1) Get the friggin kids off the damn bucket! I ate that downhill gulley twice in a row while some little dude has his finger up his nose standing by the bucket. Luckily that was during a qualifier so there was no punishment dealt.

2) 5 minute quals and 6 mintue mains are for minis.

Could we really have saved that much time cutting the racing times down? I, personally, feel I do better in an 8 minute race rather then 6 and was disappointed to see the race times after the first few heats.

If we had actually started at noon, things would've gotten done at the same time as they did, even with longer race times.

3) John B needs an AMP/Jlap PC lesson from Mark......

1. Racers have complained about some of the adults that corner marshall too. Basically, in a no win situation like corner marshalls, where nobody is happy, your best chance is to not use them.

2. 5 minute quals, 7 minute A-Mains, 6 Minute B-mains, and 5 Minute C-mains. We ran 3 qualifing rounds of 15 heats, and I think 14 mains in 9 hours. John did each qualifing round in 2 hours like clockwork, the mains took an extra hour for track prep and raffle and longer A-mains. John did an exceptional race program and should be commended for it.

Actually, the race program started at 12:03, 3 minutes late if you really want to be picky.

last minute race entries prevented us from starting the race program early. Trust me I will never try to start the race program early again.

3. Once again, John did an exceptional job with the race program. I would be happy to entertain watching anybody else try to use the RC Scoring Pro software, its not as easy as it looks.
