We want to say a massive thank you to Realtime Racing for our timing this year. The last couple of years we've used a laptop and a clever excel sheet and had a ton of volunteers having to shout everyone's number as they've come through the finish area to get your lap times. We knew with the growth in numbers this was never going to work. And along came this super easy system which took all that stress away. Tim was on hand remotely all weekend, even spotting when our power accidentally got turned off before we did. We would highly recommend him and his kit..
