We completed our 2009 Pinewood Derby yesterday and a very odd thing is showing up in the stats. Well.. sort of in the stats.
We do points racing - so all of the stats are then generated accordingly.
( a side bar - we should be able to view and record the elapsed times along with the points for the benefit of the viewers and those builders who would use ET as a central metric for tweaking their cars. I personally don't like that this information isn't shown or available when on the "points" side of the house within the software )
So after I generate all of the stats on the points side of the house, I flip the software to times racing to then pull all the ET's data.
Here is what is odd ( note - we are using a 6 lane track ):
in the grid that shows the number of first place finishes, second, third, etc for each lane, there is a column for DNF's and a column for 7th place... EH? 7th place? I am CERTAIN I am going to get some questions about that.
Thank you in advance for your information about this.

Re: Question about 7th place on a 6 lane track???
You can email me your data (MDB) file and I can see if I can reproduce the problem. Please ZIP it up or at least change the file extension to something like TXT, so it will get through our virus checker.

A different question - how do I easily pull the fastest and slowest car from the data - for some reason I can't get the reports screen to generate the winner of fastest and slowest car

I'm not quite sure what you are referring to. The standings report will show you from 1st place to nth place for the selected race group (or overall, if you select for All groups).pack529holycross wrote:A different question - how do I easily pull the fastest and slowest car from the data - for some reason I can't get the reports screen to generate the winner of fastest and slowest car
