Just to let you know that the Kambah club did buy a new laptop for the summer nats event. It was only used for electric, (experiencing problems) however the old computer was used for gas and they experienced no difficulties. I think the problems occurred because we received in excess of 140 entries! In regard to software, we have never experienced any problems in the past and it was our understanding that the new software has more bugs. I know that Eastern Creek use the new software and have had the odd hiccup!

You need to understand that running a big meet like this is very difficult and it is inevitable that hiccups will occur. Until you have been involved in running one you really shouldn't pass comment. You should be praising the few in Australia who make it possible for these events to occur!

just a note: EC has had only 1 glitch where 1 car finished a final early. EC uses SlyFox and it has been very reliable.

Allycrash let the Kambah and Tamworth clubs down in the past, both clubs have otherwise always ran very good meetings. Put SlyFox on the same pc's used on the weekend and i bet the same issues would not occur.
