Dear all,

We now have a new Farnham Scalextric Club website, fully illustrated, in which to find out about the club, its extensive range of classes, how we race, our results and... erm... stuff.

Its all very new but will soon be bedded in I'm sure. Feel free to stop by anytime on the link below.

New Farnham website

 

[Mr.M]

Great work Nick!

I had a bit of a look round after reading the interclub report and unfortunately my OCD went into meltdown when I clicked on the scores listed for the couple of club nights.

On the first night Alec seems to have been short 4 points in LMP - two wins, a second and a last place was scored as 8 instead of 12. It looks as though those extra four points would elevate him from third place on the night to the win!

Using the "rule of 10", it is quite easy to check for inaccuracies at the end of each class or night. Basically every race has 10 points available - 4,3,2,1 - and every class has the same amount of heats as there are racers. So, for example, 10 racers equals 100 points per class. This means that class totals and the overall total will always be divisible by 10. You don't need to add the entire scores, just the last digit to check. As long as you end up at 0, chances are it will be right.

For example ; the second night seems to be over by 1 point - not as important as Alec being robbed

- but by going through the class totals it shows that the offending class is underpants F1. Counting all the scores shows that there are 11 twos but only 9 ones.

Apart from that - marvellous!

Thanks, Jim... I'll go back through the two results sheets again as soon as I can.

Girding my loins to go back and upload the results that have been sitting around since the old website was put out to pasture - only 3 years' worth!

 

[driver#8]

Edits made.

 

[Mr.M]

I'd probably better stop looking

There was still a discrepancy in the totals.

Hope I'm not putting you off your mammoth task of retrospective data uploading

 

[driver#8]

Erm... yes, a bit.

I know that I should just get on with it, but having put the site together, illustrated it and populated it, working out where the scoresheets are wrong is not gripping me at the moment! With around 120-odd to go life is looking a bit short.

Tonight's results are up - triple checked!

Season 4 Week 3

 

[Mr.M]

aaaahhh!

Tis surely a thing of immense beauty!

I suddenly feel so calm and relaxed.

And for Jim's peace of mind, here's the Week 4 results and report: Season 4 Week 4

 

[JasonB]

Your website looks great, well done.

Thanks, Jason!

Inter-club Challenge grand finale next week, so this is the penultimate club night report before Santa comes bearing lots of shiny new plastic (we hope).

Week 4 report on the homepage

Latest results from Week 5, Christmas opening and the Bolwextric Enduro - all found here.

Happy Christmas one and all.

 

[Mr.M]

Regarding the Bolwextric endurance it is actually £10 per head. Wouldn't make much for charity at £10 per car.

Details added to the Bolwextric page.
