Hey Michael Beard, does that make any sense to you?
Not to me, but evidently I don't have all the info.

Its not very close to me,but I agree with you on the lights and timing system in general.I think it has something to do with their "Accutime" timing system.
The rollout is about .02 tighter on an Accutime than a Compulink. I've never heard a bad word about an Accutime. FWIW, the majority of TSI systems are about .02 looser than a Compulink, with exceptions being Thompson and US131.

I announced at Thompson this year, and had a great time. I think all things considered with the weather, the racers and staff did a great job of working with each other to make the program run smoothly. Didn't make it to Skyview this year, but went the year before, and loved the place.
