Guilty  ;D

*tech talk*

They are google gadgets that I added into a top block inside simple portal, that shows only on the race page. 

If it makes your page load slow or blinky, you can collapse it with the (http://208.109.198.140/Themes/black22_11final_tp/images/collapse.gif), and it will stay collapsed until you open it again.

Unfortunately, I think the google logos are stuck there.  I may be able to resize the table so it doesn't show, but it will still be there.

I am looking at other gadgets, like maybe a calender. Some already available ones are listed here:  http://www.google.com/webmasters/gadgets/

Or, you can make your own, I have made a couple simple html ones.

I'm not sure people who post spoilers are even able to read in the first place.

I find it as annoying as signature photos. I block them, can this be blocked as well?

This is awesome! Thanks!

A link to each series calendar would be awesome too.

I can wait for some racing!

Yes, but our simple portal interface is having some issues right now, so I can't get to the code to modify.  It will be in the plan though.

any chance of finding a better alternative that's "hour-accurate" instead of just a simple day? that way we can account for timezone differences.

could probably borrow the code from http://www.autosport.com/motogp/

That's a good idea.  I grabbed the script code, and I have it working locally on my machine.  But, I still can't get into our simple portal to add it or even delete the google gadgets.  It is a bug we are working on from smf and simple portal.

Simple portal may go away temporarily to fix it???
