Sounds like a grand weekend had by all. A dose of fiendish flu meant I had to scratch on Friday. Thanks to Anne for tearing up the cheque at such short notice!
We were worried about you when you were a no show. Tried to get a number for you to check everything was ok but failed.Hope you're feeling a bit better now.
See you at Golspie (maybe).
Cheers,
Eric

That may not have happened at other events.Gizmo1314 said:
Just been out to my car with Laptop (and a serial cable which was the thing I lacked on Sunday) and fixed it in 5 secs, how Scunnered am I ?
If you had said that on Sunday, I could have popped along to work and got one for you - would have taken me about 25 minutes round trip Gizmo1314 said:

Moral of the tale - next time ask! I am sure that Wallace Menzies has a laptop for the Firehawk systems, so he would probably have a serial cable?Gizmo1314 said:
I kinda simplified that a wee bit, new laptop, no serial ports, usb to serial cable comes up as Com5, software only offers Com1-4 and software is bespoke.
I'm actually scunnered because I've been awaiting/promised delivery of a spare box since God was a boy.

I could have easily went for a laptop and serial cable if you had the software to install, or copy via USB drive. Time to really push for s spare box, the parts to make one yourself or look for alternative options.I'm actually scunnered because I've been awaiting/promised delivery of a spare box since God was a boy.

I think that the happy faces at the prize-giving on both days - despite the changeable weather - was the best indication of just how much all the work done by GAC to get the hill ready and to run the event is appreciated.I would have to say that, as CoC, GAC made my job very easy, so a big THANK YOU from me to all the GAC people who made it happen. All I had to worry about was when I was going to find another excuse to use the course car - and by the way, respect to those of you who drive those things in anger - you do know that you are nuts, don't you?.....

Thanks to the small band of helpers that made it to the work parties and the officials, marshals etc. for a great weekend.
P.S. I have just discovered I was only getting about half throttle, and probably been like that for most of this season
To be honest probably didn't make a big difference (only a few hundredths ) and Fintray, but explains the lack of speed in the higher gears at other events such as Lossimouth, Alford, Boyndie, Knockhill, 3 Sisters, MIRA, Anglessey, etc.P.S. I have just discovered I was only getting about half throttle, and probably been like that for most of this season
