RE: GOODBYE MATRIX
Albert,
Most of the problems you mention can be resolved by using Paul Herman's Warbird Racing Program to handle your matrix and scoring results (who earned high points, who had fastest time). We have had problems with the latter (scoring) when we did that by hand, even though we used Hank Kauffmann's forms for matrixing (for that, they are great).
But then, I expect the people running your races have both of those available, as they are a free download from the NMPRA web site.
