A couple of pics taken at the track last wednesday showing the instalation of the new timing system loops.
Concrete bases were poured into each of the two trenches dug across the track, one at start/finish and the other on the entrance to turn three.
Each base had grooves cut into it to house the wire detection loops. There are 13 loops in the front straight channel, and 2 in the other.
Ernie and Scotty working hard to clean out all the crud from the channels before the wire loops went in.
And a couple of hours later we had twisted and installed 15 wire loops!.
This picture shows all the grooves filled with expanding foam after the wire were installed to help protect them from damge from stones and such like.
And Grahame emparts infinite wisdom to the scholars...
;D
As I understand it these upgrades will now allow split timing, speed traps, time trials, instantaneous live feeds to the big screen etc etc etc
Big thanks to Scott, Ernie, Grahame and the lads that rolled up to help.
Cheers
Drew
