In that case there's a dispute with the stopwatch times, which show you as 34:30.30, corrected by 1.96s to 34:32.25. Unfortunately yours was one of the 8 tags which didn't wake up, so the stopwatch time is all I have. [The 1.96s correction is required to align the stopwatch times with the tag times which were recorded.]

Ok just had yet another look at my video, Lee crossed the line approximatey 8 seconds ahead of me, with one lap more.

Many thanks to Andrew, Kevin and Adrian for sorting out the results. I'm happy with my result if not my performance, although I did sneak past Graham on the last lap by staying in his mirror blind-spot .

    is all i can say!!!!


in terms of Yantos tag can we check that it was not crystal drift? it is possible and if he's result seems out to his video and race order would suggest it to me. I understand these use external crystals, and have had new batteries resently, so should be stable, but it only takes small Vcc drop and the clock phasing will be out.

the race was 33.08.59 which in the life of the boxes is LONG TIME!!!
every 1sec the crystal dose (and please here don't recall the exact crystal in the box but) say 3.27Mhz that is 3270000 so thats one count every 3.125 micro secs......... the PICs in the box divid by four the clock frequency so one count every 12.5 microsec......
in the time of the race there for the box counts and sorts aorund 154million 240Thousand counts ish or div by 4 38.5million ish.
these things on freqency or accuract!!! afterall you all run you day by them on albe it they generally use 32Khz clocks.

however, these things just like your watch when the Vcc is is low drift and as it is clear a few count dift over 30min can make a time wrong.

perhaps Yanto could post a first and last shot showing timing from his video. (ps these work on crystals to so could be out too )

looking at the timings from his statment he should have come in on the shoulder of Neil Flemming and as a time ref should show Lee in the distance crossing the line some 10sec ahead.


Andrew did you gat chance to check Bev Ashton's laps? the gps show 12 laps in 10 seconds longer time.
and have you a time for my 3rd race yet, I dont expect points in MF as I raced only an open class vehical.



I echo GB comment resorting results, and to all for setting up the weekend it was good to catch-up with so many faces.
