Oregon State Games: Featuring new Tracmate Timer
It's official: With all of the old guys attending the Oregon State Games, I need to hack into the Trackmate timer. Since it only outputs seconds and 1/1000 seconds, I need to add outputs for minutes and hours.

I notice that in the single-lane events you based the results on the sum of each rider's best two times, instead of just on the one fastest time. I would like to see this become the standard way of doing most, if not all, single-lane races. Combining two times would greatly reduce the influence of ...

Tape Switches ... Stay in place even if a racer is off balance and hits the end of the switch (disaster for IR switches). A racer that can turn at speed within inches of a cone can easily hit a 2' timing strip. Aren't those two statements kind of contradictory, Pat? A racer that can turn at speed w...

The beautiful thing is that you can buy whatever length you want. If you want the benefit of additional peace of mind at the finish with a longer strip, at the additional hassle of handling and the additional risk of damage to the switch -- you can choose that 5-foot 6-foot or 8-foot tape switch.

I totally agree with Wes about the length of the strips. We changed our timing system to 2-foot length timing strips. They have lasted for 3 years now, whereas the longer strips would last maybe 1/2 a year because of bending/kinking. Especially on start ramps, you want the short timing strips so the...
