Lap Timers
How will it work?
You will run your chosen lap timer. Upon completion of your competition run, you will pull up to a worker by the shelter on Pit & Grid and they will check your time and have it added to the results. These results will be tracked in a spread sheet to ensure we can accurately tabulate results.
Approved Devices:
We will be accepting a plethora of lap timing options as official. The purpose is to create a list of recommended lap timing solutions. Anything on this list will be accepted at our events. If you have another timing solution that you would like to use, please talk to us and we will determine whether it can be used for official timing; this is not an exhaustive list.
*If using a phone app, you must use an external GPS device with a faster refresh rate to provide position to your phone. This will lead to more reliable and more accurate times while also providing you more flexibility in where you mount your phone. We have had the best luck with Dual, QStars, and RaceBox brand GPS devices.
*Standalone Systems: Garmin Catalyst, AiM Solo Devices, RaceBox, RaceBox Mini S, and Transponders if you can show your live data.
*Phone Apps: Track Addict (a favorite of a few regulars), RaceChrono/RaceChronoPro (another favorite), Harry’s Lap Timer, CircuitStorm, SoloStorm, and HotLap (still valid if it is reliable for you, generally works best on iPhone with an external GPS, but seems to have issues on android).
Make sure the actual GPS device (phone or otherwise) has as clear a view of the sky as possible to ensure accurate GPS readings.
Test your device with your app to make sure you know how to connect them prior to coming to an event and use the practice sessions to further test and troubleshoot your setup prior to competition.
