Sounds like a fantastic racer and a wonderful human being! Condolences to you and your family. Every time you race, he will be there.

Yup, lol. They're coming in strong too, about 2 dozen a day. Pretty obvious that no human would create an email address like this.

Does any human actually create an email address like this? It's the latest fad in "I want to be a Prod Forum Member!"...

Someone asked me to clarify the Flagtronics serial number and registration requirements. The serial number of your unit is printed on the bottom of the unit itself. It can also be pulled up via USB using the Flagtronics Windows software. Jot that number down into your logbook, right next to...

Finals are up: Updated: 3/21/2024 2024 April CRB Minutes 2024 April Technical Bulletins 2024 March COA Unless I missed it...?...the "within driver's reach" for the Flagtronics was pulled. Expect revision for the Runoffs, possibly.

I'd suggest that, for now, don't worry too much about the "within reach" requirement. This requirement intros a packaging problem for a lot of cars and may need to get adjusted. If you can do it great; if not then you really don't need it there until the Runoffs, since it's "recommended" for...

Just based on my limited experience...right now, the primary limitation of Flagtronics is the infrastructure that Topeka is carriaging around to, and setting up at, the Super Tours. That setup will be at the Runoffs. They have already mandated Flagtronics for the Runoffs; it's still...

All good questions for the Flagtronics team. I'll bring these up to EricP and JonK when I'm at the VIR HST.

I'll disagree, Ralf. I may have been one of the initiators of this requirement, and it makes sense. My situation was that I mounted my Flagtronics way forward at the base of the windshield of my '08 Civic Si; I did that so I would not have to re-focus in and out to be able to read it (59-yr-old...

I don't think I've seen a "TYFYI" list as long as that one...ever.

Al, buy red-colored LEDs. Same goes for amber if you have amber turn signals, and white for reverse lights. Reason is kinda simple: colored lenses filter out all light colors except the intended one. If the vast majority of the color of the LED is not red, then most of its brightness gets...

Why, thank you for asking, Tim! (I didn't pay him for that...) Donations. ProdRacing exists solely on donations. So if you like the site and are getting use out of it consider contributing. Even though admins are volunteers, we have regular costs such as domain registration, software and web...

I buy them from superbrightleds.com. Something like $6 or so each.

Well first, you should replace the incendescents with LED bulbs. Then you can add an FIA rain light if that's not good enough. I get it, you may actually get grief from an exhuberent tech inspector if you have functional taillights and a non-FIa rain light. There's always going to be "those...

I thought about that. But I suggest lighting is covered by the main GCR...and as noted we do allow alternate lighting for other purposes (dash, external ID, enduro lights at night, etc). Maybe those are all covered by supps? I was just thinking of it as a way for those that prefer a brither...

Here's an interesting discussion point... There's no GCR reg I'm aware of that disallows additional lighting. In fact, it's common in some arenas to add identifying lights for teams to ID you in enduros, for example. As such...if you already have functioning "original equipment red taillights"...

Yes.

So I monitor new user requests. Usually get a dozen a day. Fortunately, we have a couple challenges, like Captcha, and we subscribe to "StopForumSpam" wihch is a crowd-sourcing of user requests that monitors based on handle (one reason why we want you to use your real name), email address, and...

Ah, I missed that. Totally different deal, then. All I can do in that case is <shrug> and say "oh well".
