[Dave_Darling]

Here are the questions from the 914 section of the 2014 Parade tech quiz. Several of the questions appear to have been written by "real" 914 folks; see for instance Q 53 answer a. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Pure luck crankshaft drive... What a novel idea that was! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

where are answers posted ??

[GeorgeRud]

They actually managed to have some printing/collating issues so some folks got handed the answer sheets rather than the test sheets!

There were a few events where a bit more planning could have been better planned. At the welcome party, they had four bars set up for the crowd (over 1400 people), so the lines were rediciously long. However, it was still a great time, and a record setting number of cars that participated.

Now we have to wait for the next Rennfest Reunion to have another excuse to visit Monterey!

It's a lot easier here than sitting in a room with fifty or so other people, at oh-ghod-hundred in the AM, with no breakfast and NO COFFEE! Not to mention that the tests got pretty screwed up...

I feel so ignorant! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I only missed #69 cause I had no idea. Never worked on a six.

I think we should start a thread and generate our own questions/answers for the next parade. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Class: Q06M

So, I didn't see an overall winner. Were the tests all model specific?

[Krieger]

E. All of the above.

[Krieger]

Good job Dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

[Dave_Darling]

So, I didn't see an overall winner. Were the tests all model specific?

All tests had 50 general questions, 25 model-specific questions, and 5 tie-breaker questions. Scores for the model-specific awards are calculated by (generals + 3*model-specific), and ties broken by tie-breakers. Scores for the overall awards are calculated by (3*generals + model-specific), again with ties broken by tie-breakers.

The overall winner was Manny Alban, who also happens to be the current president of PCA... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Interestingly enough, nobody got more model-specific questions right than I did--and Andrew Blyholder, another 914'er, was the only one to get just as many right as I did!

[dlkawashima]

I guess I don't understand how the scoring goes, but you had 107 points and Manny Alban had 103. Doesn't that make you the winner?

[theleschyouknow]

I guess I don't understand how the scoring goes, but you had 107 points and Manny Alban had 103. Doesn't that make you the winner?

me neither but if I'm reading right dbl d took model specific 107-102 shouldn't he have also taken overall 137 - 122?
great job either way trophies are for whiners
