Ebay car alert, passtime or insanity you make the call
I find myself in my internet freetime, emailing pack and district leaders in the geographical area of the "winners"(ironic term I know)of ebay premade car auctions... I have less issues with the sellers than the buyers, but there is blame to go around... I figured if I put some fear in the...

looking for (x)E+finals race software with electronic timer
Hi I'm hunting for a program that may not yet be written. Basically a computerized way to run Stan Popes 5E+finals or (x)E+finals In it's simple form I need something to 1. input group size and number of lanes 2. random sort and display racers for 1st round heats 3. sense race results/allow for ties...

Re: 5E with Finals and my "new ideas"?
[quote="Stan Pope"]I think that it could reasonably be done. That would not keep me from wanting to know how to run with no electronics ... not even an electronic finish line. And the method as I teach it is ready to invoke so long as at least the cars will stay on the track and there is e...

Re: 5E with Finals and my "new ideas"?
Hey Stan (and others) Just thought I'd check in, been running the method you helped me develop in this thread 3 years now, with great success. My only scout aged son just crossed over, I've been asked to come to Pow wow next fall and teach the method to other pack leaders and maybe to my eventual su...

HELP! Get a load of this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1190&item=5958775996&rd=1 I saw this auction this morning before work, and left it on the computer when I left for work... When I came home my wife was amazed, not that someone would try to sell a premade car... but more so that any ...

Re: Need rules for for District race
Hey Stan with you approval I plan on using your Districts rules as a template for making some long overdue changes to my own districts mostly unwritten rules. I would be happy to credit your district if you so desire.

ledsled some ideas
the guys here have convinced me that DE is not the way to go. The hard part for me, after I was won over was selling it to the packs bigwigs to change the way "it's always been done" I'd consider running the individual packs 3 or 4 elimination and then taking the top 3 in each pack for a m...

Re: looking for software that ....

Re: 2E on it's deathbed in my district
Thank God we talked about things I thought I didn't need to know, I'll explain why later. As for the set up, we ran the 5E with finals on two tracks running different age groups with a 15 minute staggered start. Due to lack of room we used the token method we discussed. One poker chip was marked to ...

2E on it's deathbed in my district
Well, I ran the district pinewood race today. I used the system Stan sent me. My pack ran our track, and I ran the race on a track another pack brought. In the past we always ran 2E, but now that we used this new system , I don't think we'll be going back. I must have heard 50 comments about how muc...

Re: When Using Molten Lead....
Yes, brownboy, I was referring to your post. I'm not sure you answered my question. Do you drill out the lead weight at check-in on race day? If not, what if your scale and the "official" scale read different? We have so many boys show up on race day, it is difficult to make too many adju...
