Hi, i need make the timing for a Minidrome race, like this:

I have transponders AMBMX and Timy or TDC8001, I would appreciate any suggestion or ideas to implement in this kind of race.

Regards

Wow. Interesting.
This seems to be pretty straightforward 10 lap "pursuit"
The TDC or TIMY in Parallel slalom mode will tell you which rider is ahead if you make a simple lane change box to reverse the inputs on the half laps.
The "Veloresults" software that we use for UCI races will do this automatically.

Do you know how we can contact the people who built this track "minidrome" for the Red Bull Promotion?

Thanks for your reply.

In youtube.com I could see some videos about this championship, and in google, i saw some about the specifications to build the minidrome.

The main doubt is about the "masking tape" on the surface, because I am in Mexico and can't see a vendor yet, and using sensors seems like danger for the racer falls in the track.

I have uploaded a PPT file with some specifications.

Good luck Juan!

My Jaguar RFID system would do it easily I think using what we call a triathlon setup with a directional aim. A directional is often used on triathlons so that we get people coming and going from a transition area through a common path. I think the same concept could work well here.

Looks like an interesting event.

thank foy your replies.

Mr. FKP.. could you explain me a little more about "The TDC or TIMY in Parallel slalom mode will tell you which rider is ahead if you make a simple lane change box to reverse the inputs on the half laps."

I am software developer, then, maybe I am going to develop the software for this race...

Do you recommend me: 2 separated start lines (one on each side of minidrome)... or the same start line installed along de wide of minidrome.

Maybe just need to identify el ahead racer to detect the winner.

About this (simple lane change box to reverse the inputs on the half laps).. please with other words... (My english is not fluid an google translate does not help me)

I think you understand now how to run this event. Each rider starts on opposite sides of the track and chases each other. By nature the 1st impulse that you will receive for each rider will be a 1/2 lap because the rider on the home is heading to the back, and the rider in the back is heading to the home. The lane change switch allows the timer to keep the channel id the same, nothing more. The most important time split is of course the 2 finishes and that will be fine regardless if the number of laps is a full number; ie 10 laps, 15 laps, etc.

Ok, thanks, i can undestand better now..
I have received 2 tapeswitches from Alge (3 meters each one)..

I think will connect to TDC8001.
By nature of the bicycle there will be 2 signals (one for each tire)... where can i set a delay on TDC8001 to get just one "beep"

Regards

I can see now the delay option in TDC8001 for start and stop pulse.

How much delay (.20s, .20s)could be good un TDC8001 for avoid two beeps for the tires of bycicle???

I will make test in the event.. but if anybody have an idea.

The Redbull Minidrome in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico... Final...

Timing with TDC8001 and Tapeswitch & own software.
Thanks to Mr. FKP four your excelent support.
