We are investigating the possibility of running a Time Trial style timed event at NFME 2008.

With this in mind, we need a timing system capable of tracking up to 4 cars on track at a time, running multiple laps.

The Memphis track manager told me he does not have anything capable of this on his road course.

Anybody got access to an AX or TT style system we could borrow or rent?

TIA

Howdy,

Yeah, but if the loop is there, chances are some club around you has the decoder, computer, transponders, etc. etc. that you need to make it all work & you could rent it from them.

I don't know how'd you make a normal autox timing system work really... Perhaps you could use a JACircuits timer to give you an accurate timestamp for when a car (and you wouldn't know which one) went by start/finish... Newer/some JACircuits timers have a 'chronomode' thing where it will spit a timstamp for a light up a serial cable that you could then use, but you'd still need a way to assign it to the proper car, do the math to figure out the laptime, etc. etc.

Transponders is the way to fly, if you can at all afford it.
