time to so all of this?

Great job!!

[tanney]

I don't!

I get home Sunday evening, after being away racing all weekend, throw on the F1 race and work on results (much to the annoyance of my wife). Then spend Monday evening going through things and updating while watching the CART or NASCAR race (totally to the annoyance of my wife). I usually have at least one week night meeting related to Solo 1, Solo 2, or club activities, I am TRYING to build a car, renovate and maintain a house.

Thankfully my wife is very understanding!

Now you know why I get snippy at some of the comments that get posted on the message forum!

Wes,
I think I speak for us all when I say that I REALLY appreciate the speediness with which you have results/corrections posted.

[soloZ]

Yes Wes you are a really good person to donate so much of your time for the rest of us, Thanks. Oh and I still think my last run was clean and my bake up time sucks now. But I guess I can't do anything about that now can I.

[AlienDNA]

I concur, Wes. Your time is especially appreciated by us newbies. It's people like you that keep us coming back for more and encourage us to get more involved. Thanks again!
