The only thing that could make the program better would be to have a way to put the start time for the next day in. That way we would know about what time our race was up in the morning without having to add up the race times.
The scheduling program was way better than what they had and worked great once the first race of the day started.

One suggestion is to shrink the width of the window displaying the schedule. Fully 25% of the width of the TV screen was "dead space" (just empty space). If the schedule window was narrower, either more of the web cams, or preferrably, scoring and timing information could be shown. The web cams displayed on the in room TV channel are almost worthless, since the frame rate is low, resulting in nothing but blurs when cars go by. You can't tell which cars are which. I think that the scoring/timing info would be more worthwhile.
Oh, and what a relief that the fire alarms didn't go off this year. I think my headache from last year's episodes while on the drivers stand are finally gone.

That picture explains a lot of things I have always wondered,
First, Eli does use "the force" to drive.
Second, Smyka has amazing taste in socks. I would have thought getting marred would have take care of that pesky dressing his self problem?
Notice the younger guys trash talk before the event and the Masters guys trash talk after the event?

That wasn't Smyka... It was the wicked witch of the west and she put a spell on Eli.
Next time use a squirt gun on the witch before the main.

Well I had a great time racing all week. It was nice to meet some new friends, and say hi to some from the past.
Thanks to Mr. Bill and company that put on a great show. I thought overall the race was run really well.
Thanks to Nick for the borrowed 13.5 power, Dumper, "Gentleman Mitch", Nick, and John for all the set-up tips and tricks. Thanks to whoever gave me the red center spring as there was not one available in the store.
I have a few things that I would like to see changed for next year.
1. If registered for multiple classes, either: A. Let us have a t-shirt for each class, or B. Reduce the entry fee accordingly.
2. Door prizes. I would like to see this be put on as little more of a presentation. Maybe during the concourse/dinner event drawings could be made and announced.
Just a thought, but again, great job to all who made the race happen. Lots of close racing this year.

...Racing is NOT about winning and losing (especially if you're not getting paid to do it). it's about the "experience" of attempting to win or lose. Only one person is going to be thee winner, so the other hundreds need to figure out how to make the experience a good time (and I feel 99 out of 100 do). It's a hobby, it's what you want it to be. I like the experiences and the storys. And MAN did we get some good ones. Like the crazy lady with the neck tattoos at White Castle. Watching our man Evan snap 6 t-bars and tie his old record, and the excellent teasing that will go on for MONTHS... Or watching the poor TSA guy dig through a week of old socks to get to the power supply in my bag...
I couldn't agree more, this SHOULD be fun. It's easy to lose sight of that. Whenever I get mad about a race, I do my best to take a step back and remind myself why I do this.
