Same problem here - looks like I'll miss the first race of the winter series
:(

Have fun wherever it is.

Regards

This should not be the case, assuming you are running Win2K or WinXP.  Under
these two operating systems, if they are running the ACPI HAL (and it would
be very, very odd if your system isn't), ACPI takes care of IRQ sharing
quite nicely.

In fact, ACPI has removed one of the great down-sides to the PC
architecture, the management of the limited number of IRQ's available.

On ACPI systems running 2K/XP, it is not uncommon to see 4, 6 or more
devices sharing the same IRQ, and having no problems.

If you ARE having issues with IRQ's under the above operating systems, and
your system is running ACPI (as it should be), then your issue is with
improper drivers, software or hardware.

These days, with hardware/drivers written within the last 2 years, this
issue should be a memory.

If you are running Windows 95/98 then you're on your own :)

I agree.  We have two or three guys that tend to win all the races.  And
that's ok with me.  But by having a points system, the mere mortals amongst
us have a chance when on the rare occasion they can't make races or get
taken out by an unfortunate incident.

It also makes it more important to make it to EVERY race that you can, and
rewards those who take the time and come to every race possible, practice as
much as possible, and finish as high as possible.

It ain't over until the end of the season :)

Congrats to Neil, Ginger, and Larry and thanks to everyone for the hard work
and effort they put into RASCAR. I have had a really great time racing with
you guys and look forward to more of the same in the trucks and the 2004
season. I'm just a mid to rear of the pack racer, but managed to get in the
top 15. I think points will add to the fun next year.

Also, it gives you a benchmark or a sprinboard off of which future
improvements can be gauged. I'm definately guning for top 10 honours next
season....

I like points as well, for the same reason.

WooHOO!  Ok, it sucks, but considering I ran less than half the events(and
DNF'd in several), I'll take a top 20...<g>
