Harry, maybe this post needs to be pinned to the top nice info on the first page..

I got it! Each time I tried to go to ORW, I was using a link that went to ORHQ! Just a coincidence of timing. I saw the changed title on the index where the link to the oval section was last night, and was sure that was the new part all this time. Today, I tried again but was here when I went there, so the link at the top here sent me to a place I had never seen. The titles were so similar, I completely misunderstood, and just happened to go looking for it from the index instead of coming back to this subject for the link.

Now I've seen it, I understand why Harry was trying to make me understand that the structure of the whole shebang was the key. With the vocabulary comes knowledge of the structure, and I am still just feeling my through with the vocab of internet stuff. I think I relied on my youngest son for too long to answer questions all this time, and I never learned it properly. When I re-read this whole thing, I could just see Harry with steam coming out of his ears and shaking his head while going ALL CAPS and Boldface trying to get through to me speaking a language I didn't understand.

No worries. And it WASN'T steam...family forum so I will leave it at that :)

More tracks, links, etc, coming. I am adding a LOT of direct reference in the links section to help folks have it a little easier to find things.

I was giggling when I figured out where and how I got lost. Here I am, Mr. Smartguy, completely dumbfounded by something everybody else knows.

A long time ago, I went to Mexico with my folks and my father, who was by all reports this very smart man, would speak loudly and distinctly (in English!), to the Mexican folks he tried to get directions from. I remember my mother finally saying, after a couple of these encounters, "They aren't deaf, Bob, they just don't speak English!" For a second there was silence, then all 7 of us exploded in laughter, the 4 Mexican guys and my family, all standing there in the plaza, which happened to be in front of the building we were looking for. From then on, my mother did the talking in those situations, broken Spanish and all. Dad just sat there being quiet and I sat in the back seat and smiled.

Trust me Rob, not everyone knows the language.

I'm sorry to be so stupid, but save me some studying time, if you can. To have the same kind of access to the new oval site, I should bookmark it the same way I did the HRW portal, right? They are equal but not the same? That's it, right?

Never mind! I just saw where this post went to, and I am at last all set (like everyone else was from the beginning...).

A little late to the party (been partying too much over the holidays...) - great idea and thank you for a forum dedicated to oval track racing!! Look for some SCC/SCCC announcements throughout 2015 that will be of interest to oval track racers.

:text-bravo:

I look forward to them. Having good quality parts to build our models with is always welcomed.

The more toys the merrier. :)

Thanks all for the support. Hope more folks join in the craziness.
