Now 4 to go..............................
Sitting at work waiting for the day to end.:roll:
Thanks for the heads up Fish, do you have a schedule for the judges? are we going to stay at the same course or rotate? I need to get me some of the delcious smoked meat."thumbsup"
The same judges should be on the same courses all day for consistency. We will have plenty of time to eat "thumbsup" If you get hungry on course you might even be able to ask a runner to bring you a rib or chicken wing if you ask nicely :lmao:

I will work a trade I will bring judges food n drink for a very good score. Lol
I have heard through the grapevine a few people are STRESSED about 3 courses being run by 12:30 deal.
That's funny, but not surprising! I'm usually have no problem getting all my courses in with 1-2 hours left before the close of courses. It's not hard to do!!
Ive got SO much shiat thats going to need worked on... Mainly scale stuff, because thats more important
I wonder if people are worried about doing the courses in time, or having all their team mates run it in time first to give them all the pointers?

I'm only going to worry myself with 2 things....
1) impartial, accurate, and consistent judging
2) having fun "thumbsup"

Trust me the last thing I want to do is give someone a 50 point Course DQ, but it has to be this way.
With an approximate field size of 105 drivers taking 5 minutes per course (4 min course = 1 min to change drivers)
105 x 5 = 525 minutes of possible driving stuff.
7:00 - 5:30 = 630 minutes of Drive Time
Gives us a 6 minutes per driver window per driver for the day.
7:00 - 12:30 = 330 minutes
6:30 Thats a 6 minute 30 second window before lunch. (53 drivers)
Leaving you with 5 hours (300 min) to get the 53 with a 5:35 per driver window.
Thats LESS time to get through the second half of the day:shock:
I personally love the FREE CRAWL format because it gives you a chance to THINK, PLAN and be STRATEGIC. No one telling you you have to run course x first BS.
The problem is the only strategy some drivers can come up with is to watch 2x dozen runs on each course, wait for the rocks to dry out and get warm then run all their courses after lunch.
With a field the size of this it would be a train wreck if only 10% of the field did it, and you know more than 10% would try.
If your ready to run when you get to the comp. Don't get in line with more then 15 people already in line (Unless its your last), and don't take hour breaks between course you will be fine.
BTW judges did I mention Judges don't have to worry about that, or stand in those long lines.:twisted:
Also don't get mad when one or more cuts in front of you ....because you had the same chance
