Lawrenceburg runs a Westhold timing system and we have a Westhold scoreboard. USAC switched from a Westhold Timing system to an AMB system this year and their timing system was not compatible with our scoreboard.
At the April USAC sprint race Westhold wrote USAC a new program to drive the scoreboard. It worked except for a small glitch in displaying the qualify results order. I believe the program was tweaked but unfortunately there are still a few issues.
We are trying to get Race-Monitor to work for our local shows and Darr from USAC helped me for about an hour trying to get it up and running (thanks Darr!). Unfortunately while doing that I left the Wifi turned on for the track computer and the darn thing started installing updates.
When USAC had a problem connecting with the scoreboard during the midget feature I said I would operate it manually. As soon as I plugged the scoreboard back in my whole computer froze up and I had to do a complete restart (that was when the scoreboard was stuck on lap 11).
We are working to correct these issues and hope to have the scoreboard and Race-Monitor working correctly from this point forward.
