The audio we sent was from our FM tuner picking up the BNI FM on the new frequency of 88.9. Speeds are no longer announced on the CB. In the radio trailer, they have computer monitors tied to the timing tower computers. Also, they have communications radios going that we could hear in the background today.
Our kit did well. I asked Texican if, in future years, he might like to look in on it once in awhile if I'm not at every meet. Perhaps two or three others might be willing to do the same, learn how to turn it on in sequence, or turn it back on if it does go off line, and, of course, turn it off in proper sequence at the end of a race day and shut off the generator. Easy squeasy, pays nothing but my thanks if I'm trapped at home while the lucky people are on the salt. Just a thought, I'll ask again next summer.
Well, speaking just for myself, I had a great time, despite not being in the game, getting a timing slip, and being a racer. Someday. I finished my bucket list October 20, 1989 and now everything is a hobby, a vocation, or simply something I enjoy. Perhaps I'll enjoy an FIM project thyis winter.
