Title: Laptimes now on the WEB!
Post by: extrakt0r on June 14, 2007, 12:42:27 PM
Sweet:

6.14.07 > Laptimes Now Available Via the Web <

ASRA/CCS is pleased to announce a new way to retrieve your laptime via the Web. With the help of CCS Racer Scott Myers, this site will allow you to access each race and get laptimes either by single rider or all riders laptimes.

This feature is only available for the events run on the Westhold system (Summit Point, Blackhawk Farms, Daytona, Heartland Park, Barber, Roebling Road, Homestead, Moroso, Jennings GP and the Shenandoah Circuit.) Follow this link (Click Here) to the new webpage.

Ok, I like that.

And did I read that you can get those via a wireless signal at the event too?  It was on the mailer.

Yes sir you can download the program onto your laptop and as long as you are within 650 feet I think from the tower you can get live laptimes and scoring.

I'm sure this is a strech but is it streamed live while the event is going on ? or compliled after the event and uploaded ?

Either way it is sweet! I figured it was only a matter of time before one of us computer nerds got into this, after I saw the timing and scoring on the CCS web page.

Times are streamed live at the track over the live scoring you can view with a wireless enabled laptop.

As for the website, I'm sure they are compiled and uploaded after the fact.

Thanks guys.  It will get better as time goes on.

Also, it's not blatantly obvious, but on the laptime screen, you can sort the data by clicking on the header of whatever column you want to sort.  Click it again to sort in the opposing direction.  This makes it easy to see the laptimes from quickest to slowest and vice versa.

Anyone want the ability to export the times?

For the record.  Once the system is up and running with no errors, the CCS employees at the race (or office) will be responsible for getting the times up at the track.

If the track has internet access, the could get the times up as soon as the race(s) are over and they have time to do so.

Theoretically, I could keep track of the overall times for each competitor during the race and determine the placings, but sometimes the file contains both am and expert riders with no way to differentiate them.  So that would make it impossible to do.  Maybe in the future I can get consistant data in the files.  Even then, it might not be the "official" finishing positions due to things such as protests and such.

System is set up to collect data in Hours, Minutes and Seconds.

Ability to calculate days and weeks will be in version 2 which can be viewed at - 8DaysAWeek.com

Westhold system is a welcomed addition. Super awesome and I noticed that even the practice times are available via WiFi. Gridding by lap times is a very real possibility! Time will tell. (No pun intented.)

The CCS site says that we can use a wireless laptop at the track with the possible exception of Road America and Daytona. Any idea if it will work at RA this weekend?
Title: Re: Laptimes now on the WEB!
Post by: gntbldr on July 07, 2007, 09:51:34 PM
at RA the internet connection and computer system was on the fritz here and there for Fri and Sat when I was racing there.

Sure hope it went smoother for Sunday races though.......
