I'm only going to be able to be online for a few moments right now, but wanted to post that there were 60 entries for Can-Am.

We've run the five 12-man round robins to seed two Semis which will fill the Main.

Results as soon as I can get them and get access to post them.

Total entries at the 2011 R4/4 was 210.

Am pulling for the local driver Paul Martin. He is one tuff competitor. How is he doing?

Jethro,

You forgot to mention just how much of a 'nice guy' Paul is. I have had the pleasure of racing against him. Super guy!

He did not make it to the final race in Can-Am.

Jethro -

I raced against Paul Sat. night, in the winged outlaw class. He was trying out a new motor, which was way faster than the rest of the field. But just out of the donut, he had a really bad wreck, came of the track hit the wall, and ended up under the track (nasty under there); a kid had to dig it out of there. Any way I think he lost about twenty laps, before he could fix it, but it wasn't as fast as before.

I enjoy racing with Paul and he always has helpful suggestions for me.

When I got back into slots this year I saw Paul's name in some results. I had to ask, is that Paul Martin the Paul Martin I know? LOL! Not only is Paul a great guy, he's saved my life hundreds of times over the years.. I've put more trust in his products then any other over the years, and they have never failed me once. That's with his brake systems on my racing karts.

Great job with the slots, Paul!

I'm just trying to post the results in HTML and it isn't working very well.

 
Other than a HUGE whitespace at the top it looks good to me.

I'll play with it a little more to see if I can't get it to show like I want. Kinda busy at work today...

Well, pasting this info over as images is going to be easier to format, so that's what I'll do later tonight. I'll leave the preceding post up until I re-do it.

Mike, you've still got to get the F1 results posted, right?

Yep. But not as quickly as thought. Seems there was some type of glitch and the files did not generate. We are not sure yet if it was operator error or something else. Anyway the rebuilding from the history file is going to be tedious.

I love that system.

I like how it gives "credit" for going the farthest (granted a bit of a estimate) in a particular heat and a particular color.

FWIW, I added up the totals of the top six guys, using ten sectors as equaling a lap, and they total dead on, or one sector on the high side, which makes sense, since in theory, eleven sectors really equal the lap.

Who knows but probably not.

With the smaller amount of entries and the Retro East move up system, it's not as necessary.
