Download/Scrape Results with Python #48

So it would be pretty cool to be able to "intelligently" scape the race-results website: High Plains Race Results Instead of manually retrieving each one, processing it, finding a good way to store it, then go through the validations and whatnots, we could have a program that could get all of the results, then we could validate and whatnot. Plus then we would no longer be necessary every single race.

But to start, we could always get results with python instead of doing it ourselves.

In order to download the spreadsheets as a csv, we can change the following url: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ygjrpOnBOuMPZ6xcIaklNXW-ifGaWRPo-nDHE3nHTiI/edit#gid=0 to: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=1ygjrpOnBOuMPZ6xcIaklNXW-ifGaWRPo-nDHE3nHTiI&output=csv
