"Detailed Results" question. Have not been able to see the Graphs portion of the Results for quite a while. Is there a setting I need to change? Just wondering.

Hey Tex,

I just loaded the Results Doc and the graphs on the Graphs tab showed up as did the graphs in the Monthly tab.

They did take quite a bit of time though.

If you can give it another look and let me know if you can see them or not, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks
 
Cheeb, since bandit was promoted, you can slide me into primary host. 34 down 15ish up and a ping of 15 or less. Don't think people will mind.

Good stuff, thanks Rally 👍 zer0 will get the roles updated when he can.

I have some work to do tonight to get any gaps in Division roles filled. Will be posting another S.N.A.I.L. Classified when my poop is sufficiently piled :lol:

Awwwwe Riiiiight! You guys freaking rock!! I had every intention of getting a "Help Wanted" post up tonight for a new D4 host. My connection has held it together in the past when Bandit was absent but not ideal.

We will miss those that have moved on but welcome the new D4 drivers. Just keep in mind that it IS D4. Dig out you Hawaiian shirts and ditch your time keeping devices this Sunday! (Cigarettes rolled into the sleeve of a white t-shirt and Duck tails are also acceptable)

I still need a invite from D4

Fox,
Can you host / direct practice for REd room tonight? The usuals will not be hosting. I cannot make practice tonight either.

With that said, the SNAILIEN room also needs a host. Please let me know ASAP if you can and are willing to host.

Send PM with the room number and Ill post it at 9:45pm.

OP UPDATE NEEDED:

Mazda Roadster TC - 213HP / 484PP

GT by Citroën Road - 526HP / 575PP
 
Alright…so when I joined you Snails a year ago, I found out quickly that I wasn't ready for such a place. So I took many months off with plans to get better, well the time really never got put in… So I started back up a few months ago practicing with plans to improve my skill and rejoined the league. I now have 2 races under the belt. The 1st time out was a bit of a disaster, but was able to pull off some 3rd place finishes the second time out…made a few adjustments that seemed to work.

Based on this, I knew that I needed to do more to improve…so I figured why not leverage the data you guys work hard to capture to better understand how poorly I drive and begin building out a foundation of how much I need to improve.

The output attached is based on one weekend (8/25), but still gives a good baseline of who's fast and well…who's not so fast-yet. The results are average lap times (not fastest). If you didn't complete a minimum of one of each of the 3 races, you were dropped from the stats… I also created splits at every 2 seconds in lap time from fastest to slowest…or until there was a minimum of 4 splits to better understand how each Snail aligns to both split times and division.

Based on this I found some interesting facts…

(1) Overall the results show the league has done a great job keeping racers in the right division..even with all the posts over the past few weeks. As you review the slits, you will see the % of divers from Division 1 to 5 reduce or increase from fastest to slowest…pretty clean if you ask me.

(2) The average gap is 10 seconds between the fastest and slowest driver in the entire league…no matter what track…that's impressive. The gap of 10 seconds is no easy feat…but well, it is what it is…and shows that every second counts…

(3) I'm much slower than I anticipated…much, much, much slower….which is why I'm sharing this with everyone. I believe you will find some learnings in this to help improve your craft as well…

I look forward to learning more from you Snails as time goes on…I'm hooked on racing…this is a great league.

nice graphs. What does it look like if you do the splits at 1% instead of a fixed number of seconds? For example split 1 would be everyone within 1% of the fastest time. Then the next split would be everyone within 1% of the fastest time in split 2. Just curious.

Dude, that's so awesome 👍 Thanks for taking the time to put that together, it's really appreciated!

I need your ideas! If you have any thoughts or additions you'd like to see from the mountain of numbers we've collected, I'm all ears!

:cheers:

As was mentioned earlier, the Speed Secrets Series is good at laying the fundamentals out. Easy to understand and apply, so glad I read them (over and over again) 👍

The splits would reduce down to 1.1 to 1.5 second splits. I didn't want to create overkill...but give some high-level guidance on where we stand. I can do more as the weeks progress...

No worries....will think of some ideas and let you know.

Thanks for the reminder on speed secrets....need to invest time in that next.
 
First thank you for those graphs.

I'd love to see those graphs after each week. Really allows the data to be read and understood with ease.

Then a monthly graph could be done and this would be idea for promotions / relegations purposes.
 
ATTENTION! IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!​

All requests for information have been sent via PM. If you are an active driver and have not received a PM from me regarding a request for information. Please let me know.

Thanks to all who have responded so far.

Current status of completion of this phase, by Division;

D1 - 41%
D2 - 50%
D3 - 67%
D4 - 39%
D5 - 38%
New SNAILs - 0%

League overall - 41%

kcheeb - Thank you for mentioning the Ross Bentley books. Seems like they were mentioned earlier in the thread, but I couldn't find/remember the details. Just ordered the first book ........ "Racing 101", you might say. Look forward to reading, adjusting and improving (I hope).

No problem Tex. If you apply the concepts he talks about, I have no doubt you'll improve.

I like to learn by reading how to do things, then trying them out and also watching people better than I. More times than I can count, I've had ah ha moments, where I could relate something that happened on track to what was said in the books. Cool stuff.
