I didn't even notice it in Mission Viejo, but our employees did in the warehouse. Having ridden through a few since '49, guess a little 5.8 isn't noticable to me anymore :sleepy: .

While Ashley's chest is obviously more interesting, to get back to the topic for a sec: If I recall at the time the classes were formed, the software we were using allowed only 3 characters for class names and we decided SK was a good abreviation for S toc K and and it didn't conflict with other exi...

Re: El Toro Results?

It will take quite some time to cull the one day championship results from the two day divisional results. We have to separate the days, remove the out-of-towners, move people to correct classes, etc. Jay is working on that. A preliminary version of the Divisional results is here: http://members.qui...

Re: Cal Club Timing

Another issue with the latest version of the software is that when you do a Reset Finish on the timer, it no longer resets the computer like it's supposed to so the extra worker in SD in timing might make sense until that's fixed.

Re: Cal Club Timing

Yes, I'm behind a couple of updates on the software. That may have contributed to the issues we had at the Divisional as SD has the latest update and didn't have the same problems (they were not error free, but the errors were minor). This was the first time we ever used the software in 2 day event ...

Re: Divisional Results from San Diego are up!

That is an SD issue... We get that tire turd pick up every time we run there, typically it is much worse the second day. I use to think it was all the Hoosier turds wanting to become a Kumho. But know I think it is all the ST tires that want to be a race tire. Either way, it makes the car loose. Th...

Re: Cal Club Divisional in July 18-20

OMG, I just looked at the event entries out of curiosity. We're at 365!!!!!!!!!!. :o

SD has just under 200. Nice easy going atmosphere......

We're going to be working our butts off :shock:

That's 1095 runs a day or 9 hours of running if we can average a car every 30 seconds.

Shooting or blowing up the cars in front of you just creates debris that you have to drive around.
