DHHR NEWS!!!

The Grand National Cross-Country Series (GNCC) has switched its scoring system from bar-code to transponder scoring. What is a transponder? Well for all of you non-racers, it’s pretty much the same thing as EZPass but for dirt bikes. It allows the riders to come through the scoring scanner without having to stop. The previous barcode scoring made the riders come to a complete stop and a track official had to scan a barcode on the side of your helmet, similar to one you would find in the supermarket. So what does this all mean to you? Now that the series is using a transponder scoring system they also bought a satellite to broadcast the race live in real time. So this Sunday when the DHaggs Harescramble Race team is out on the track on Sunday, you can sit at home and follow us through each lap that we complete. It’s really simple and if you’re around the computer you can just leave the screen up and follow as the race goes on.
What you need to do is to go to http://www.gnccracing.com/ and at the top of the page they have a graphic that reads “Live Time Scoring,” just click on that and an other window will pop up. There will be a black box that reads Live Event Results in the left corner. In the right corner will be a drop down box with a selection of classes to choose from. All’s you have to do is select the class and then all of the racers that are competing in that class with appear on the screen. As the race goes on and each racer comes through the scanner each lap, their row on the screen will flash RED and then will adjust accordingly depending on their placement when the lap is completed. If you want to see how only one specific rider is doing, then you just click on their name and it will give you lap for lap and some more information. When you see the time behind column that means that is the elapsed time from the rider who is in the position directly in front of you. So if you are in 10th and it reads Time Behind: 00:01:82 then you are one minute and eighty two seconds behind 9th place. All of the other columns are self explanatory.
DHaggs Sr. #099 will be racing a KTM in the Super Senior B (45+) class on Sunday morning at 10:00am.
DHaggs Jr. #925 will be racing a KTM in the 250 A class on Sunday afternoon at 1:00am.
I think I made it pretty darn easy for you to root us on! If you are confused or something is not showing up or you feel as if your computer is freezing up, well then they may be having difficulties getting a signal from the satellite because of the location of the track. They did have this problem before but they say that it has been fixed. Regardless this is how it all should work so on Sunday give it a try. Thanks for all of your Support!
See you when we get back…
