RE: TNH Modern Season 17, Race 3
I'll be in DC for work on the 26th (which is why I'm glad Mickey took over running the races). See everyone for race 4.

RE: TNH Modern Season 17, Race 1
With two new rookies on the circuit, there were 11 boats for the season opener. Defending champion Jeff Dewalt had a tough call in his first heat and was the victim of a collision in the final to have a disappointing star to the defense of his first title. John Steach piloted the Miss Wazzu to a near perfect day in spite of the new start rules (winning is a rarity for WSU but we will take what we can get). Mickey Washburn is again in second place but positioned well with the next two races away from the SD course.

TNH Modern Season 17, Race 1
Our first race of the new season is this Wednesday (March 8th), the Evansville Thunder on the Ohio (San Diego Course). Qualifying starts at 6:30 PST.
Remember we have new starting procedures.
80 mph minimum but have the following changes:
Add in one warning as long as it is less than 2 seconds. Define three DMZ areas on each course where milling is not allowed at any time. A. A circle defined by both corner turns mirrored across the entrance and exit buoys. B. An oval defined by the start/finish line buoy, the buoy just before or after the S/F line, and the two buoys on the backstretch opposite them. i. At SD, this is the island using the lights course markers and the buoy before the S/F line. ii. At Madison, this is the buoy before the S/F line using the lights course. iii. At Detroit, it is the lights course marker and the S/F line buoy. Allow for cutting from the front stretch to the backstretch between the S/F line on the last milling lap so long as you do not enter the DMZ. However, when you cut you must pass two buoys before you have established a lane.

RE: Win 10 Throttle Issue
A thrustmaster. However, the gas on the keyboard won't work either. In setup the wheel and pedals react normally but the boat won't move.

Win 10 Throttle Issue
I'm trying to get a friend set up to race on a Win 10 laptop and have two issues. We installed the Direct X 9 Runtime update and restarted but still have these issues.
- We can't get the throttle to work with either the keyboard or his wheel. Running in standalone, the boat just sits at the doc and drifts a few feet forward. You can see the wheel and petals communicating in the setup window and by mapping views to the wheel, we are able to change views. (This sounds like what Jeff had during the last season).
- We are not able to get onto a course on the UHL2 server. We can log into the server, but when we try to load a course, we get a windows crashed message and the game crashes.
Any advice or help is appreciated.

RE: TNH Modern Season 17
Here is the link to the Google.doc for the next season:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zc78MR6uBWEvGaWF_vTel8wU9YDk8cquXkJdr-BdZy8/edit?usp=sharing
I would also propose we try something new for the starting procedure to align with the current H1 Unlimiteds. We would stay with the 80 mph minimum but have the following changes:
- Add in one warning as long as it is less than 2 seconds.
- Define three DMZ areas on each course where milling is not allowed at any time.
A. A circle defined by both corner turns mirrored across the entrance and exit buoys.
B. An oval defined by the start/finish line buoy, the buoy just before or after the S/F line, and the two buoys on the backstretch opposite them.
i. At SD, this is the island using the lights course markers and the buoy before the S/F line.
ii. At Madison, this is the buoy before the S/F line using the lights course.
iii. At Detroit, it is the lights course marker and the S/F line buoy. - Allow for cutting from the front stretch to the backstretch between the S/F line on the last milling lap so long as you do not enter the DMZ.
When you sign up for your boat, please vote on proposed starting rule changes 1, 2 and 3 with a yes/no response.
i.e. Steach - U-00 Miss WAZZU
1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - Yes -
TNH Modern Season 17
Here is my disclaimer, due to some shifting in my job, I may not be able to make all of the races or continue to run the race schedule after this spring and even possibly during this season. I am looking for someone to at least co-administer this season with the goal of taking over. Please let me know if you are interested. Running a season consist of the following:
- Create the race schedule. As administrator, you get to work it around your schedule. You can either use a past season as a template or completely make it up.
- Set up the google.doc for season administration. (I can help you with this even in the future)
- Run the race nights which consists of documenting results, starting qualifying, setting all heat draws (the spreadsheet does this with a random number generator), starting heats, posting results after the race, and being the final say on all penalty calls. (See, it's not really that much)
THN Modern Season 17 (Except on Wednesdays) is here! For the 2017 season 17, we are opening up selection to any of the modern boats (including the UHL specific boats that never actually raced). The season is based on 2005 with the addition of Doha to get a total of 8 races. All races will start qualification at 6:30 Pacific time. We will have two rounds of qualification, three sets of preliminary heats, a consolation (if needed) and a winner-take-all final. The Gold Cup will have a 4th set of preliminary heats. 80 MPH minimum milling speed will be enforced with no warnings but a 1 minute penalty assessed.
March 8th - Evansville, Thunder on the Ohio (San Diego Course)
March 29th - Indiana Governor's Cup - Madison
April 19th - Crysler-Jeep APBA Gold Cup - Detroit
May 4th - Budweiser Columbia Cup - Tri-Cities (San Diego Course)
May 17th - Seattle Chevrolet Cup (Madison Course)
May 31st - Nashville, Music City Hydrofest (Detroit Course)
June 14th - San Diego, Bill Muncey Cup
June 28th - Doha, ORYX Cup, UIM World Championship (Madison Course)Race dates are subject to change based upon unforeseen needed adjustments in my work schedule or other requests of any regularly attending driver.
Boat Selection will be in order of finish from last season with newcomers on a first come-first serve after those earning points have finished their selection. Selections must be completed prior to February 28th to allow the new drivers to select (newcomers can post on this forum a list of boats in priority order to reserve a boat if it is not taken).

RE: TNH Modern Season 16
In yet another close season finish, the season came down to the final heat with three boats/drivers capable of winning. In a surprise finiale, Beau Rarig shocked the field with his first win and Jeff Dewalt held on to win the season. John Steach edged Mickey Washburn for 2nd by 22 points (reminiscent of last seasons 1-2 finish).

TNH Moderen Season 16, Race 8
Will Dewalt be able to hold on for his first season title? Will he play it safe or go for his second race win of the season? Will the Steach and the Pay-n-Pak continue his dominance on the SD course and if so, will it be enough to overcome a 461 point deficit? Will Mickey Washburn in the Madison sneak through to made up 323 points and take the title after a disappointing second place finish last season by 151 points.
The final race of the Modern '16 Season is January 25th with qualifying starting at 6:30 PST. Show up to find out how this nail-biter will end!

RE: TNH Modern Season 16, Race 7
In an exciting night of racing that saw five different preliminary heat winners from a variety of lanes, Jeff Dewalt in the U-4 Pocket Saver Plus notched his first win of the season. Overcoming a slow qualification time and a disappointing heat 3B fourth place finish, the U-4 overtook the Pay-n-Pak (who nailed the start from the outside) at the end of lap 1 and never looked back. With the final heat victory, the U-4 stretched the season lead to 323 over the U-6 Holset Miss Madison and 461 over the U-25 Pak.

TNH Modern Season 16, Race 7
With two races remaining and only 252 points separating the top three boats, the fleet heads to Watkins Glen NY: Thunder in the Glen World Championship (to be run on the Detroit course). Qualifying will again start at 6:30 PM (PST) sharp on Jan 11th, 2017. With only seven boats participating in the Gold Cup, we are hoping for a larger field to finish out the season.
