Title: What timing does CCS use? AMB? Mylaps?
Post by: PDARacing on May 08, 2009, 07:15:55 PM
Hiiii guys,

I'm thinking about doing a CCS weekend at Summit Memorial Day weekend. So far, I have only raced with WERA, but wanted to see what else was out there and get some practice for the WERA Summit round too...

I'm looking at the prices, and well, they are higher than I am used to.. wanted to make sure I am covering all my bases thinking about this and expenses...
1. Membership - is there a temp license I can get and how much?
2. Entry fees ( on an 07 R6 (stocker) it looks like I can run MW Superbike and MW Superstock... or is it the GP classes? I guess I'm confused.. I read the rulebook but cant figure out what the differences are between those?)
3. Can I use my AMB transponder or do I need to rent a different one?
4. Is there a site I can check out laptimes to see what recent times are being run.
5. How are the races gridded? Pre Entry, Points?

THanks guys!!

CCS License Fee:
$120.00 per Season
$85.00 after July 1st.
$55.00 after September 1st.
All competition licenses
expire January 1, 2010

CCS Pre-Entry Fees:
$80.00 first entry
$55.00 second entry
$80.00 each Unlimited GP
class regardless.

CCS Post-Entry Fees:
$85.00 first entry
$60.00 each additional
$85.00 each Unlimited GP
class regardless

You can enter any of the Middleweight, Heavyweight and Unlimited classes (Supersport, Superbike, GP) unless you are running slicks which would rule you out of Supersport.  Not many bikes are built to the specs allowed by the Superbike and GP classes.

You are provided with a transponder at no cost.  Just make sure you return it at the end of the weekend.

Our lap times are posted online here  http://www.myracingbio.com/?event=Welcome

We are gridded by order of entry.

Also too ease your troubled mind I might add that CCS tech/rules are much less stringent so if you have already raced WERA you are sooooooo ready to go to a CCS weekend.  Not bashing here mind you but facts is facts! :thumb:

The timing system CCS/ASRA uses is made by Westhold Corporation.

I think they still have a single event license fee if you already have an accepted license. They did last year.


BTW, I'm working hard on making MyRacingBio kick the snot out of MyLaps.com :) New software release is coming in the next week or so.

i found that the ccs version was easier to search.. Mylaps sucks for searching and is finicy with being signed in. It constantly has to be signed into and won't let me do anything without that

Well if anyone ever has suggestions or features for MyRacingBio.com feel free to pass them on to Webmaster AT MyRacingBio.com.

MyRacingBio is a product I have designed to sell and I'm basically beta testing it with the CCS organization at my own expense.

Easy...just copy Mylaps

I've never actually used MyLaps.com and don't intend to. I've just played around on top level pages as I don't have an account. I've implimented a few things that have been suggested from users, but thats it.

Plus If I just copy myLaps not only am I a looser, but I've just wasted my time. It can also be harder to think out of the box when your jaded by another 'competing' product.

So in short, "just copy mylaps" is not only insulting to the amount of work involved in creating a product like this, but it doesn't help. People have written me with endless bitching about MyLaps, so just copying them gets me nowhere.

Check out the results from the last 2 races I have for PBI:

03/14/2008/ (http://www.myracingbio.com/?event=lapsByEvent&facilityId=48&eventId=92)
05/02/2009/ (http://www.myracingbio.com/?event=lapsByEvent&facilityId=48&eventId=99)

You can get a good idea of how many were entered into each race!

Sometimes CCS joins races and spit out one results file with no details which gets me garbage (I'm working on compensating for this). Here is the official results from their site from their last weekend at PBI. I don't run there, so I have no further datail past whats on mu site.

is there a girls class with CCS too?
Title: Re: What timing does CCS use? AMB? Mylaps?
Post by: truckstop on May 19, 2009, 10:36:50 AM
There are two, Femmoto Lightweight, and Middleweight. Both use the equivalent Supersport spec for the rules. I don't know what the attendance has been like in that region, but the Middleweight class usually has 5 or 6 entries here in the midwest.

cool.. not sure what the entries would be like.. i've been the only girl entering the Womens Superstock so far this year with WERA..

Katie, I just looked up results for the MA region and there's only been one entry in the FMMW class, and I'm pretty sure she only runs at events that have ASRA Team Challenge, so I doubt she will be there this weekend. Thought I'd let you know in case you didn't want to be the only entry. I know what that's like and it's not really fun, but I keep entering lightweight in the hopes that *someone* else will find a bike and run it. You should come up for one of the CCS midwest events since we usually have a better grid in the FMMW class. :D
