I decided to take a look at the results and see what I could find. The results are here: Click here for link I finally found an aspect of slalom racing where I am almost as good as Michael Dong --- hitting the start on the money. Your top 3 best starters (total time in 8 runs going early or late) are: Michael Dong .66 seconds too early or too late over 8 runs Pat Chewning .89 seconds too early or too late over 8 runs Dan Miszewski 1.15 seconds too early or too late over 8 runs The absolute best start of the day was a tie .003 seconds from the tone (Gareth Roe and Dan Miszewski) The prize for the worst start of the day goes to Josh Burt who started a full 12.04 seconds after the tone.     Rate post 272516 !

I call them up, enter the names into the computer, and glance up to make sure the right racer is in the right lane. I say: "Swap guys, Dong is supposed to be in the left lane". They say: "We don't need to swap, check again." I bury my head into the computer's spreadsheet. Sure enough, it says Dong needs to be in the left lane, Moy in the right. I say: "Swap lanes" They say "No, I was in the other lane last race" I re-look at the spreadsheet, check the last run.... looks good to me. I finally stand up, look right at Dong, who is in the right lane and tell him "Move to the left lane" He turns around --- IT'S not DONG! It is Corey Moy! Two skinny, fast, dark-haired guys with Roe-Racing chest protectors racing each other and I'm so tired I can't tell one from the other ....     Rate post 272515 !

Practices? Small competitions? Large competitions? For reliability, I suggest a Trackmate timer --- if you don't mind hand-entering the information from the timer into a spreadsheet when running a race. If you are more interested in a timer for larger races and you want the times to automatically appear in the spreadsheet, then Chronocone is a reasonable choice. Chronocone takes more effort to set up, and it takes more expertise to run than the Trackmate. Whether it is an overall win depends on the level of skill and practice of the timing operator, and how big and fast-paced the race is. I do have to tell you that I am the developer of Chronocone, and I am biased. -- Pat     Rate post 272323 !

I am looking for a supplier for timing gear. It doesn't have to be wireless, it does need to be less expensive and reliable (if those two criteria ever go together.) Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. I add my congrats to Brad for rippin it up in Europe!!     Rate post 272270 !
