Glouva1 Donating Members 654 Member For: 13y 10m 3d Gender: Male Location: Surrey Hills, Melbourne Posted 15/11/12 11:38 AM Share Posted 15/11/12 11:38 AM They need to fix their timing boards. Sh!t for public and competitors. What's the point of going to drags if you can't see the times and mph. It's fn ridiculous it is still not fixed and they charge the same amount. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82767-calder-park-closing/page/6/#findComment-1325771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stazza_Brendan Donating Members 686 Member For: 15y 6m 27d Gender: Male Location: Mackay QLD Posted 15/11/12 12:25 PM Share Posted 15/11/12 12:25 PM We run the same timeboard setup here in Mackay. They are very temperamental but its the only system that talks to the timing system on the track.We have a heap of dramas with ours, mainly due to weather.Theres almost no one in Australia who will touch the electronics associated with the timing boards. Usually the broken stuff gets sent to the USA to get fixed.
