I defer to other who use lap timers (I got one on my wish list though!)

However, check with your local trackday organizers and tracks...
Most of the service providers here will post their own beacon...you just place a compatible transponder on your bike.  Multiple beacons will foul up your lap times.  There typically aren't many problem with compatibilty.  Most folks seem to be using the "Ultra lap" timer.  It seems pretty inexpensive (seen them new on internet for about $170).

Derby was doing some comparing....Derps, any news?

2 that some have recommended. Starlane GPS lap timers and the XT Racing lap timers. Starlane retail for over $500 Canadian. UltraLap XT are just over $300 for the Top of the Line.

off the cuff, here's an Ultralap for about $190

A couple of months ago I was doing some shopping for a lap timer.  I was looking at the Ultralap because of price and conveinince.  Let's see if I can find the vendor who had it listed for $174...

A used on on Ebay just went for 180.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=320277846179&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=011

It must have been the one with the software package, or he paid way too much.

I think buying the one with the software would be Ok,, its only $35. I have a feeling I will be donateing 300 ish to Baysideperformance.

Theres another full track day Next Monday (Canadian Holiday) I would like a unit by then.

most of the onboard laptimers will work off the same beacon, so as long as there is one (and only one) at the track, you'll be fine.

every track day i've been to has had somebody ask during the riders meeting if there is a beacon on track. if somebody hasn't already set one out, somebody usually does at that point.

if you want to avoid the beacon-hassle, the starlane gps model is the way to go. you'll pay for it, though ($$$).

Hmmm. No one ever mentioned Beacons during the meetings. I know they use transponders while racing.

I will look into this.  I thought each beacon was specific to the Receiver it is sold with !

Starlane GPS,,, twice as much $$$. I better read up on that one B4 I access my Paypal account.

Thanx Derby

transponders are the recievers, the beacon is the transmitter.  Can't have one without the other.

There are two main type of beacons, IR and Magnetic.  IR is what is usually setup ad hoc by an attendee/org.  Magnetic is usually built into the track.

Thanx Sqweak

Dam modern tech. I better make a call to the track,,,,,sheeesh.

Frick,,,,,,,I just phoned the Track. He said they may not allow Timing Devices because we are not suppose to be Racing at these events. What kind of BS is that ? ? He wsnt completely sure,,, & said I should phone the Org.
I dont really want to stir the pot. I will PM some of the local Trackers.

I will eventually get to the bottom of this  Smiley
