Yeah, at all BRCA National type events, the timing team has a USB Memory Stick that has a the BBK software on. You'l also need the WiFi WEP Key, which the team have aswell.

It works on 99% of laptops, although I have seen a couple this year that point blank refuse to connect to the WiFi network. Don't get me wrong that 1% would probably connect after a bit of poking at the config. Just not had the time to dedicate to it at the race meetings.

One last point, just bare in mind that the size of some pitting fields mean that you could be to far away to get a WiFi signal. This is made worse at some tracks by the steel containers that house race control.
