I second all of the above!
I want to be on the record stating publicly that Westchester
Sports Car Club put on a first-class event yesterday. They
came out with a brand new JA Circuits timing system, new
timing/scoring software, and even changed to a heat system
for run groups --- all at the same event. This was a recipe
for disaster, yet everything worked. I've been to a lot of
WSCC events over the past 6 years, and this one was their best
by far in my opinion. [Contrast this to an event of theirs two
years ago, when I probably set the national re-run record with
11 trips to the starting line for 6 timed runs.] I heard
nothing but good things in the paddock after the event, and
made it a point to pass along the praise to the club's
coreworkers. The improvement from earlier in the season
was night and day, and I wouldn't have believed it if I
wasn't there.

For the benefit of those in Team.Net land, that was 3rd place
out of 22 cars in the PAXed novice class. Not bad for a
first-timer!

No, thank you for convincing me to go to WSCC instead of
Albany yesterday. I wouldn't have believed how good the
event was if I didn't see it with my own eyes, and I'm
sure that Team HUOA (who all went to Harrisburg) are
probably thinking that I have an exhaust leak in my car
or something.....
