Scott and Warren what do you guys think of: on the message board under car pics ..next race we can have the best of show car " be the main pic for that months race? then you click on that car to see the other cars for that months race?

Thats a good idea, but I don't think there is a show class right now. Maybe just randomly pick a car each month to use as the link picture??? Anyone else have an idea?

we could set up a poll for the car to use each month, or we let Mrs. Warthog pick one. ;D
We have found that doing a "Show category" would take lots more time (and energy) so as of now it is delayed . . . may be based on photos etc when time allows.

that sound good ... What do you think about having the racers points to date as a heading in a link on the home page ? since Jim is doing a great job and it would be easier to access...??

Thanks for the Kudos. It's really easy though since I started doing it back in 2005 for the WIRL races.
I think that the photo vote thing is a good thought.
What about this? After being at the last live feed, it was nice that you were giving the times but sometimes your mic would break up and I personally couldn't always hear the times. Would there be any way to post the times using the Web camera? Or better yet maybe a software engineer could write a program that would automatically post the times to Yahoo as they happen. ;D

So, you want TWO live feeds! One being the web cam and the other being the GPRM Race screen?
I'll have to think about that one. . . Ok, it looks like it can be done with Yahoo messanger and a plugin - Unyte-Lyte . . .
Don't know how the web-cam and Unyte-Lyte play together but it would be great it the web-cam stayed on top, the Screen sharing next and the conference window hidden behind the others.
Any one want to test? I have it installed . . .

Could you have a constant live mic to add presence and an anouncer mic for information, I think that would make it more like a live race,

Ok, we got Yahoo to share one screen with ONE user. Could not get multi user functionality. . . still going to look around for something.
I could add the audio mixer to take two mikes or just set up the PA and use the line-out from that to the web-cam input. At the first race we had a PA built in to the room so that was being used for the announcing - constant volume and louder then the background when being used.

Hey warren i agree with you on sat... if we can have 2 people at the computers then 1 can run the race program and the other with chat, or with a few more practices I think I could handle it all!

They were the car names I could remember. I can change them if anyone wants. The Rascal was selected to represent the Hot Rod 66 division. I figured that the Moose should be the used since it is a FAST car. The F1 was chosen because it is symbolic of my entering a race finally. Suggestions for other photo tags?
