*** WEBCAST DETAILS

Sorry about the trouble this afternoon with the broadcast. The morning sessions ran well, but the afternoon session didn't. Links to all the sessions can be found at http://www.thunderfest.com/raceweek/coverage.html The sessions that have already run are archived for your enjoyment at any time.

On the "Powerboat" email list I made the 'clear your browser cache' suggestion before knowing the webcast was broken at the server end. The problem exhibited itself as stalling on "Loading..." then mentioning net congestion and "trying for 60 seconds" which is the symptom everyone reported. A set of servers that were rebooted failed to come back up properly. It was not a bandwidth issue, and we don't think there will be.

Tomorrow's show will use cameras located in Pit Corner, on top of Pit Tower, and at the far end of the bleachers. I believe that tomorrows live coverage will be much more successful and enjoyable - see you there!

*** RACE RESULTS

Continue to tune to http://www.hydros.org for Chuck Moore's coverage of the Unlimiteds and Lights on Sunday. For the other classes, I'll get those results posted as soon as I can. With my focus on webcast support, it may be Monday until the results are complete.
