Thanks to all participants yesterday and my personal apologies for any delays during the morning due to volunteer shortfalls.

Thank you to all the volunteers standing out in the sun and particular thanks to the three folk who stepped into keep the grid organised and the timing going when some of the club members allocated those tasks were unable to do so.

We will work during the year to look for an affordable portable electronic system, (maybe passive rfid), that the club can purchase so we can free resources on the day so all can enjoy more track time with less start delay. If any clever buggers have got any ideas in that regard please let me know.

The race committee members are also looking at an Auckland street event once we can iron out the timing issues.

Times posted below, my apologies these times may vary from your certified times used on the day, but in the rush to get the day finished, results were not filtered for rogue times. We have since taken any times that were either more than 1.50 seconds better than a drivers second best time or observed as being incorrect as an error. Also added to final results are entrants that were unconfirmed or with incomplete details at close of entries who may not have featured in certified results yesterday.

If you want a quick and easy way to resize your images try FastImageResizer from http://adionsoft.net/fastimageresize/

Allows you to resize a whole folder to JPEG or BMP and any one of a number of resolutions. I've been using it for a number of years and can't fault it. And it's free!
