OK GUYS: I HAVE TOSSED IT AROUND ABOUT THE RACE IN JANUARY. DON THINKS WE NEED TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING. THIS WILL BE A DIFFERENT CLUB AND DIFFERENT LOCATION. I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SOME NEW RULES. FOOLED YOU. THE NEW RULES WILL BE ABOUT THE WEATHER.

LETS GO AHEAD AND SCHEDULE THE RACE. IF THE WEATHER LOOKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE BAD OR MISERABLY COLD, WE WILL CANCEL 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RACE. IF THE TEMP IS GOING TO BE BELOW 50 FOR THE HIGH, RAIN IS EXPECTED, OR HIGH WINDS, WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO CALL IT OFF TILL ANOTHER ATTEMPT IN FEB.

ONE THING WE WILL NEED IS TO PRE-REGISTER. DON WILL BE SETTING UP THE WEB FOR THAT. IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT COMING, GO AHEAD AND REGISTER. WE WILL HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO CONTACT EVERYONE IF IT IS CANCELLED.

AGAIN THIS WILL BE CLUB 40 AND 424. WE GOT A SLOW START AT THE FIRETOWER RACE AND NEED TO GET STARTED SOONER. IF WE DON'T HAVE MORE THAN 9 CLUB 40 GUYS, THEN WE NEED TO ADD Q-25 QUICKY.

SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED.
JAMES

Status: offline 		James,

We will have more for Club 40 this time. I should be able to race in Club 40 as I have figured out how the lap counters can manage the heat cards. I can teach someone how to input the heat results pretty quickly. Now that I have real race data, I can set up mock races for people to practice with without having to set up an entire race.

I designed a simplified database for races and the data needed for Paul Herman's program. Attached is a screen shot of the simplified database. Any computer guys out there that want to get the database an mess with it can. It is in Access 2000 format so most anybody with Office can play with it. I'm going to do a quick .NET web app this week.

It will be a real quick implementation. Something to use for this contest, and maybe others if I can make it generic enough and still get it done this week.

Check your Private Messages. Thanks.

Go to Pre-Registration Web App to grab the database file and keep up with my progress and/or collaborate with me.

Whatever Dave!
It was blowin and raining too. After my last heat and the race was called my fingers were nearly too numb to take my planes apart to load into the truck. It was pretty dang cold and I live in the mountains. The guys in SC don't know what frost is.

Status: offline 		In SC we had our first hard frost of the year on Monday, this week. Today’s forecast mid-50’s, sunny and winds from the west at 6-8. A little cool for this time of year but good racing weather. Remember, most of us in SC moved from the North but we remember all about cold and snow.

Status: offline 		James - I like your thinking about this Jan 19 race. It makes sense to plan the race, then call it off if the weather will be bad. I've marked Jan 19th on my calendar. We may have a few more join in the fun from our club, the Caldwell Aero Modelers (CAM). If it all works out they will join in with club-40 planes. Thanks again for organizing this . . . Seth

Would you please refresh my memory as to exactly where this race is? Also, where is the pre-registration site you mentioned?

Thanks

Status: offline 		The Pre-registration web site is now online at Registration for Honea Path, SC Race on 1-19-2008.

This is a temporary page, but it is tied into my new Contest Calendar database. If you register and your name doesn't show up, please email or PM me.

If you make a mistake, I should have the ability to edit sometime next week.

Your information is hidden from internet users, other than your name and location. However, the Contest Director can retrieve all of the information.
