President’s Message – June 2014

May was a quiet month for Autoslalom but did see the first Time Attack/Lapping day for the year. The turnout was light for both the Time Attack and the Lapping but the weather cooperated for a good day of racing.

We have two more Lapping days scheduled this year but due to the low attendance we may need to reevaluate the July date. We will also be hosting one more Time Attack which will be combined with a Lapping day in September.

I know the road racing season has begun as trucks and trailers haul their race car cargos to points off Island. All the best to you all.

We changed our timing gear and software this year and have been enjoying some different track layouts because of the wireless capability. A new feature the developer just added is being able to broadcast the results on a local wifi network. We trialed this at the Time Attack and were please to see how it worked. This will now give competitors a chance to see their results on their smart phones as soon as they cross the line.

As I write this on the morning of June 1 (I know, nothing like waiting until the last minute), I look out and see the gorgeous day ahead of us. Spring Series III will be running in a few hours and I’m sure we’ll get a full house to go along with the great weather.

I look forward to seeing you all later today or at an event in the near future.

Cheers,

Karl Rhynas
