Welcome - WCICS - Western Canadian Indoor Championship Series 2016/2017

How do I pay for the race?

Do I need to bring cash to the track or can I pay with paypal before hand?

What is the address of the track?

--Lence
Lence,

There are several hotels just minutes away from the Track. Including a Best Western (Series sponsor and discounted rates) - check out the first post of the race thread for the code and other hotels near by.

I see your registration on WCICS.ca. That's perfect. We will want to reconfirm the details when you arrive at the track.

Race Fees - we are not setup for Paypal. Cash to the track is best.

Address - Event is held at the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC), 910 McGill Rd Kamloops. Come through the main entrance. Head for the indoor running track. we will be setup on the center basket ball court in the middle of the running track.

Find us at the registration table and we will get you sorted from there.

Thanks,

Many thanks. What time does the track open-up on Friday for practice, and what time to you think that we will be done on Sunday?

Shooting for doors open around 3pm. The facility is open to the general public, so if you happen to arrive sooner, no need to sit in the car waiting. wander in.

Current entries should have us wrapped up by 3pm on Sunday.

Any chance the standings could be updated to include the Regina WCICS race?

Luke's the one that updates them, and he's in the middle of a 3 week long RC dream trip, New York, the Canadian Nats, Denver, then Calgary WCICS. So we'll just have to be patient.

Not quite. But he's probably catching up on actual work at the moment. Because of the different software used in Moose Jaw the program either has to be re written in some ways or the points have to be entered manually. Lots of work, doesn't matter how you look at it.

I am working on it... as Josh pointed out I have been away for a couple weeks, but more importantly as Danny pointed out I've been trying to get caught up with my real work.

Also, it's taken a lot longer because the club had to use RCSP2 to avoid missed laps and that totally messed with all the scripts and stuff I have built.

Fortunately I was just able to strip out some of the data directly from the database on the scoring computer and am going to work on doing something fancy with it now and hopefully have points up within a year or two.

Alright, so I was able to dig out the race data from deep within the RCSP database, convert it into a usable format and write a bunch of scripts to parse it.

I'm somewhat confident in the data, but please review and PM me if you notice anything wrong.

Now that the season is over, I just wanted to give a shout out to Josh Carter and the WCICS exec and reps. All of you pour your time and effort into the series and we, the racers get to enjoy what you've created. I just wanted you to know that we appreciate all that you do!

Wow, thanks guys, we all truly appreciate that!


It's been a long 7 years, lots of work, and it's pretty rare that anyone says something like that, so it means a lot.


Thank you!


And a big thanks back to CarCar! I know with the economy in Calgary it's been a big struggle this year, but you guys still put on the best Calgary race in a long time! And I know with Kerry at the helm, Jim building great tracks, and a new leadership team, it will only get better!
