Given the fact we are in the 21st and all this technology around us, shame on these guys for not being able to live post all times to their SCTA website... Database linking isn't really that hard, not sure why its not being done.... Despite discrepancies, those can always be fixed later or on the fly. Maybe the wrong folks are in charge of the technology.
I'm going to sound like the mean guy here, and please don't take this personally, but to anybody who thinks any of this is easy -
It might seem easy - but think about this -
We're talking about a crew of volunteers who show up at oh-god thirty in the morning to facilitate an event with 650 participants, work until sundown on a blazing hot salt pan, go back to their hotel/camper/tent, and get up the next day and do it all again.
This event would die if not for the volunteers, and transcribing down runs for those of us unfortunate, or unlucky enough, or simply unable to show up is a low priority.
I think that the down runs were posted at all on Sunday for Saturday's racing is nothing short of miraculous.
Regarding discrepancies, this is a sport that lives and dies by numbers. Personally, I'd rather see an accurate accounting later than mistakes crossed out in retrospect.
As to the wrong folks in charge - they're always looking for volunteers.
Yes, instant numbers would be nice. But accurate accounting is paramount.
It's really not as easy as it seems.
