Race Data

[soobeesu]

What, if anything, does anyone do with the race data?

Also - how would I go about posting a picture of a car or a graph into a message??

Hey soobeesu:

I assume when you say "race data" you are talking about the race results. If that is the case, then what WIRL does with the data is they keep annual point totals for each car that races, and at the end of the year they give awards to the cars that earn the most points in each class. If you are talking about the heat-by-heat data, the guys who race look at that information to track their own progress. By looking at the individual heats, I can tell if I need to work on speed or consistency or both. By comparing results from one month to the next I can tell if I'm getting faster or slower relative to my own car and relative to the rest of the field. All that data helps me decide whether to "stay the course" or make changes in an effort to go faster.

To post a picture or a graph, I'm not very knowledgeable about these things, but I think you can right click on the picture/graph you want to post, then click copy, then go to the pm you want to post the picture/graph in and then right click again, then click paste. I'm not 100% sure of that, but you might give it a try.

Not sure I answered your questions, but I hope I helped.

Soobeesu, if you want to post pictures or graphs, the only way I know how is to use a web based service. I did it and it was really easy, just go to www.photobucket.com and create a free account. Then you upload the pictures from your computer into your photobucket album. When you have pictures in your photobucket album, click on "img code" under the picture and it will say "copied". Then when you write your message in the forum, just right click your mouse and click paste. You will see something in your message that begins and ends with img. Once you post your message, voila, image is there. I have no idea how it works but it does. Hope this helps, I posted a pick of our pack race to this message just to refresh my memory.

Photobucket works as I used this recently to get my "Craftsman" image posted. Lots of fun last night at Wirl race.

Would love to see your car too! It did well last night!
