We're on the air (8:45 AM Friday PST). Unfortunately, we'll only have one webcam view at a time. I'll have to switch between the track view and race monitor view today.
Technical problem with Adobe Flash and Ustream on my other laptop.

thank you

[68Caddy]

Gary
I think we need you need to give Keith a break, he has been running around talking picture and making sure that the web cast is working and on top of it racing?
How much more can any one do?
This Check Point Cup was way intense, more like a old Roman Gladiator thing.
Thanks to all of the guys who made it happen and I'm ready for some time of.

Thanks Gary, just call me Keith. "Mr." is much too formal here.

I was unable to post the race results online during some of the races (Can Am, F1) since I was either racing, race directing or taking photos. I was very disappointed in the webcast as far as not having the other webcam (race monitor) working. I discovered a recent software change (adobe flash) which was no longer compatible with Ustream and this caused the glitch. I am determined to make sure the 2012 Checkpoint Cup webcast is far superior to this year's webcast.

I'm currently working on the race/chassis photo report for the Checkpoint Cup. I have over 770 photos and some video clips to go thru (editing, modifying, etc.) before posting the report on the Phanfare website as well as a link here on Slotblog. I probably won't be able to post the final report until late Tuesday or Wednesday, but hopefully the wait will be worth it.

Note: for those who would like to be added to an automated email notice when I post the race reports on Phanfare, please send me a PM here on Slotblog or an email (keithtanaka@hotmail.com) and I'll add your name to the automated list. The instant I post the race report, everyone on the list will receive an email notice and link to the Phanfare race report.
