We are really going to shoot for 6 runs. I hear what every one is saying, and believe me I don't want to be out in this weather for a long time more then anyone else. If for some reason something happens and it is just out of our hands 4 runs might happen. But we always want to shoot for 6 runs.
So reading between the lines, 4 runs will happen, 5 runs will be good, 6 runs is what we are going to shoot for.
There are alot of things we are going to have to deal with tomorrow. And we can not say for sure how things are going to go.John Kilgore...if winning was easy, losers would do it.

If we do 4 run groups we can always split 2 driver cars into separate groups so that it's all 1 driver cars and nobody has to melt their tires from driving, waiting for 7 cars to go, and driving again.
If each run group is ~20 people it should work out, if the 2 driver owners are willing to part with their cars.M. Cholewa

The only problem with running that many groups, is finding qualified people to work in the trailer...Nick StoneComment

Me, you, rod, josh, anyone else who wants to. It's not like it's hard. Just have the experienced ones in there first for when timing fubars itself.M. Cholewa

Today reminded me of ALSCCA of years gone by. Years that don't need to be repeated. Ya'll gotta work on your timing system or have a backup in place. With the temperatures we had today neither the workers or the drivers want reruns for timing issues.
What did work very excellent today was the run groups. I liked the short run groups. For me the hottest part of the day were the 2 driving sessions. The work sessions really were pretty tolerable with the canopies that were put up.Charles

One of the timing issues was caused by axware crashing, so you can't really have any backup in place for that. The resulting time lapse from it was a fair bit of reruns and waiting for the system itself to recover and repopulate.Originally posted by slowautoxr View Post
Another issue is one we've been having when it gets to a certain point in the day the sun just does not do well with our lights and sends off multiple trips (had this issue at start, literally ran through 30 trips in a 10 second period). There's nothing we can do about that except for hold start and move the timing lights around and then restart.
Yes, there are timing issues that are user generated, someone skips a car, or doesn't notice when times are being recorded incorrectly, but there's not much you can do on that point either.
Most of the physical problems with the timing system are simple to fix, but troubleshooting the timing isn't always as easy as "oh, the sun's in the way, swap them around".
If you'd like to do timing and scoring in the future feel free. There's a lot more going on in the trailer than just tapping keys on the computer and it's quite easy to get behind. If you think you have some solutions to our problems then please help us implement them.
Drivers don't have to take reruns either. I don't think anyone was complaining about getting more seat time (while people were complaining about themselves not getting the reruns)M. Cholewa

My observations:
Yes, there were problems in the first run group. However, after those faults were taken care of, the number of equipment failures were minimal or non-existent.
This was one of the fastest "Turn-Around" events I've ever attended regarding AL-SCCA.
Ladies, Gentlemen... You put on an event in extreme circumstances that rivals that of the National level guys.
I bow to you... Job well done.

Wonder if putting the light and reflectors in a tube (like a Pringles can) would mitigate the stray light signals??Originally posted by Cholewa View PostJohn Allen 52BS
