Hi to all
This is my very first oople post so apologies to all if its not very well constructed !!
Having been involved with racing model cars since the late 80's i feel i have a fair bit of experience to fall back on !
I have followed this thread from the start and would like to give my opinion .When i started racing we had manual lap counting with clickers and bits of paper we moved through a sinclair spektrum based system through Amb 20 and now finally AMBRc .
We are now suffering with failure of handout transponders batteries are failing more frequently than we would like, a lot of our clubmembers have PT transponders but they are very expensive !!
I would welcome a competitive rival system .
To Scott well done for trying a new system best of luck and i think your last post was your best effort yet well constructed . A word of friendly advice welcome all drivers from all groups all clubs go through lean times at somepoint ours has . currently 50 drivers is average for a friday night club meeting ,look after the youngsters with little money the most they will be the future of your club.
I will follow the I laps system we may well be looking for an alternative ourselves
