what does "DNS" mean in autocross results?

[Digitalwave]

Did not start/show?

Yeah, think it's Start. It's the only logical meaning if DNF is Did Not Finish. I didn't do my last run at the last autocross I went to and they put a DNS on the board.

wtf. i did all my runs and they put me as DNS under novice, but they put all my times under DSP. gay. my time owned all the other novice times too.

[Snowmann]

the reason he didnt do his last run is that there was a certain other alpine white e30 kickin everyones ass ;) so he didnt bother for risk of being humilated *end cockyness*

Did you do your corner work? I've seen them do that if you don't do the work.

brodee- i recieved the DNS thing as well on a few occasions, even with Corner work

[brodee]

Call them and ask why you got it

yea i did all my corner work. we had to work 2 hour shifts and i did mine fully.

eh, i dont care enough to call them and make a big deal out of it. they put on a great event and i had too much fun to complain to them.

Not complaining just ask them what it means, you got me wondering now!!

DNS means you "Did Not Start", which means they probably don't have any record of you taking your runs. You should contact them to have it set straight, if not for yourself then to help the club identify a possible problem with their scoring system. You paid your money, you worked your corner, you're entitled to be included in the official results.

Haha, you were kickin my ass dude. The last run I did would have been my best (about 93 seconds)...still 2 seconds slower than your best, but I felt like crashing into the timing box. That was embarassing, but geez, I've never seen such poor placement of those things. :roll:
