I Have been doing this since 2008 6 Years never got a Migraine  never did Acid

Just so much Simpler picking out colors then picking out of everything done in Black & White

And i am Viewing this on a 37 Inch Screen so it looks fine to me , I imagine on a tiny I Phone it would be hard to read, NEVER BEEN a fan of tiny I Phone Screens

The Bigger the screen the Better the Lines matchup

& I am old and set in my ways been doing it this way for years, not going to change

as The Song Goes I DID IT MY WAY

Hope this HELPS

Umm. No thanks

Change to a gray background and it will be much more tolerable...

I don't think this dude's getting the message....

Dude, you do great work and put more effort into it than necessary, believe us.  It speaks volumes that you are that into it to come up with all the color codes and meanings but the vast majority of us simply want to read the wonderful results you compiled, plain and simple, the easier the better.  The word overkill is an understatement to all this, heck just do your site the way Dave Blaney has always driven, SMOOTH and EASY but getting the job done, heck you're a combination of Danny Coggelshell and Jac (when he's having a bad night).  I have never had a migraine but I have done acid and it's not nearly this difficult, believe me again......

Shit that explanation is as difficult to read as the results pages! WTF??

Cheers!

I love the colors! Keep up the great work.

Do the colors add value?

I prefer the colors also.  Just ignore the unthankful people.

The only way anyone could possibly find that enjoyable is with a bong and a sack of california's finest. 

305's are the herpes of sprint cars

Not going to waste my time trying to remember what each color means. Bottom line, all the color makes it very difficult to read. To bad, you do have a lot of info. Just sad you can not post it in a way that is easy to read.

Thanks for the explanation & effort, but....

Too much information, you're overthinking everything & making it complicated.

Are we supposed to print out your explanation & tape it to our wall so we can decipher it all?

But since you said you're not changing, thanks anyway

I can figure it out if I have to

Carry on

" never did Acid"

maybe you should????

if you implement a button to select Black and White TV Mode in the future let us know...

Thanks for the explaination.  It's always good to know the cause of my migraines.

the explanation hurt my head worse than the results list.

to indy and beyond!!

Definitely thankful, you're doing something for yourself and kind enough to share it. I understand that when you do it for free you are free to do it your way. 

That said, anyone who has access to similar data and would like to work together to display lots of raw sprint car data in an elegant way for as many fans as possible, say hey. 

I can do the web part and I dabble in UX : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience_design
