A new I-Lap track timing system was purchased yesterday. They will be learning the hardware and new race software and races at this point look like they will begin sometime in March 2007. The date TBA.
Free race night. Racing to begin at 6:30pm this Wednesday. We need to be done by 8:30pm, so the program will be tailored to fit the time slot of two hours. Most likely we'll run two qualifiers and one main race for two classes.
Not sure how many might show up but I think we should keep the total racer count to 12 people total, which would be two classes total for the evening. 6 people in the first race and 6 people in a second race.
Free practice to begin at 4pm. No charges for racing. Sign up to begin at 5:45 PM, and as I mentioned will be capped at 12 people total.
If you show up earlier in the day practice fee still applies.
Race what you brung.
I need to run a few of these se we can work the bugs out of everything. So please don't be over critical of the evening if it doesn't go smooth.....
This coming Sunday we'll hold another race. The purpose of the race is to do some dry runs to work any kinks out of the racing program.
This coming Sunday, March 18th. Track opens at 11am. Sign in will be at 1:30-2pm, racing to begin at 2:30pm.
This time around we need to keep each race at five people. The version of Alycat I'm using will only support 5 cars at time. I'm running the demo software right now.
Classes:
1/14th Touring Car
1/18th On Road
1/18th Off Road
Novice (run any vehicle)
Practice and racing will be at no cost...yes FREE! Just for this Sunday's race day only.
We'll try to run 3 qualifiers and 1 main race. Time possibly being an issue depending on how many people show up. So we may need to go to a 2 qualifier setup.
Now I'm assuming we'll have more people than we did last night. So, I'm guessing the evening wil probably go into about the 7PM area....
Also as a side-note, I'd like to set a firm time for the actual schedule and try to adhere to a specific amount of time in between each race and each class. This would be for us to practice keeping a race day moving along and on schedule.
