Wiscombe This Weekend

Part 1 of The Ladybird Book of - Things to Make and Do with “wet string”:

If you’ll excuse a back-of fag-packet calculation…

1 A single run could be described, in terms of results, in 100 characters (bytes).
2 May I pretend that’s 1000 bits? (forgive me - I’m working on a fag packet).
3 Let’s say your venue is pretty damn good & can get a car up every 20 seconds.
4 Does that mean you need an upload bandwidth of 1000/20, i.e. 50 bits per second?

It’s quite possible that I am indeed taking the piss.

Acording to the Usage monitor it's about 5MB for a days meeting

If the poor old start line crew can manage 500 starts, I guess we must get 10,000 bytes apiece per run to reach 5MB. Think of how many racing driver’s excuses we could fit in the spare 9,900?

I write with the authority of one who helped program the original traffic warning messages on the M25. So, if you are ever troubled by a message like “warning fag ahead”, it could just be one of my originals still circulating looking for its final destination.

However, I take your point & have no problem in grovelling in order to get a time, any time, just not a DNF.

See you on Saturday.

In nearly 30 years of timing, I've never been asked to do that (at least, not for a competitor's own runs ).

Can it be done and how much does it cost per car
