Scraping Sectional Times from ATR Website

[tomwilson1986]

Has anyone managed to scrape sectional times from the ATR website?

(I'm currently doing a huge manual exercise of typing them all into a spreadsheet one by one)

Thanks,
Tom

Dear All,

I thought I would share my current progress on this. I reverted back to only recording the final time rather than all the sectionals as that was taking too much time.

Some questions:
Should i adjust the final times for going allowances?
Do you think I should adjust the final times against weight carried?

Regards,
Tom

Mavis Beacon I bought this for my kids in the early 80's - advent of BBC computers - they thought I had gone mad - but it gave them a good lead later on

How long is a piece of string?

Some do - some dont.

and what about distance changes due to rail movements or fences/hurdles being taken out?
