I cannot talk about other programs but what happens when most clubs get Alycat there turn everything on in the setup. You can have basic lapscoring and you can go as far as you wish. But like I said most clubs turn everything on and then get confused and screw up. I have noticed in the new version 8.4 you can only access certain areas of the program to suit your level on knowledge and experience. You have to remember that look at todays programs and computer and say 5 years ago. Certain programs suited certain versions of windows just depends on what formate the program was built on. As I have lead to believe its the same with any lapscoring program if you use an old program then it should be kept in the old operating system and vise a versa. Steve Berges runs Slyfox very well and I hope I do the same with Alycat we are up to date with all parts of the program and have the best of all hardware and software.
I have seen meeting destroyed in both programs with clubs that weren't ready or had old systems, don't get me wrong it may be fine for club racing and that is well and good .
With the introduction of transponder and lapscoring programs it is easy to run a club compared to say ten or fifteen years ago . Most clubs in Sydney have some sort of system or program but if a club goes out and runs something that there don't know then you are asking for trouble there should start of with a basic program and build up other wise you end up crashing like you do in normal racing with putting a to powerful motor in a car that you can't control. I would hate to think of how many version of Alycat are a round and to that much Slyfox that were superseded because of newer versions of windows and newer computers.

I don't know what happened this weekend and I thank Bod for that, he and his club sorted out and did a great job to recover and processed with the meeting like he does with all the meeting I have enjoyed racing with him and will in the future. I know that MM is only trying help to come up with some formate to help stop it happening regardless of the hecklers and of what program is being used. It will happen things go wrong, we as race organizer try to get it right but sometimes its not the case.

I've shot my mouth off enough sorry for the bad grammar and spelling. See you at the track next time.
