I echo your sentiment, can't recall ever having a really good time in 'Ol Frisco. Although on my day of walking around by myself i discovered that all the deli's have Meatloaf sandwiches. I considered it my "walking Meatloaf" tour. I think we only paid $20 for our car to have a parking spot at the hotel. Buncha bandits...

So you do eat those things, I wondered. I guess after a few licks they start tasting pretty good.

Re: Digital Bracketology (11 replies, posted in NASTE)
And yes, we now have RamJet's. No need to use those plunger-style controllers. Unless of course that is your preference.
If I find time, we may even have anti-collision. Actually thinking about it, I SHOULD find the time.

Topic: Digital Bracketology (11 replies, posted in NASTE)
The next NASTE race is scheduled for here on Saturday, May 2. In preparation for our big Rib's 'n Racin' event we'll be running on the digital track - new things to make sure of. It will NOT be a TEAM Enduro. Rather here is the format that we'll be using:
Jacquelin Park Speedway
Digital Bracket Race Format
1. Draw for rotation position within division
2. Each racer to run 4 sprints of 25 laps per rotation position
No refuel
First to 25 wins and the heat ends
Each racers complete laps will be totaled
Sprints are only used for bracket seeding and are not part of your score
3. At conclusion of sprints racers in each division will be ordered bottom to top for Bracket Racing
4. Starting from the bottom brackets will be structured so that there are 4 racers per heat
5. The higher rated racer in each heat gets choice of car/position
6. One 50 lap heat per bracket will be run with re-fuel with the winner of the heat moving on to the next bracket
7. Bracket results will establish the final results and will be the only scored portion
Let the complaining begin.

Thanks for the great evening out, always good to get some toy time.
The Cobra is making progress but still needs some taming. But all in good time. First I have to fix what I broke.

i agree. And all of this would be mitigated by all owners hosting the same amount of counting races. I'm all for that.

Re: New Championship Rules for 2016 (46 replies, posted in Race Rules)
Terry, some tracks are unfair because the owners have a good skill level AND a good amount of experience vs their competition. It's why Bryan wins nearly every race on his track. It's why I win most of the time here. Especially since my skill has improved significantly since the early days of Autumn Hills when that was not the case. You can check the results and do your own skew there.
The goal is to find the most fair track, the one where the owner wins the least amount of time and everyone has some experience and feels comfortable.
Perhaps we should have a vote on which track folks would prefer to use for a one race finale. But, everyone will need to vote, not just the forum regulars.
As for counting the results of the track owner, as Bill points out, it won't really change much but it may affect how the others feel about it. Neither do I feel the need for the two wins at home crutch. Nor do I feel the need to actually be the Champion. I'm happy to see everyone get their chance. It's more important to me to show my friends a good time when they come to our house.
You'll note the Sunday Series may have a points leader but there is no champion.
Fair rules for ALL are my only goal.

Re: New Championship Rules for 2016 (46 replies, posted in Race Rules)
And one other item to consider for fairness... The track owner wins most of the time. ALWAYS!
Find a solution that makes it equally fair for the racer that doesn't own a track and host races. Otherwise why should I even want to race in a system that clearly rewards those that are track owners that host?
In my opinion, a reduced number of counting events with more opportunities to improve the count gives more people a better chance to get to the final and win the championship, but that's just me.
And there is one more option I have considered bringing up.
Don't let the host(s) race.
And I'm fine with that rule. It's fair. And it would simplify a lot of things.

Re: New Championship Rules for 2016 (46 replies, posted in Race Rules)
I'm sorry, I got lost. Exactly who did I benefit with my "skewed numbers" and my suggestion that Bill's track was a good solution? And the list of apparently skewed numbers was to compare wins by track owner, not the track owner, his immediate family (uh let's see, John Bostic, AJ Locati, Amanda Abbott) or personal friends.
So here we are trying to find a good solution that everyone can live with. Bill has come up with a good plan that will offer reasonable and fair competition for all. It also allows those that don't feel they have the right moxie to not have to compete for the championship but rather just race for the fun of it.
If someone has a better plan then let's hear it. We've certainly heard enough complaints about the current one. Speak up. Be clear.

An Enduro/Team event could be scheduled without being sanctioned. It is possible not all events would be sanctioned, the Halloween event for example.
