Ken Anderson Wow.... Thanks Keith!! I appreciate your going out of your way and posting the "Westside Racers" results for us.

Effective today we'll begin enforcing the scheduled times for racing.

Saturdays.... (oval)
sign-up begins at 11:30 and we'll start the first heat at 12:30 sharp!

Saturday evenings.... (stadium)
sign-up begins at 5:30 and we'll start the first heat at 6:30 sharp!

Sundays.... (on-road)
sign-up begins at 12:00 and we'll start the first heat at 1:00 sharp!

After first round, we'll take a 30 minute break before the second round begins. The race clock will be set at 3 minutes between races. We will grant a one minute grace if asked for the first few weeks only. If your not ready when your race starts, you will still be allowed to join in your race, as long as it doesn't distract the other driver's.

Marshaling is required after your race is over! If your not there when the race begins, one lap will be deducted from your best qualifier prior to setting up the mains.

We will also be strictly enforcing our club rules!!! i.e.: swearing, drinking, stealing and so forth. Copies of the rules will be available at the track.

I apologize for having to make this post but I've been getting lots of complaints from parents and racers as well. Please remember this club is for everyone's enjoyment, and it takes everyone's help and participation to keep it that way.

Also, before I forget...
We'll be installing new florescent lighting directly over the tables, and adding more lighting over the track as well. The soda machine is now stocked and the price's were dropped to 75 cents vs last years 95 cents. All intentions are to have everything completed before this weekends races.

Hope to see you this weekend!
John

Brian Jackson - 9th D-Main

I'll have points done later.

I think that we should look at a precent based results of the east vs. west. We all know there are more east siders then west in this state so it would reflect the outcome better.

Heck, you'll see me tuesday night. After my splendid performance sunday, I'll be running laps from now till the end of november every chance I get. Hopefully by then I can complete one lap without banging a board....:rolleyes:

And where the heck are the 1/12th scalers? Guess I should've saw this one coming... 'cough' rally 'cough'..... oh well.

later.....

exactly bill, I have learned a lesson this weekend too. Since I am trying to learn this carpet stuff, I should'nt try to learn 2 cars at once. So effective immediately I am only going to run touring car until some more 12th scale cars come out of the woodwork. I guess 12th scale just won't go in grand rapids. It's kind of sad I think grand rapids used to be the capital of 12th scale in the midwest at one time. Even holding a 12th scale world championships at one time, I guess it is a touring car world now:cry:

Hey, I thought Walter was Waaaaay North Eeh??

Guess next weekend I'll just have to run back marker alone for Brown. Hopefully Eric races. Seems him and I are the only holdouts.... kinda scary:eek:.

Now, what the heck did I do with that sedan of mine......:eek:.

Hummmmm..... and we wonder why 1/12th scale dissapears. How many weeks into the indoor season are we now? Seems to me that "everybody's" giving up a little to soon.

justathoughtthatsall

I thought 1/12th scale was manditory in GR?

Seems nothing is. But I'm hopefull that this will change this weekend. Or I should say, I'm hopefull that we will start on time and that we'll start races regardless if every driver is ready for a race 45 @#*&!# minutes after their last one!

Grrr......:mad:

For those of you who might be running a Rev.2/Rev.3 I gave Dave Walton my setup. You can snag it from him if you want. :)

If this is to be enforced, I think we are in major need of some painting in the bathrooms.

BTW, did you think about my little proposition...and for all you dirty minded individuals, it's nothing like that, it's club stuff...geez :rolleyes:

I never even thought about those bathrooms! I guess we could cover them with something until we get the OK to throw some paint in there? It's a shame too because there's actually four different sets of bathrooms with about a total of 40 stalls and their all painted up with that expensive graffiti!

They're one of the things I've always liked about that place. Of course, in dayz past I was abit "off" when using those fine facilities. Gotta love Holiday Work parties.......

Bill.... was a bit off???? I'm forced to give that statement some thought! hehe

There is another men's bathroom next to the one most everbody uses that has un-graffitied walls.

Hey John you did'nt have to change your location. You have earned it for one week at least. If I could make one suggestion to your schedule. You guys like to reshuffle after 2 rounds of qualifying. I think that, that would be a better time to have a 30 min. break as opposed to after the first round.


Just another 2 cents.:rolleyes:

Ken, I thought of doing that but it only takes a few minutes to re-sort WHEN autoscore is working properly. BTW: I'm downloading the newest-newest version as I type. (7.29.4) This version is supposed to be bug free, just like the last four or five versions were!!! Guess we'll see.

I just thought of that because i have been to a few other places that do that and the race day seems to flow nice that way. You get through 2 rounds of quals pretty quick and then give everybody that time to tweak and try and make the A and then the last round of qualifiers and the mains. But it is your show Johnny just run it tight and I will be happy.

Well hey now, I'm not opposed to trying something different. I'll give you guy's the option when we're doing sign-ups this weekend.

Well I am not sure if I can make it sunday but i am going to try.:cry:

:wave: :thumbsup:

No it's just that we only have 3 guys to split on call duty with which means that I have to do it every 3rd week I have been there for 2 weeks now so this is the third week. And trust me losses motivate me more than wins if I was'nt on call I would be practicing twice this week also.:devil:

Can I make a suggestion Johnny Boy? How about, no sign up sheet- no entry into the computer? That kind of sucked last week when I thought I had everybody in the computer and then had people yelling across the track their sign up info and had to redo everything FOUR times. And FILL OUT ONE SHEET FOR EACH CLASS YOU RUN!!! Just a thought.

And as for 12th scale- as long as I'm there to race, I'll be running 12th scale. Anybody for running 19 turn 12th scale this week?

I can barrly make 5 min. in stock.

So far, that's been the way things have been going for Saturday, but Stadium usually starts around 7-7:30 instead of 6:30. And oval would have started on time for the past three weekends but they have been on a streak of having some sort of computer problem at the first race every week. I don't know why Sunday has been so far behind??:confused:

I'll be installing the newest, newest version this evening. It's supposed to be bug free just like the other three or four!!

Hey John, did you get my email?? I tried sending you one, but it kept sending it back saying your email address didn't exist. If not, don't forget to bring the romex and could I borrow your digital camera tonight????

But yes, I'll bring the romex and the camera. Why do you need the camera anyway, Do ya have another date with that same girl from the circus?

I haven't been holding up my end of the bargain on mandatory 12th scale racing so far (or any racing!)...but I'll be there in a few weeks (Wife says I HAVE to go to the Caribbean next week...) w/ 12th scale!!! I'll be thinking of you all next week when I'm complaining about the 85 degree heat and all teh food on the cruise ship...

Yeah I used the right email address, it must be something with our server here at work or something, who knows. No that chick left town with the gorilla from the track you were boinking on Saturday. :p I need it for some pics of a car that I am possibly selling to someone on here. I have my own disk too, so no need to bring one. Thanks again.

And Denney, since John is taking your place, I'll take your 1/12th scale car's place, that way you have something to race while we are in the Carribean! :cool:
