I never received an email from your website to let me join.

Russ said earlier that he's having problems with the auto mail response.....

'So while the mail should be in a queue and still go out, I'm not 100% sure and just overrode the system. Just go and log in with the email / password you used.'

Not sure if you're having problems logging in beyond that, but I was able to log in and had never received the email confirmation either.

Version 1.1 has been release.

The new release includes a few minor tweaks based on user feedback. This includes usability changes for comparing riders.

• You now have to click on the comparison tab, where as before you were auto-navigated there after your first rider selected.
• There is now a clear all selected riders link which in one step will remove the selected riders and comparison tabs
• Average, Fastest and Slowest Lap stats will now all be even with each other even if a rider has done less laps than the rest of the field. I now also highlight in white who has the winning stat of those 3 with white letters instead of black...
• I've also made some performance improvements to this page as well in terms of the AJAX scripts that get the data after you click.

The big news for this release however is the 100% completion of the results importation tool for CCS. I have written CCS with the hopes that this weekends race at BFR will be the first to officially go up.

I performed most of my tests with the results from BFR May 31/Jun 1 who's results were not previously posted on my site but now are.

Enjoy!

I'm seeing results listed as 0:1.367 instead of 0:1:22.02.

Is there a formatting option that  I missed somewhere?

I've gotton the 'loading please wait' forever a few times, and had to close and reopen every once and a while. I also get some weird results under 'results browser' and there are some stuff listed for 'my top 15 quick links' at tracks that I haven't been too or classes I have never raced in etc..

Looking good so far!

@Hawl: Thanks I think I've got it all sorted out. I was doing a small portion of the math 2x. Once at import and then again on display. I just removed one step from the import math.

@LilJayRR, I will add a cancel button to that waiting page, until then hitting F5 or the refresh button will cancel you out just fine. I'm planning another update to the comparison page sometime in the next 3 days. Right now when you click a rider to compare laptimes, it gets the results each time you click a rider. which means if you add 5 riders in a row it does all that work 5 times.

I will be offloading this work to the results tab it's self, so it only does the work once, which will be after you click choose the riders, THEN click the results tab. This will remove about 5 unneeded HTTP calls for a single user per comparison... The current way made more sense when you automatically went to the results tab after adding each rider.


------------------------- UPDATE (8/26) -------------------------
I've updated the rider comparison code. You can now quickly add/remove riders to compare against and the results are not fetched until you click on the results tab. This change has created a significant performance boost.

I've also added a cancel button to the loading indicator allowing you to easily cancel out if anything does go sideways... Although it should happen less since I'm cutting out tons of erroneous requests to the server with the above change.

Russell,

First, let me again congratulate and thank you on a great contribution to the racing community!

Second, I was trying to Add an Association under my profile, but I couldn't add ASRA?  Are ASRA results/times available?

Thanks!

[Russell2566]

The way CCS uploads it's times, there is not a difference between ASRA and CCS.

If you have 2 numbers, one for ASRA and one for CCS, then you would need to add 2 separate associations, one for each plate number (even if it's only an additional 'x').

If you have any issues, post back and I will look further into it immediately. Your post brings up a good point though, and I'll change "CCS" to "CCS / ASRA" in the system.

[kl3640]

Thanks, that's what I figured, but I didn't see times under my association for events where I rode ASRA, such as Topeka, Road America, or Blackhawk, all of which were run this season.

I don't have data past early season this year live. A few days ago I received a full backup from Scott who ran the old system. I'm preparing to do an upgrade to the next version tonight or tomorrow that will involved getting the missing data live.

Starting tomorrow CCS should also start uploading all their new data from this past weekend. I believe there were some hardware issues from the 2 previous weekends and there will not be any data as far as I know. This is however word of mouth I have not been told anything official from CCS.

Russ- How often do you update the lap times?

It appears that CCS has finally loaded the Summit times from July as well as this weekend.

Really cool stuff here!

[Russell2566]

I will be speaking with CCS tomorrow from which point I believe they will be uploading results only to MyRacingBio.com and changing the links on their website as well.
