Yeah Pat, my son is doing fine now. He had a stomach virus that seemed like it might be something worse.

Hey Gareth/Striker et al. When are the races in the Seattle Area?

A huge THANK YOU to Dan Hughes and David Addington for setting the course in the park slalom.

Dan had to leave early for a med emergency -- did that turn out OK?

Good and Bad starts at State Games
On 6/5/2007 Pat Chewning wrote in from United States  (67.189.nnn.nnn)

The tone starts in the Hybrid tripped up a few people. I decided to take a look at the results and see what I could find.

The results are here: Click here for link

I finally found an aspect of slalom racing where I am almost as good as Michael Dong --- hitting the start on the money.

Your top 3 best starters (total time in 8 runs going early or late) are:

Michael Dong .66 seconds too early or too late over 8 runs
Pat Chewning .89 seconds too early or too late over 8 runs
Dan Miszewski 1.15 seconds too early or too late over 8 runs



The absolute best start of the day was a tie .003 seconds from the tone
(Gareth Roe and Dan Miszewski)

The prize for the worst start of the day goes to Josh Burt who started a full 12.04 seconds after the tone.

Organizer Fatigue at OSG
On 6/5/2007 Pat Chewning wrote in from United States  (67.189.nnn.nnn)

In the Hybrid race, Ladder Bracket 2, run 2

Dong is supposed to be in the left lane, Moy in the right. I call them up, enter the names into the computer, and glance up to make sure the right racer is in the right lane.

I say: "Swap guys, Dong is supposed to be in the left lane".

They say: "We don't need to swap, check again."

I bury my head into the computer's spreadsheet. Sure enough, it says Dong needs to be in the left lane, Moy in the right.

I say: "Swap lanes"
They say "No, I was in the other lane last race"

I re-look at the spreadsheet, check the last run.... looks good to me.
I finally stand up, look right at Dong, who is in the right lane and tell him "Move to the left lane" He turns around --- IT'S not DONG! It is Corey Moy!

Two skinny, fast, dark-haired guys with Roe-Racing chest protectors racing each other and I'm so tired I can't tell one from the other ....

Timing
On 6/3/2007 Pat Chewning wrote in from United States  (67.189.nnn.nnn)

Take a look here for some suggestions on timing equipment.
http://www_slalomskateboarder_com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2513

What will the timer be used for?
Practices? Small competitions? Large competitions?

For reliability, I suggest a Trackmate timer --- if you don't mind hand-entering the information from the timer into a spreadsheet when running a race.

If you are more interested in a timer for larger races and you want the times to automatically appear in the spreadsheet, then Chronocone is a reasonable choice.


Chronocone takes more effort to set up, and it takes more expertise to run than the Trackmate. Whether it is an overall win depends on the level of skill and practice of the timing operator, and how big and fast-paced the race is.


I do have to tell you that I am the developer of Chronocone, and I am biased.

Ti-ming; timing
On 6/2/2007 Gary wrote in from Canada  (208.181.nnn.nnn)

I am sure that this question has been asked before, but that was before I visited this site. I am looking for a supplier for timing gear. It doesn't have to be wireless, it does need to be less expensive and reliable (if those two criteria ever go together.) Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

I add my congrats to Brad for rippin it up in Europe!!

.......if Capt'n Dave gives me a Redbull and the microphone to Chewning's PA system. That's all I have to say on the matter.

It'll be good to see everyone at the State Games Race. -P

CSA now owns a PA system
On 5/31/2007 Pat Chewning wrote in from United States  (67.189.nnn.nnn)

For less than the cost of renting a PA system, I bought one for CSA's events. Got it used from a church that was upgrading their PA system.

5-input equalizer, amplifier, nice microphone with on/off switch, a big-ass speaker. Tested and works. Connected to my MP3 player built into my phone. All for $50

The only thing we HAVE to do is keep Pauliwog away from it ......
