Cliff,
Looks like the new camera is working very well.
Mark[/quote]Thanks Mark. My hit rate is pretty low with this camera due to the lack of focus tracking capability that contrast-detect autofocus provides. I took 200 photos yesterday and only liked 10 of them well enough to share them. That’s a pretty bad keeper ratio.
Here are a few from run group 2: http://www.coates3.com/gallery2/v/cars/drives/bmwcca/autox/2013/20130407/

I have a rhoplate holder in my trunk in case I get another fixit ticket. I had a plate holder from gominigo for my Z4MC for the same reason, and it spent most of its days in the same location (trunk). They both look like crap mounted, but they only need to be there long enough for me to collect a signature. The gominigo holder seems a bit easier to put together.
[quote=”klinquist” post=1197]Your car only has 4hp? 🙂
(Or did you mean 4 additional hp? That would mean about 195hp (225*.85)+4).I’d rather only have one box where you can type in hp amount, I’ll try to clarify the wording there.[/quote]
I was trying to add the 3.5hp that Shark says their software is worth on their dyno charts and it finally dawned on me that I was being classified as a 4 wheel moped. I figured out your system and calculated 194 to come up with my number from last season (the cat-back exhaust is worth a 25 pound weight reduction but no horsepower as far as I know – or can feel in my butt dyno). Another area where you might see some confusion is with wheel widths. I know that my fronts are 1″ wider than the standard sport package fronts, but they’re only 0.5″ wider than the upgraded 18″ wheels I ordered with the car.
[quote=”klinquist” post=1193]Can you email me this screen shot please? It didn’t come through.

Also – try a different browser just for kicks.
Thanks![/quote]
See above. And Safari behaves the same as Firefox.
[quote=”klinquist” post=1191]Check your email… I haven’t touched Joomla (our CMS’s) existing users or password reset system.[/quote]
I found the screen where I can change my system generated password back to one I’ll remember, so that part is good I am still not able to log into the classification system. Here’s a screen cap – you will notice that I am being asked to log in despite the top bar indicating that I am already logged in. Login attempts to the pink area fail, and I am not presented with an option to save my classification if I ignore the login screen and go straight to that part of the site.

Hmmm…

[quote=”klinquist” post=1189]It’s using the same db as this page (the autocross forums).
If you can login to the forums here (try logging out and back in), you can login to the autocross system.[/quote]
That was my understanding of how it worked. There must be a defect in the software someplace, because it is not working that way in practice, at least not for me. I also seem to have lost my ability to change my password back to something I am likely to remember, too.
[quote=”jeffroberts” post=1181]We will also have a demo of some new software we’re looking at so people can see live results on their mobile devices.[/quote]
