No natsoft timing, bit of a downer.

[N1GTR]

Yeah members prefer it being able to take passengers all day instead. It's been a hot topic at AGM's

[R31Nismoid]

Err... why cant you just have untimed passenger session after lunch?

Thats what most clubs do down here.

That way you get 3-4 sessions of timing

We've spent a lot of time discussing and arriving at our club track day format. The majority of our track day attendees are still newer track goers and value taking instructors and mates for rides anytime. Also the additional cost of the timing just adds more cost to the day.

There are a few members that really want lap times and we suggest getting personal timing equipment. There are lots of affordable personal timing options now. I've been using a GPS logger for a year and was a great $175 spent! Does more than just timing laps too cause you can see your entry/exit speed and sector times. The club is still doing research on devices to pick up a few for those that really want a lap time.

So this really just comes down to a difference between the way VIC & NSW run track day events. We've spent a lot of time evaluating and discussing this in NSW and why we have chosen the "social fun day" atmosphere.

There is also the National event coming up for those that want to run Wakefield with Natsoft timing this year.

So come along and enjoy a great social track day.

I'm happy to bring my lap timer anyhow, this is more a recce for Nat's anyhow.

Sorry, fire'y topic.

Quite a few of the track day vic guys have GPS timing now, including myself (racechrono + qstarz). It is just that natsoft is the benchmark.

I can see that it is more of a 'social fun day', which is great as passenger laps are great fun (Tampered Motorsport run passenger all day at Winton as well, though with timing).

Have you discussed with committee and/or AASA about running timing and passenger laps all day, with the timing published at the conclusion of the event only?

Either way I should be signing up for some Wakie action.
