Well, the guys got a couple runs in, but problems with the timing system ... test at home was fine, but couldn't get any numbers from down the track - checking it out this week, probably going to simplify a part of the system, means some work but should make it more reliable ... guess it should be done in another week or so ...
Apart from that - dry and sunny (even have a slight sunburn  ), but pretty darn windy ... Tnx to all the folks who showed up and helped!!!

What time did you all start running? I left around 4:00 and wasn't sure when it was going to be fixed. Oh well there will be a next time.

Well, we did the runs - I think - somewhere around 4.30 or so ... not sure, was too busy trying to figure out what was going wrong ...

The first official T&T (Saturday was only the equipment test) will be on May 10/11 ... setup on May 9 late afternoon ... date is listed on the events (<- click on events on the left) as well as on the http://1on1-motorsports.de event listing ... there's one T&T at Bitburg every month up to October, 1st or 2nd weekend ...

Silke will check on when we can start setting up - ATM, I would expect us starting not later then 1800, though I would prefer starting earlier (best would be as soon as I show up with the tree ) And yes, help is always appreciated ...

Any help is appreciated ... we are trying to get enough people together so that each one will only have a small part of the work&time, and enough to still do racing, viewing, whatever ... ATM, I do not know who all is going to show up on Friday evening for the initial setup, which includes setting up the track (timing system), and the multiple other things all around (like two tents, etc.)
Guess we should start a thread over at the 1on1 board for people to just let us know they're coming for help and when, so we can plan ahead ...

Count me in on the set up. Just let me know where you need the help at.
