Can we confirm official cone sizes?

Dont want anyone using cones from a Lego set!

Like the look of the Latvian set up, especially the way you have to start and finish at the same end! (joke)

And what arrived in the email today?: Guinness World Records Smashed is a new one-hour TV special from Outline Productions and SKY1. It's taping before a live audience on the 2nd and 3rd October, for screening early December on Sky1, and THEY WANT YOU! If you have ideas for record-breaking attempts ...

I helped with timing and support of Joel Kings World Record Jet Luge runs. I think one run was up around 113mph on 85mm Speed vents . (The runs are averaged from two runs in an hour and his previous run was up around 92mph...) The wheels held up completely. We'd had advice about balancing wheels, bu...

The 3 seconds thing is similar to my RUREADY. system. Its to allow a longer/slower vehicle pass through the beam in the first beam without re-triggering. One way would be to intentionally break the first beam on an earler beep, knowing it wont re-trigger for 3 seconds. The after 2 seconds depart on ...

3 World Champions and still counting!

What about AM World champs? Paul Price and oh, lets see....... ME!

Sorry your upset at the train prices......but at least my 100 euros entry will probably go some way to paying your return fare.

100 EUROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jeez.

Good Luck with the race.

Can you tell me what kind of chalk you will be using? This is so important and is something most race organisers forget to tell racers.

Michael Stride

Pat I am surprised and sdissapointed at your response. Here's the deal: 1) The contest organizer asked the ISSA for an answer on how to treat the questionable results of the race. This I did, first to Peter Klang, then to yourself, asking you to contact Peter Klang for his veiws 2) The ISSA gave the...

Michael Stride

I have emailed you a reply to each of your emails, none of which state clearly any results or adjudication. Pat Chewings response did, clearly, and for which I have thanked him.

I suggest you take it up with him.

Michael Stride

Try spelling it correctly.

the clue is its the same as RIGHT NEXT TO MY PICTURE!!!

Michael Stride

Peter. My PM folder shows NO messages from you at ANY time. Please detail when you posted the results, and how that corresponds with my formal request for ISSA results, submitted with times, and race scenario. Your inital response of 'results' was done without knowing the facts. those facts were sub...

Michael Stride

Peter, I expect more from an official of the ISSA. I asked for an adjudication, formally, to you. On getting no response to that, or my second request I asked Pat Chewing to look into the matter. I also note that Jack Smith has also experienced getting responses from you. The photographs show who 'w...

Michael Stride

Peter. I sent a PM to you on trhe 6th February at 10.16 asking for an adjudication. And a reminder asking for any news on the 7th at 13.26. The applicatioon was repeated word for word on the this thread for everyone to see. On recieving no reply at all (check the system) I approcahed Pat Chewing who...

Michael Stride

Any decision, even a bad one, taken during the race, would have been way better than what is happening now. I have to disagree. Any bad decision would have led to racers racing the wrong people, unaware they were doing so. And that happened at Cadwell. To decide to keep the results as wrong once a ...

Michael Stride

Jani, I agree that in an ideal world these things would not happen. As the race organiser I was aware of problems with the recording of the times of the GS pro as they occured. I was witness to the error occuring on the spreadsheet. So were the other people who were entering those times, and I in no...

Michael Stride

I sent the results top Pat Chewing who has given this adjudication for the Dual Pro Facts: 1) The qualifying round was completed. 2) The bracketing for the H2H round was in error (using sum of qual times instead of best time). 3) The race format was improvised to be a single-run H2H rather than two ...

Michael Stride

I have begun to recieve some lovely mesages of 'thanks', and this from someone who organises 1 man, private World Record attempts. Michael, I was very dissapointed after what seemed to be attempts by you to 'make peace' at Cadwell, wearing a "Showdown" T-shirt and, as someone I have known for 30 yea...

Michael Stride

I have sent all details to Peter Klang. Pat Chewing says that Peter says he is 'done'. That was yesterday but I have heard nothing. I suggest to all those with opinions they lobby Peter as soon as possible. I can only apologise for the confusion on this one result, but it does show what extreme cond...

glad you liked the timers. they are things that you dont realise how nice they are till you see and use them in racing. The digital displays are from Gunfighter.com and made by RUready.com They supply the screen with an integrated timer, and I also bought two sets of light beams per lane. When used ...

OK, I change Dom to THIRD but also will ask the ISSA to rule on it. I see the logic, but it may be unfair to DOM to lose out due to the H2H being cut down.

Rule 8.2 · Racers not entering the head-to-head rounds receive results as usual, based on the completed qualifying round. And due to time constarints we went from qualifying to the last 4 for Head to Head as best we could. 1 race per heat. Sudden death. NOT ideal, but the best we could do under the ...

Michael Stride

Peter, the final of the DUAL should be the two racers in the final. I m sorry but I cant remeber who was in the final as I had people desperate to extend the race hill time and had to liase with other people, whilst the racing went on. I NEED to know who was in the final two! The final 4 are decided...

Michael Stride

The start was the best method ever. A start beep and a second random beep...no false starts! and so easy and simple! i think that's the way to go! Im glad you liked it. Its a difficult one to try, but it does mean racers HAVE to wait for the signal. I think discussion of that start system would be ...

Sorry for the confusion on the Dual result..... Due to errors DOM qualified first, but in the racing Hans won 'hans down!'?
