6/23 Bristol Epilogue

[Oberstwill]

Enjoy your "freebie" win by a BMW.............Let the warning fall, the E30 is in 100% prepped mode as of today. I almost won in a grandmother Forester on snow tires ( I was building egos up), now time to bring vengance (not direct at the porsche driver in tire class with the initials of SG ).........

The winning BMW was also driven by someone named Heicotter, which is a bit of an outlier He beat the winning STU M3 time on one of the two courses, also driven by an outlier heh.

Here's one of my laps at BMS for anyone who missed doing a set: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPp31VL5NBM

My fastest lap on the autocross course, not that it's anything to write home about. I keep braking too late so I don't get on the gas soon enough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qZPuQe5MJs

Iwould just like to know from the actual workers in the timing trailer what the ? happened to my run? Why was I shown a 38.? when I had my best run of the day! Did some one burp,fart or puke!! Or how much were ya paid? Who was monitoring the timing at that time, The run before and after mine did not get a rerun what did you guys do????????

There was a false finish on your run (someone or something besides a car went through the finish light before you got there). We caught it and were able to reset the timer so it didn't affect the car running after you, but we couldn't get a time on you because of it. Dillow might remember more, as I was running the radio at the time.

Thanks, I think I'll put that one on the what list.

Sorry about your run; it definitely should go on the bummer list, but there was nothing we could do. We heard the timer chirp the stop, then a few seconds later we heard it again when you went through and knew we had a problem. I was able to reset the finish before the next car came through, which preserved the ordering for the rest of the cars on the course, but the damage was done to your time.

It'd be nice if we could go back through and say "this was the false event" and fix everything after it automatically, but that's a full timing system change, and a log of juggling to deal with when the cars are coming every 15 seconds or so on our usual courses.
