LOL dude, you obviously don't know me  Grin Grin Grin Grin

It would not make me or the plex look bad if you guys beat Walsh, in fact I would have been happy, it would have given me some great ammunition to rib those guys...which I do relentlessly anyway.

The Motoplex could care less who won, we just want the fastest team credited as the winner, second fastest as second place, and so on.

Fact of the matter was there was some kind of scanner malfunction and one of the Walsh guys laps did not get recorded.

Believe this....I do not stand for cheating......and I will happily call out anyone caught cheating.

I have e-mailed the scorers and asked for the lap times for everyone so I can post them.

Hey oldest, Im the guy who was attempting to beat yalls smokin fast lap times. The borrower of your air pump. Ok, the young, good looking, blond bald head dude Wink Your team was a definate insperation to me, I pushed myself and machine almost to the limits and for that i am grateful. I do hope to see yall at the 6hr race in january. Do us a favor and and only bring quads with 3 wheels so we have a chance Cheesy
As for the mix up in scoring, I know the owner pretty well and to my knowledge he would not do this on purpose or for anyones benefit. It was a simple mistake and we still got schooled by you OLD DUDES Wink

I was told it depends on your lap times so you guys were running low 30min laps, I don't know why you guys didn't get another lap

The finish time for Team Old Man Racing on the sheet I have says you guys finished at 6:46:36.

There was a bit of confusion on the 6:15 white flag thing, I think that was mainly caused by me.  Shocked

As it is explained to me now, if the white flag is up, you can have one more lap...checkered flag is no more laps. Sounds simple now, but at the time it didn't make as much sense.  Grin

They put out the white at 6:15, then the checkered at 6:45.

Team Old Man could not have gone out for another lap.

Most of the teams came in after 6:45, but we checked this too after the race and none of it made any difference to any places, either by class or overall. 

Biggest problems we have to fix are a) a better understanding of the finish, which will be better explained at the drivers meeting (hopefully I understand it better myself now) & b) I am going to take the scorer away from everyone at the end of the race and let her tally the scores without the pressure of a ton of guys saying what's my time, who did the fastest lap...etc., etc.. All understandable questions, but I am going to make everyone wait until the trophy ceremony next time.  Tongue

all rules need to be posted that way this will not happen again ---starting times rules pertaining to the race that day this is imporant to the racers as the release we sign for the track is to the people puting on the race ---thanks===

Hey Paul, 1 way to solve it is to let them go, no matter what time it is, at 7:00 (or whatever time the race ends) if your not in, your lap is not registered. simple!

Hey oldest you aint the crew from Pensacola that I met  way back at one of the Motoplex feature weekends are ya? If so, Shawn you guys had some tough competition! I rode with these guys and they are good,,,,,, uh well at least "smart" like he said. I can't agree more that all out speed aint always the best in XC, it usually comes down to who rides consistent lap times at a good even hard pace. That theory has worked for me and all I ride is a stock powered 400 EX with minor suspension tweaks and I predominately race against 450's!
