Thanks guys, glad you like our setup. Nice to hear from the Chattanooga people! I think it's a good idea for us to get together at both locations (Atlanta and Chattanooga)! Sounds like fun! Like Shaun said, we need to run a few more races here to get a bit more organized and get used to the lap counting system.
So shall we consider something like mid Feb / early March? That would give us 2 or 3 races here to get better organized. We could plan a big race on a Sat (or Sun?) here, then 2 weeks later, we come up there and I'll bring the lap counting system. If that sounds like a good time frame, I'll come up with a couple of dates that correspond to our "every other week" racing schedule and we'll start a thread here and on the Chattanooga site to get some feedback on days and times. Let me know what everyone else thinks. Of course anyone is welcome to come down here before then too!
I'm not sure how we could run a teams scenario? I guess you could just tally up the placements and average them for each team? You guys have any good ideas? How did you do it before?
I would also like to run an F1 class... I have one and pHREDD has some... aren't there a few more Chattanoogians with them? I'll have to start hopping mine up!
Sounds like fun!

FordGT40 -- Good to hear from you! Also check the screws holding down the steering servo and the servo saver screw (don't overtighten this as you won't have much "saver" left of the servo saver, but it shouldn't be loose). Well, you might as well check all the screws in the cars (if you haven't already). Let us know when you can make it, we look forward to meeting you and your son... (my son is hoping that another boy shows up too). Do you have more potential to make it on a Saturday or a Sunday? Hope to see you soon!
my gtg group has regional meetings with the pa group dorks on wheels about every 3 to 4 months. this seems to work well as it leaves enough room to make the trip worthwhile and still draw interest. seeing as it's a 2-3hr drive i don't think i could space it any closer and still get guys willing to make the drive. its hard enough for most of us with kids to make our bi-weeklt meetings
HEy Saun,
Thanks for the link. We are all Newbies down here in Tally and all my buddies have the x-mods. All we do so far is demoliton derbies in one of our garages with pvc laid down on a slick floor. But we get 5 to 10 people together at a time and I am hoping that the mini L track I have on order along with a test drive im my new AWD Ma10 will get some of them to take the next step. Never know in 6 months or so we might be up for a raod trip. Will keep an eye out on this thread. Good Luck
Dave
are you guys going to do the hfay points series? don't recall if you guys have a timing system or not?
Hi arch2b,
What is hfay points series? Is it even possible with the Core software to keep running points?
I have the Core system and I'm currently playing with setting up a race with qualifiers and everything. I have to say as a software developer for quite some time now, I'm not too fond of the Core software. Lot's of little bugs and the whole UI (user interface) is not very "intuitively obvious" (not real clear how to accomplish things). I don't doubt that it works fine for what it is, but I think it leaves a bit to be desired. I've also experienced a few crashes (where the program just vanishes). Thankfully these haven't occurred during a race, but we've only used is for one day of racing so far. Hardware seems to work fine. Have you had any issues (minor or major) with the software?
little time for extended chats. you can imagine how many windows pop up when i log on.... wish i did have more time though as i enjoyed chatting with most everyone
