As some of you will know, Kim tested using the timing system to do 50m sprints at Darley Moor, preparing for the Worlds next year. Sprints are flying start, so with a run up, to see who can go fastest. It was mostly a success. A slight problem was that the laser beams used did not pick up some of the higher bikes. We have tape switches we hope to use instead, but they need testing. I'm wondering if we can forgo the usual 4 race format at Hillingdon and run two races plus sprints. This event is always pressed for time with the AGM to get through.

Scratch my suggestion. Kim thinks there are risks in using new stuff when we have to get season result out and endure an AGM.

Hi Kim, I'm getting a 403 Error (Forbidden Access) for the 'Times' page for Hillingdon II. No issues with the 'Points' page, or the 'Times' page of other events.

That's because they haven't been uploaded yet. There are various issues (a handful of lost lap times for various riders, What Actually Happened After The Crash, and dozens of false reads from Andy's spare helmet left behind the timing tent) that need to be worked through before they're fit for publication. There was also some sort of Exciting! New! timestamp bug pertaining to the video capture that complicates using it to resolve matters.
This may require quantities of arithmetic that are best left until I've had some sleep. (Yes, this means the points and championship table are best considered provisional for the time being, but the top three in each category are unlikely to be affected.) Off the top of my head, it would be helpful to know who did and didn't continue after the crash. Mark Howard's lap count and finish time in the second race would be useful too, as it doesn't look like his final lap was recorded.

Dan and Sean definitely stopped after the crash.
I think innocent victim Gary also stopped. |

Yep, I saw Gary walking back with his trike and spoke to him after the race. We weren't so sure about the others, as everyone who knew what had happened (quite reasonably) disappeared in a flurry of first-aid. Edited by Kim - 15 October 2023 at 11:06pm |

Right, I've got to the bottom of what happened to the second slow race. Basically, I pressed the wrong button: Today I learned that the "restart race" feature is *not* an undo button for a premature "finish race", but a way of performing a neutralised restart should the race be stopped due to an Incident, which causes unintuitive wrangling of the start times.
Fortunately, it was dead easy to re-construct the race from the Impinj log, at which point Geoff's missing times reappeared, and the timestamps all agreed with the video without anyone having to do any date/time arithmetic. Hurrah! The remaining issue of Mark Howard's finish time was also resolved: It turns out that he had employed stealth bomber tactics by turning his head towards the timing tent as he crossed the finish line, neatly aligning his timing tags end-on to the aerials and ensuring the radio signal flew straight past them! Fortunately this tactic did nothing for his IR profile, as the (now drainpipe-enhanced) beam-break still captured him on video where the RFID failed. The second fast race was flawless from a timing perspective. I've combined and published the results, and all the photos, and updated the points tables accordingly. None of the top three places in any of the categories have changed from what was announced at the AGM yesterday. If you see any outstanding issues, let me know.
