How to correctly map ordered list items in FluentNHibernate

iRacing has made some pretty drastic changes to the scheduled some of the most popular series in the game. It seems they taken the desires of the majority, and in doing so are weaking the strength of the field in the game itself and therefore reducing it's value and going against it's own original mission statement.

It's that time of the Star Mazda season. Race 5 and Iowa. Iowa is an oval track and it's usually a wreck-fest. Partly because most of us roadies can't drive ovals and partly because a bunch of oval guys usually join in and cause chaos. Most decent driver treats it as a drop week and stays well clear of Iowa. Myself included, along with my usually SM buddies.

I'm not sure how many total weeks of my life I've spent on data import. Many. Maybe Hundreds. Also, every new project needs test data and usually we'll write INSERT INTO blah blah full scripts again and again. Here's a way to slightly reduce the amount of text that needs to be written/sent to the server AND make your scripts cleaner. Available Sql Server 2008 and up.

Race a different series and give yourself a break. You'll also increase your skillset.

How I got F1Speed to present an interface on mobile devices, using Nancy.

Week four was Zolder. It didn't go to plan. A busy week in the real world and an operating system upgrade to windows 8 meant I missed valuable track time and didn't get to race or qualify

Whats that? Chrome doesn't nicely convert date strings? new Date("19/11/2011") fails?!

"Arghh I've had a rubbish week. I keep getting taken out on track" This is a comment complaint every iRacer hears every now and then. Someone, it may even be you, is having a bad week or two or more. It seems every race they're in they are involved in some "idiot"'s crash. You know what I say? What's the common denominator? That driver! To be honest I started my iRacing career like this. I was getting into more incidents that I wasn't, when racing MX-5's It seemed almost every race I was getting hit by, or hitting someone, and it wasn't often the same person. Personally, I think it's because I came to the sport with an expectation I'd be as good against real people as I was against AI. Thing is, AI don't have emotions, but people do. And people don't want to lose, they don't want to get overtaken, and they'll shut the door. They also crash. They push hard, maybe too hard, and then they come off. I remember I would brake as late as possible as often as possible. I'd run on the ragged edge and I'd attempt a pass at the faintest wiff of an opportunity. I took this behaviour with me into the Skip Barber series too. Understaing respect, and learning racecraft early on will help you...

Bellbowrie cyclists need a better way to get out of town

Bellbowie is busy. We need a bridge not a bypass!

Laguna Seca: I did alright here last season. Had a race win and some other good results. What will a lack of practice bring? Mixed results, that's what - and a near win.
