Other Events / Montana Challenge in Helena

Fastest autox course I have ever run (3rd gear for 80% of the course):

I DNF'ed twice due to my OEM brakes not being up to the task of dropping my speed enough :(

I am not a fan of higher speed autox courses -- more danger with little (or negative) reward.

SASC Events / Need timing equipment hauler for Saturday
« on: May 08, 2018, 12:18:47 PM »
So, both Jo and I are going to Fort Macleod on Saturday, which means that we don't have room for the timing equipment in our Miata.

We need a volunteer to pick up the equipment at our place, take it to Fort Macleod for Saturday, and return it to our place afterwards.

Technical Talk / Router and live scoring
« on: May 07, 2018, 12:32:01 PM »
So, our existing router and netbook and web server system appears to be less than fully reliable.  And, note, this appears to only apply to IPhone users.  Android users are happy campers as far as I can see.

This is an area where I am *completely* out of my depth and/or comfort zone.  So, if this is going to get better, I need some serious expertise and help from you guys.

What we have now:
Small web server app (written by me) running on the timing netbook.
Router running dd-wrt to support DNSMASQ service.  This allows you to browse to "scores.com" instead of "192.168.1.111" (actual value).

I do not have internet/cloud access from the netbook, so please don't suggest that unless you have some idea how the club can do this for a reasonable price and location availability.

So, where do we go?  \ just don't know how to go forward from here.

Sunday's scores:

Updated overall scores:

Both days scored (unofficially) by counting only the first 3 runs of Saturday and the first 3 runs of Sunday.  Note that if you ran on only one day, or in a different class, things aren't going to work for you.  Which explains all of the unknown drivers and cars (I only used Saturday's registration data).

Technical Talk / New stuff for the car this year
« on: January 31, 2018, 11:04:24 AM »
Spent the money and got some custom valved double adjustable Konis.

I'll need some help learning how to twiddle that extra dial (compression settings).  And probably spend all year figuring out a good setup for the car :(

Technical Talk / Replacement walkie-talkies
« on: November 27, 2017, 04:01:36 PM »
Please suggest any good units for the club to buy.  We need about 20 radios, so let's leave out the $200+ units if at all possible.

Technical Talk / Possible change/enhancement to MJTiming software
« on: November 26, 2017, 10:47:50 PM »
Sera mentioned something today that caught my attention.  As it stands with the scoring software, she can choose to run in Ladies or Open, but not both.  This does seem like a barrier that should be removed.

What if I add multiple (say 3?) group fields in registration as opposed to our current one.  That way, a single driver can belong to (and compete in) more than a single group.  As a side effect of this change, I would remove rookie as a separate hard-coded flag and just use one of the groups to designate rookie or veteran.

So, let's say 3 groups:

1st group is for street/street touring/CAM/whatever
2nd group would be for rookie or veteran (or even a 1-2 year rookie)
3rd group would allow designations such as Ladies or "Serious bzness" or "Corvette Club"


Sound like an acceptable enhancement?  Or does this just confuse our scoring system more than it already stands?
