Timing

The Chief Timer the and their Timing Assistants are responsible for setting up and operating the timing system.

 

The Timer coordinates with the Chief Starter and Fire and Rescue teams to time each vehicle and calculate the speed for each run. There are two tracks and in the timers van there are two rooms, one for each track.

 

The timers for each track will be sitting in front of a computer running the timing software, and using the UHF radio for communications.

​

There is a high level of concentration required to ensure the sequence of events are strictly followed, and the integrity of track operations maintained.

Each run can take from 6 to 9 minutes to complete depending if its Track 2 (one timed mile) or Track 1 (up to 4 timed miles).
