I contacted Zoomius about getting a demo for the TWS race. I will let you know what I find out.
H2R is using RFID? Excellent. Do you know whose system (which brand) it is?
The transponders are basically free so the big question is what the rest of the system costs. That will probably not be cheap.

sorry you didn't get any stickers. it was pretty hectic saturday. i'll get some to you. i can mail them or if your gonna be at tws i'll give them to you there.
i don't have anything against traqmate or any gps lap timer. i just don't want any hurt feelings over a guy with a transponder or gps that reads to the thousandth's of a sec. winning over someone with one that reads to the tenths. if i would have gotten a lap time on my third session sat. there might have been 4 of us in the 1:27 range. i got a 1:27.368 on sunday on my one traffic free lap.

Save me some stickers, I'll get them from ya at tws. Looking fwd to another new track for me. Hopefully with lots more seat time I can give those pesky mod guys a run for the money by the time ecr rolls around

LOL, you won't ever see me with any hurt feelings over times. I just happy to run and compare. The informal competition just makes a track day more fun and helps me push a bit more. I think the scoring decision you made was just fine. Timing will always be a pain, AMB vs. GPS. I dunno, yeah AMB might be the best, but not if requiring it discourages entrants from joining in the fun.

i was looking at some video and turns out i did have a much faster lap in my 3rd session. (no traffic, no transponder..FTL) oh well, we'll get'em next time.

All that being said, I did find these guys. They clone the AMB RC transponders and sell them cheap. I sent them an e-mail asking about cloning the larger transponders. No reply yet.

"Sorry we only have cloned transponders for the AMBrc
system used for radio control models.

It still makes me wonder though if the AMB we are using can be cloned, and if anyone is doing it. I could not find anything in a brief search.

Had fun, good weather, great group of guys and learned alot last weekend. Thanks machismo for the place to crash and yea you would have had some massive kill if you ran street 
spoolin for the for letting me borrow the phone for lap timesand setting up the event, wags for the instructing, and everyone else for the good company that day. Even though I posted those slow times a had a blast, learned alot, and felt like I improved alot since the last I was was at cresson. Looking forward to the next event!

That's not fair to you, IMO.We all need AMB's or the RFID setup. We're already learning alot from this first season. Hopefully each event will go easier and smoother for everyone.

one thing i'm realizing way too late here. (after seeing a few pics i'll be posting below) i have vinyl numbers in blk. and wht. at prices cheap enough that you can take them off after the event if it's your daily or street car. ask me next time and i can hook you guys up. looks a little nicer than the tape. vinyl #s and txmc stickers were made by tim @
Voodoo Garage - Clothing... Vinyl... Speed... if you want something special or a custom design for the lowest price possible contact him.
also would like to thank Voodoo Racing of so. tx. for the donation of the trophies for the last 2 events and the preseason txmc last oct. at tws.
that was really appreciated. you can find out more about them here:
MySpace - Voodoo Racing... DRIVE OR DIE! - 33 - Male - Voodooville, Texas - myspace.com/ilovevoodooracing
pics page: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...ndID=106161090
however, we're out of trophies and to help cover sticker costs etc., there's most likely gonna be a small fee to enter the challenge. probably around $10
i'll also make sure i bring that dry erase board. went by office max, they were $65 dollars! that sounds crazy to me. i was going to borrow jacob300zx's but didn't make it over to his house before i left town.
