Fred,
I am not sure who you think I am, but I have never run Pro Stock.

My problem with a system that displays your incrementals, it's like letting somebody look up your dress.

So much for having a plan....

In my opinion tracks are adopting this to reduce one more point of human to human contact.

I think it will continue after this pandemic because it eliminates one employee and a piece of what can be troublesome equipment.

That being said if a track does not have good cell service from all carriers or does not provide WiFi in the pits (who does that?), it will not work.

One think I forgot to mention about the Tulsa system, and probably Orlando's is that you can text or mail a time slip to yourself or anyone.

I heard that we will be getting paper slips at Epping. Home that's true

I remember handwritten time cards. And I remember being hard on the brakes, taking the stripe, and losing to the track operators buddy because I ran 2 tenths quicker than I ever had before and broke out.

So much for nostalgia.

ETA...I watched portions of 2 events this weekend. There were many races that went out to the third digit to determine who won. Many. And a lot that had to go to the fourth. I don't think the on track sensors can be replaced by GPS except for maybe street car guys goofing off somewhere.

Eliminating person to person contact, my butt....

It's about eliminating person to paycheck contact....
