Since this conversation seems to have centered on marshalling under the bridge, how about using a "spotter"? I know from experience that having someone say "Watch it under the bridge" or "Watch the donut" has helped me avoid several accidents.

Any info on the streaming times and format (computer screen/racing action or both) for the race weekend?
We are going for both stats and video. I have much more bandwidth than before after switching ISP's but still don't have as much as I would like. The fallback would be stats only as that is automatic and always on. Without a dedicated web cast person to babysit the video feed, if there are any problems the video will be cut. As I said the stats are always on. In fact I am getting calls from certain racers that have been watching this week wanting to know who is on the track and what class of car they are running. Keeping track of the competition I quess
. I plan on starting the web cast soon after opening on each day and leaving it on until close.BTW Steve - are you missing a racecar by chance???

Steve probably thought when he won his race, he had to leave his car like the Daytona 500. LOL

One thing that occurred to me was that during practice if someone could periodically clear the lap times it would help.

The only thing bad about Retro is admitting that you remember doing it originally.
