I expect to take as many pics as I can.
and I encourage everyone else to do so as well
folks can always email me pics that I can host in my photobucket and make available publicly and on various sites.
getting pics of the cars at the line, and/or finish is quite difficult for me as I am running the timing system and races.
I am still trying to learn and set up video equipment.
then edit

guys ....
anyone sending proxy entries to my race has to send them to me
they should have left already to get here in time, but there still is time.
.....I have gotten a PM that someone sent his in the mail to the Blue Comets Motorcycle Club ....
I don't know how that is going to work. i don't live there, Hank doesn't live there. I know of no one who lives there.

I just read through everything again and it does not say that anywhere. I probably would not have been able to send anyway, but might have been cool to see if I could have built something to compete with the onsite locals?? Maybe you put that on another forum??  |

Jeff,
it was not advertised anywhere as a proxy.
some folks did PM me and ask if they could send cars.
I am going to try it with the live racers and see how it goes.
this will be the first race at the club where I am doing everything.
expecting 20+ racers and then the possible proxy entries will make for a new challenge.
a couple guys are just sending cars to get runs on them for testing purposes and don't want them entered.
I am a little disappointed that one guys cars might end up in limbo since they have been sent to the club and not to me.
everyone who contacted me or asked was given my mailing address, so I don't know how this error occured.
also, I just started a new job and that will cause delay in posting results and pictures of this event.
I guess I could have been more specific in the various postings about proxy entries being welcome this time.
sorry.
you know, there is another proxy race scheduled the same weekend?

That's understandable. Believe me.....I know how much work and effort goes into a proxy event much less a real race where the racers are on site. I thought I missed something. I am also well aware of the Colorado race on the same weekend since I am entered. That is why I said I wasn't sure I could have sent anything anyway. All I can say is I wish I could be there myself. I look forward to seeing any pics that anyone might be able to post. Thanks for the reply.
