Wow....Arnie, you, Lloyd and Travis tore the place up this weekend, unbelievable racing, great fun to watch :thumb:
What was it or where is it posted?
Lloyd was definitely tearing it up out there, as was Arnie, Travis and a couple of others. It was really awesome watching you guys and hanging out with several of you. Simon, thanks for all your help this weekend!

Maybe CCS will put out a press release. But, he did it in the Unlimited GP race 1:30.1, I just missed it in the same race with a 1:30.3.
Huh? didn't Wilkey record a 1:29.5 last year?

oh ho...where's the popcorn?
I thought Rob had done a 1:29.6 because I asked his dad, and I even told the CCS officials that, but they said his record from last year was a 1:30.2 according to their records.
Mr. Hastings is very modest. Every race he entered on Sat he won. The race Lloyd set the record in was the first one he didn't take first place in.
When you sputtered going into Turn 6 in the one race the CCS pit out official and I were actually excited because we got to see you work your way through again.
Excellent job Arnie, Lloyd and Travis to echo Simon. You guys kept it exciting and fun as always. And not one of you hit the cones in the Chicane unlike many of your fellow racers.
Lloyd and Arnie were on a different level of crazy, last weekend.
Thanks to the Hastings for supporting me on my first win.....

Did you keep count of how many times you had to run out and fix the cones?? :ahhh: :ahhh:
Hey Arnie, congratulations on a great job! Wish I could have been there with you guys.
I have no idea what the CCS officials last weekend were looking at but I actually had at least 4 or 5 races in the 1:29's (if not more) and the fastest was 1:29.599. Those were the times actually posted on the results board as well as called out by Geoff Allen over the PA system, and the "CCS Officials" had the opportunity (and supposedly did) to review the results before posting the news article that's in the archives, so I'm not sure where the guys from last weekend got their info but it's definitely not accurate based on the "OFFICIAL" results posted last year.
I guess this shows why immediate public posting of results can be important.
In any case, you and Lloyd obviously did great and I'm just sorry I couldn't be there with you.
Maybe next time.

It was way too many times to count actually. Some races it would have been easier to tell control who didn't hit the cones and who didn't blow the chicane. Speaking of chicanes I'm wondering why riders wouldn't go ahead and do the same routine in practice as during the race. Had quite a few people blow the chicane during the race and not stop as well. Just do a half hearted attempt. It sucked but had to call control for both offenders of the chicane and cones. It almost seems unfair on a 6 lap race to have to do the ride through at Shenny. We did make a tremendous effort to duct tape the cones down as well. Mr. Beggs was one of my offenders on Sunday with the cones.
I think I know what the issue was on the official track record. The officials were looking at expert times not rememebring that a very fast Amatuer actually set the lap record last year. The article from last year does have the correct lap times for Robert Wilkey posted.
Thanks bro! I kinda figgured you'd sort it out. ;)

So Lloyd has the Expert lap record and
Rob has the Am lap record. They are just backwards.
Lol. I believe Eric would tell you that a track only has one lap record.... :lmao:
