I'm not sure I'm reading you on that, Randy. We certainly will take all the new personal bests from Columbus and load them into the drag lists... Danny will probably do that over the next few days... was that your question? bp

That was my poor worded question BP. I was wondering if there was a way to have that info moved into the lists. It sounds like it is a manual deal, but at least it is going there so they stay current.

Thanks for responding to a dumb question. :oops:

Hey! It's not a dumb question at all! And we are much better equipped with the new lists to get it in there faster. It would be hard to automate it much more unless we had some sort of feed right out of the timing system. What we really need are more people to help feed the info in there, but I'm not in the position to pay anybody to do it. I depend on a network of terrific volunteers, led by Danny White. Our goal this year is to get the data updated within a week or so... with the old lists, the average time for update was at least three months... bp

Thanks, guys. We appreciate it. Danny is invaluable and guess what? His wife Gena is getting into the act with draglist updates, plus stories and pics! Even WC1 went up and edited 25 entries yesterday! Go Cat! We track all the folks who help out with the lists... I used to have about 7000 points, but I told Brian to kill all those because I want everyone who helps to keep their names up there... bp
