Default Rennpoints been abandoned?

I'm not complaining as it is the best racing site for us in existence but it hasn't been updated this year that I see. I think Brian (?) was the innovator/caretaker, is there anything I can do to help? I very much appreciate the site, as i'm sure many here do...

There have been updates this year, for example TWS results are posted, as are the 2012 National Champions.

http://rennpoints.com/driverhistory/?search=Jim+Buckley

It seems as though if PCA is running a National Points Championship there should be an easy way to see current standings at all times. Rennpoints is great, but it looks to be slow in being updated.

Gary, I am with you, in that I am not complaining, I just wish it was more current. Perhaps PCA should take it over, or perhaps MyLaps could provide a report as an alternate.

I believe all the data was coming from MyLaps which, as you know, has been FUBARed for several months. Maybe RP will get caught up and keep up again soon. I checked yesterday and nothing since April-ish.

That would make sense, and yes, MyLaps is useless now.

Sorry about the status of RennPoints lately... The way mylaps changed really messed with my whole automation setup.

I've updated the code and everything should be up to date now. However, I had to change my algorithm of how I tie out racer names to unique identifiers within my database. So... if you notice any issues, please let me know and I'll try to get it fixed as quickly as possible.

Brain, many thanks for your work!

Any chance you could change me from Zone 0 to Zone 1?

Brian - I see the ARCA race is up but it has Chicane times, they are not running the chicane configuration. Is the issue that you can only have one track in there at any one time and the August TBolt race is up also?

Very Nice - Thank You.

I note the COTA results are posted but the name of the venue is not listed, and I don't see COTA in the lap record section.

Thanks again for feeding our addiction.
