Re: OPA speed brackets
Sparkey...I think that is a great idea. However, the tape would need to be watched before anyone knows the official winners. I think it would be a great way to double check incase there is a discrepancy in the results. Kinda like they do in the NFL.
Someone had mentioned something about transmitters on raceboats and recievers at turn and/or SF boat and the data is automatically input into a program. Something Similar to the EZ pass system.
I think it was Smitty who mentioned it, but Im not sure. What would something like that cost?? Anyone????

Your idea has much credibility. It is also extremely close to the way lap times are figured at SPB/APBA races. It's simple, straight forward, and anyone positioned relatively close to the Finish Line can do it.
Good to see you back.

Bruce,
You know that at any race the instant results are "Unofficial" until the boats and scoring have been checked. This would be no different....
