A question about timing systems

Alan Warman · 10-19-2009, 09:36 PM

Does anybody have Compulink contact info I have looked but have not found it. Also what other systems do other tracks use. Any info will help.
Thanks Alan

Compulink seems to be what the majority of the tracks use. I have been to some tracks that use Accutime though.

There are a number of different timing systems out there. Compulink, Accutime, TSI, Chrondek, Portatree.

Taking Compulink as the "standard", the rollout on an Accutime can be .020 quicker, and TSI's are typically .020 loose, although I've run into exceptions. Most Chrondek C44 systems I've run on seem to be close to a Compulink, or maybe just a tick tighter.

I have track notes listed on the Dragstrip Finder track directory on my website.

What info were you looking for?

We have a chance to take over are local track, it has a Compulink system now but it's old. I mean real old, I need to see what it would cost to update it or replace it. But I can not find any contact info not even on the equipment. So if anybody has any contact info or who to talk at Compulink would be great.

This was interesting to read.I went out to Pittsburgh for the IHRA Doubleheader Pro-Am and Sportsnationals.
First pass,went .010 red and couldn't believe it.Started changing stuff including front tires and got all screwed up.Lost in the first round 3 times in a row.Saw ACCUTIME on the timeslip and never heard of them,figured something was different.
