Yes, well, within reason. I don't do place like Fargo, Rillito, Grants Pass and the like that don't time races or do only final times by hand.

The game is all about RACING yet no can figure our how to TIME.
Really pathetic.

Evd should contact some random high school and ask to talk to the track coach.

Idiots galore.

Will Rogers Downs isn't far behind either, routinely missing some or all fractions for many races.

Been that way last couple of years. And to think we haven't run a grass race yet.

Yeah, I just get worn down by tracks like this. The sad thing is nobody seems to give a shit, they just accept it.

I haven't gotten to that card yet, should be entertaining.

Just looked at my worksheet, two other races at the 5.5f distance projected variant of 13 points fast, the last race 43 points...LOLOL. Great game we play where times are off by that much in a RACE.

The track management at EvD clearly doesn't care, because it keeps happening.

May be time to flood the track with email inquiries as to why they are so incompetent.

They'll be too incompetent to reply, or maybe even to open your e-mail.

Do you attempt to hand time when you see this type of stuff, then adjust your numbers accordingly?
