Killshot, Inc ( Kim Schenck ) got some great pictures of the event. https://www.facebook.com/killshotinc/ph ... 6195534552

This is one of my favorite pictures ever now.

Fun Runs are total bull shit in standings and results. They shouldn't be included in the final results. Give them a t shirt for "Fryed Nads". Then I will run in that class and win.
It should be easy enough to pull FN out and have them on a second page/tab, it is annoying when you're trying to figure out how you placed overall.

Not as easy as you think. What we do now is hit "export" on a ready-made report that shows all results. Takes about 2 seconds. To do anything "custom", we'd have to export the results to Excel, manually remove stuff, and then format our own report.

Count the number of FN drivers above you. Subtract that from your overall position. There you go. OR, just drive faster.

BUT... not all of the FN drivers are double-entries. Some of them just run FN because reasons. So, some of them legitimately finished ahead of you in the same number of runs that you did.

Bottom line, quityerbitchen.

I like it just for the cone elevation... the drivers' meeting now needs a cone flip and a whip of dirt to the face....

Yeah

So exactly what are we paying you for then? Do our own mathematics? OMG. Normal Entry -(FN+2) + (FN+0) = FTD and real standings?

I can't imagine having to see results in 2 seconds. I have to wait until November to see if the entire middle class disappears under Hillary with her $12 minimum wage.

What is another couple hours? My racing days will end when the minimum wage/household exceeds our pensions. Humor us.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not, but... No.

You're competing against people in your class. Your class results are as accurate and "noise free" as they can be. The results by time list is just for amusement. Be amused. We're not all competing for FTD, and we don't do PAX. The results by time is just a quick and easy way to see what everyone's best time was. You're worrying about something that doesn't need to be worried about.

And don't drag politics into it. :no: This is no place for that.
