PCA SDR

I'm getting inquiries from drivers wondering why the time posting procedures have changed for Time Trials. Notice of the change was sent out to participants in the upcoming California Festival of Speed so if you are one of these people and you aren't aware of the change then please read your e-mails as there's lots of other important info you need to know. For those not participating, the notice said:

Due to current PCA National regulations, NO results (even for practice sessions) will be publicly posted until after the event concludes on Sunday. However, we will be recording your lap times and using them to ensure you are in the proper run group, to periodically reorder grid positions, and to determine your starting position and group assignment during Timed Runs on Sunday. A transponder is still required for this event, so please be sure you always have yours on your vehicle and that it is on. Following the event, all lap times will be available at http://results.pcasdr.org/pca.php?database=tt. Note that the use of personal in-car timing systems (e.g., Hot Lap, GPS-based systems, etc.) IS still allowed as well.

The reason for the change is that, in PCA National's current opinion, a Time Trial is actually a DE (which by definition involves no posting of times), followed by a final session in which cars are timed and results are posted (i.e., Timed Runs). Until such time as a new event category is defined, or the definition of a TT is redefined, no posting is allowed. Note that this change ONLY involves posting of times; nothing else about the events you are used to will be any different. We are working on getting this changed, so please bear with us.
