NEW LIGHT SYSTEM

NEW LIGHT SYSTEM

For those of you who didn't make the last two races of the season last year, I thought I'd announce that we have a new light system that is fully automatic for calling Red Light and Winners. We are currently building a standard Drag Race Tree to finish off the system. It will operate pretty much like a regular Drag Race Tree with Pre-Stage, Stage, 3-Amber Countdown, Green & Red Lights. We will run a 0.400 sec Sportsman Tree Sequence, and may possibly even use the Auto-Start (both fully staged = 1-4 sec delay) then GO.



If you're not familiar with how this works, we can answer some specific questions here, but I'd suggest reading this link first:

Also, now that we have the new light system, we will not be doing "re-runs" for red lights (jumping). If you red light, it's an X.

We've been quite pleased with how well the new system is working as well as how much smoother the entire events have gone since we implemented it.

THANK YOU! to those racers who stepped up and donated the money so we could get it all set up.
