ok folks

about 1 1/2 weeks to go till race entry dead line.

GET THEM IN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Chris Wittrig]

Putting my entry together. Will be happy to see all you guys. It's pretty much been a year now. Don said he's waiting on points from a club and once he gets them to me the points will be published on the site I promise. We had the same problem last year and really need the clubs to be very diligent providing the results as quickly after the race as possible.

If this is good enough, can I expect cookies to be there?

 

[Don Ferrette]

As posted also on the Dock, I have been getting hammered by people over this points thing and which club is causing the delay. I have held off saying hoping they can find the lost information as it will have a great impact on the standings and we may have to toss that race out completely if the info cannot be retrieved. But with that being said the one thing that bothers me is some of the posts/comments made here and elsewhere seeming like it's the end of the frikkin' world if the points aren't known. Is this all that matters? I stopped chasing points a while ago as I have nothing to prove to anyone and prefer focusing on having FUN at the races and hanging out with my FRIENDS. Sure I still like to win and be competitive whenever I have a boat on the pond but this hobby has become much more enjoyable for me focusing on having a good time first and winning second. Think about it, in reality we're talking about what maybe 12 total minutes of actual run time per boat over the course of an entire race weekend? Sorry for the long winded post but seriously we are talking about toy boats here, it's time to put this into proper perspective.........

 

[Steve Sutton]

Guys,

Just so everyone knows what is going on and to get everyone off Don's back about the points not being updated and posted I will explain what has seemed to happen. Yes we the Delmarva Club are the club who has not turned in the points to Don as of today. We had an unexpected occurance at the D12 points race when our normal individual who keeps the entries and scoring could not make the race at the last moment due to work requirements. Another member stepped up to help us out with the entries input to develop the racing rounds as well as to keep track of the points for each round in his laptop computer. We have finally just figured out the monetary end of how much goes back to the district for this event thru the mailed in entry forms but still cannot get the points situation figured out due to a problem that has occured with the laptop computer. We are hoping the information might still be on the flash drive unit and that we can get the points information from there but so far we have not been successful. On behalf of the club I apologize for the inconvience this has brought about, and this effects myself as I would be in the hunt for a D12 jacket with the success I have had in one class this year with a 1st place at the Delmarva Race and a 2nd Place at the Capitol Race but if we cannot obtain the information we may not be able to count the Delmarva Race in the D12 Series. Anyways I wanted to clear the air and ask everyone to get off Don's back because he has been doing his job wearing my rear end out trying to get the points information. Due to a computer glitch we might not be able to get the information, I hope to know more over the next two days. Again Sorry to all particapants for this problem that has occurred.

 

[Matt Schumacher]

I sent in my form today, so you should get it in a few days. I'm looking forward to running a bot this time!

[Matt Schumacher]

Matt

you want the info on the entries like last time?

Carl

Yes please, if you don't mind. I hope to have a demo ready by the race (July was a busy month). I'm not sure if I will have one ready before the race begins.

 

[carlnoki]

thats cool

will start opening up the race envelopes Sunday and send the info to you then.

Don and Steve; I seriously doubt the scores will be retrieved from the DELMARVA club (JMO)

so I would call that race a toss out unfortunately.

Please confirm you have my paid entry? The lost points deal is going to really suck for me since I won 6 first places at that race. Just my luck. Didn't someone keep the paperwork used at the end of the race to hand out trophies? I think this is a conspiracy of some sorts by my Tunnel hull "friends"!!! I'll bring my six 99 cent trophies back to the pond and cash them in for points, how about that. Beasley
