Anyone up for racing on the 10th

[Maxbashing]

Hi all,

As today was a total washout I was wondering if anyone who isn't going to the regionals is up for racing. I have spoken to Dave and he can't make it but I am happy to try and arrange something if people are up for it. I am going to see if I can get some software to time laps on my laptop or we could just use the old fashioned method.

If you are interested can you let me know, I have no issues with trying to get this sorted but don't really want to put in loads of effort if no one is around.

I am not sure if we should run on the grass or mud so if anyone has any preferences let me know and we'll go with that.

So stick a note on here or send me a PM. I think if we can get about 8 people or more it will be worth trying to get something sorted. I know it's not usual to run a race on a regional day but I guess there are a few of us who'd like a race and won't be going.

Good stuff mate, I will see if I can get the program we use copied I will have to make sure it's ok with the chap who wrote it for us, as with small number it is the best i have found to use.

I might be able to make it... but can't guarantee it atm.

I have timing software on my netbook but the battery only lasts for about an hour lol...silly little thing.

Thanks Dave that would Ace. I've downloaded something called rc laps free, at this point it's confusing the heck out of me.

J- brilliant, would be good to see you if you can make it. I will be bringing the van which has a power supply we could use for you notebook if need be.

Matt- it would be ace to see you there, several people will be off at regionals so might be a good week for your first racing.

Yer RC laps is ok, and more of a full blown system that will run a more typical type race meeting,great as long as you have a good number of racers that don't arrive late or leave early, also you have to trick the ability bit,sort xtals etc etc, I have it on one of our laptops and intend to use it at one of our club meets with 16+ people.

I don't think mine is up for racing. But will come down to meet you all and to at least get some practice.

Hi guys,

I popped to the track this evening to quench my desire for some racing. Was a bit muddy but was fun. Thought I'd share a couple of pics my Mrs took.

Being a good girl she has offered to come and do the lap timing/counting next week!
