Just getting a thread started here. Our last layout had a long straight and was pretty fun but I think our proximity to the wall (or Ben's TX ) was causing problems. I think we'll use a more compact layout next time and try to keep people a little farther from the track.
Will be starting up a points series in Mid October if everything goes well.
i think the iwaver tx has alot of bleed or whatever you call it. we've noticed this with iwaver tx's in dc as well, when standing right next to the track or another person.
That's true...when he hung his antenna like a fishing pole, we all had some problems. As we get more people I'll start to compile a list of Do's and Dont's. There's a bunch of threads on etiquette that I will probably use to make our own list.

Does taking some elses (your) FM Nissan and runnig it full throttle straight at the track wall? Is is that a FauxPaux (fox pox)
Or standing in the middle of the track? Is that wrong?
Or jumping feet first into oncoming traffic?
There are a couple of lap counters out there. Most of them use a loop of wire (either over or under the rack) and a transponder.
The popular timing system and the one I know best is Core. I think a Core system goes for about $600-700. I saw one used here for $500 once. The transponders are about $10.
At one point Stampy had a counter that would count based on your Mini-Z frequency. I don't know where that counter is but I can ask Mike about it. I suspect it isn't around or he would have said something.
So, it's a fair bit of coin for a reliable counter. If the club got really popular and we charged $5 for a night of racing...I guess it could happen.
Another solution is those thumb counters that bouncers use. That's what Stampy used at one point. Everyone who isn't racing has to count. It's primitive but it works (and it's cheap). If there are enough drivers to have separate heats it works.
I think Lap Trapper could work really well, if you had a numeric keypad.
They have them at big lots for like 8 bux I think. I can grab one if you want.
Or we can wait till the next one. In other news, my OL and MR02 wont be here till Wednesday.
hte frequency system is the ko propo arc system i think. you limited to the number of frequencies for racers but that will rarely be an issue outside of not beaing abot to use those while racing.
