Glad to have you onboard Tom.

When's the last time I didn't show up for a race?

If we use the practice results as a seed into the heats for the first real race day, then will we still do a resort after round two of qualifying on that first real race day (as per usual)?

Definately! Since this practice day is not an official race day, it should count for nothing other than to give us a general idea as to who might want to race with whom.

I propose that we seed people on the first race day according to their finishing position on the practice day, and for all racers that didn't attend the practice day, they get seeded randomly throughout all the heats.

BTW, let's hope this holds true:

I hope it's good; our sysadmin has blocked access to that page because she feels it's not work related.

Hmmm. Maybe I should have previewed that last post of mine. . .

Oh, I just meant that I'm glad you have decided to come out on practice day. I thought you had planned to skip it.

Sounds good about the seeding/resorting combo; that's what I was thinking would be best as well.

The weather is supposed to be hot and sunny all weekend.

Cool, thanks for the offer Chris.

The batteries should arrive on Friday so hopefully you'll be good. If not then I can lend you a pack or two of 2400s to get you through the day.

I still don't like the idea of a full race day this weeked but oh well, i might get a heat or 2 in if i am lucky.

Its not a "race day" it is practice but we will be timing so the new ppl can understand how we run, so we can schedule our days better, and so everyones not on track at once and also so you can practice with ppl at ur skill lvl... I personally am lookign forward to all of it

i mean as long as u get to drive ur car round the track lol..

I guess your cars are all setup and ready to run? My damn nitro is still in pieces and waiting for servos from ebay. Speaking for myself, i was hoping to get some help getting put together that day.

But it's all good......big, wide tracks.

there will be just as much help available regardless of the practice format

If its just the servo's you need to put in that shouldn't take long at all.... its gonna be pretty laid back anyhow.... just hope I can make it out.... have to work overtime Saturday which hopefully doesn't run into Sunday...

SgRddY · « **Reply #42 on:** April 20, 2006, 06:46:28 PM »

You better make it out. Even if you work into the early AM of sunday, you still need to be out man. Think about NITRO. Besides, it's better to drive half at sleep or HI.

Unfortunately its up to her Royal Majesty if this job I'm on NEEDs to get done. I'm hoping we get 'er finished off SaturDAY as I'd like to go to Western Speedway Saturday night. If not I'm hoping at least I don't have to work Sunday......
