How is this event Ran? Loren, Russ, and myself are looking forward to going. We will however Need some form of timing, any suggestions?

As for tech, the Website says "Standard SCCA saftey regulations" I assume that is autocross regs.

We're going tomorrow.

Jeff, we've timed autocrosses with cheap stopwatches from Walmart before. For hand-timing, it doesn't much matter what you use. They time to 1/100, but your hand accuracy is only good to about .05-.10, meaning that with the start and finish, you could be as much as 2/10ths off.

But, still, if I can't beat you by more than 2/10ths, what's the point?

(if you're confused, this post was actually made at about 11:30am... how it got a later time stamp we may never know!)

I'm so fast, I sometimes amaze myself.

(this is really just a test post to see if it comes out in the future again... that's weird!)
