Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, step right up and be the first in your class to experience the brand new, state of the art, automated start and timing system at the June 19-20 NEHA Burke mountain hillclimb!!! Brought to you by Kevin, Joey, James and me with funding from you and KSCC.

Burke 1 will also debut 2 of the new communication headsets - at start and finish.

Come one, come all. Dont miss the new and improved for you hilllcimb.

Oh, I heard there might be some racing going on too...

I've never seen people so happy to be guinea pigs/beta testers. :lol:

Walter, Maybe we should add a beta test agreement to the docs everyone has to sign.

Sounded like it made the starters job a lot easier, and Control's, as well. Given the amount of discussion around this, and other communication upgrades, I am surprised about the misconceptions that still exist. :ugeek:

I liked the light. It was a little fast but wasn't to hard to get use to. Good job to all that were involved in making it happen. :D

LOL! Kudos to Kevin, and Walter. The timing system is great, and survived the "Burke I water test" just fine. Great job guys!

Replaced by a bit of hardware, software and a microcontroller. You're not the first.

Did we give you a good severance package? :lol:
