Mylaps equivlent for CCS?

[Chester]

Is there a mylaps equivlent that has ccs lap times?  I'm curious what the ball park is for amateur races among the different classes @ Gingerman.

Thanks.

ut-oh...here it comes again...can of worms...

but seriously...CCS doesn't post to any web site for lap times...you have to get them at the track or I think you can e:mail them and they can maybe send them out...not sure on that though...

Yes, you go to the scoring tower and have them print out all the laptimes for you!

I'm sure there is a way for them to get those laptimes in a file and posted on the web.  

Assuming they could even do that, I still wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to make it to a website anywhere in a timely fashion (kinda like points and results).

ouch, sorry

no need to be sorry...it's just that they can't....oh never mind...I'll just open up a bigger can of worms...lips are zip tied shut!

In a nutshell, everybody would have to own their transponder (Like they do in WERA) so that a stable database could be established and Mylaps.com could accurately post each rider's times. The serial # of the transponder could be permanently linked to your name and then the times could be posted.
LRRS is at the point where the same transponders go to the same racers each event, but there are enough loose ends (transponder turned in Sat reissued to another racer Sunday) to make it not entirely feasable at this time. We just started posting ewverybody's lap times for their races, (not practice) at the LRRS website.

in CRA, we don't own our transponders, and all our laptimes are posted on the website within a couple days of the raceweekend, as well as updated points. sometimes, alot of the results are posted before the weekend is even over. oh, and fastest lap of each person is posted with the race results during the day.

This is pathetic.  In my other life (in the gun world) even at local matches, shooter's results are posted on the web in near real time.  And those guys are spending alot less in fees than bike racers are.

People want to know how well they performed and how well other racers performed.  Shucks, I might want to show someone who wasn't at the track some race results.  I even might like to know results of races outside of my region that I didn't attend.  Duh.  This is ridiculous.

It should be easy.  It is easy.

Everybody with WERA complained initially about the cost, but I'd say it's worked out extremely well, as most everyone enjoys the benefits of the timing system.

It'd be nice if CCS was looking at the same solution.  A good number of the racers would already have the transponders and not have to spend the extra money.

Is this Mylaps.com or the CRA website?

CRA web sight. here is the reults page. everything is broken down by: race results, personal laptimes, overall points, and points per class.  http://www.cra-mn.com/results/  Unfortunatly, our transponders(Db Com) aren't as neat for mounting as the WERA and CCS trasponders, as there is no mounting bracket for it to snap into, so we have to mount it via a reinforced bag with cable ties. i think the CRA was ahead of the curve for getting transponders, and these were some of the first out there.

We used to have the dB Com system before switching to the AMB system. Their transmitters (NOT transponders) had to be mounted at least 2" away from any carbon fiber or the signal would be sucked away. You could hear the signal approaching the antenna over the computer speakers. The equipment was triggered when the signal went from "coming" to "going", in the same manner that the vane on a distributor shaft signals the pickup, which signals the ignitor in an electronic ignition system. Vanson leathers made a bunch of leather pouches that were attached to the bike to hold them. It was a PITA to set up the antenna for them. We had it in Turn 12, away from Pit Row, which made it useless for determining finishing position in a close race. The one time we set it up on Pit Row, down at the Pocono FUSA/GP/PRO event, we had to reroute traffic on the lane to avoid bikes that weren't in the race tripping the computer.
I can't quite remember when we first got the dB Com system. I think it was in 1997. We switched to the AMB stuff for the 2001 season. Biggest PITA is that the NHIS Timing Tower is at NASCAR Turn 4.
