Horn sounds that are so useful for nitro racing are now working again on the downloads page. If you've never tried them its worth a go, they're designed to be rather loud!
I'm searching for the Dutch and Danish sound files.
A long time away -
1st November 2010
We've been away for a long time!
Now back and working on improvements to the program and web site.
Due to a web hosting problem a few months ago we've lost a few links, today I've put the online manual back up and I'm searching for other files that need to be replaced.
Our email mailing list unfortunately disappeared with our old hosts but please email us, we really do love to hear from you.
Just a note to say our hardware prices have remained the same for almost a decade, we've purchased more efficently but our prices may have to increase in the new year but only slightly.
Regards

Track
Focus -

Christmas

Communications
problems
Our host
(which provides a brilliant service)
moved data centre due to some support
issues they were having there. This
caused a few days disruption and problems
on the site, these have been fixed and
we hope to enjoy a full service from
now on.
Spam
has become a major problem for us in
recent months, not only were we getting
tremendous amounts (over 60 a day) but
spam filtering software was blocking
some genuine email. We have therefore
decided to remove the email address
altogether and provide an online form
instead. Our address and telephone number
are also published; very sorry for any
inconvenience this has caused.
We
recently let down one of our customers
because of several problems. Everything's
completed now but I apologise Christian
and hope you have a great new year.
It won't happen again!
New
Feature
Starting
in January we're featuring a new club
each month to help promote our users,
see Track Focus above.
Testimonials
We
have several new testimonials
and I've done a few minor updates to
some pages on the site.
Timing
Software
Ok you've read all that stuff
above and this is what you have been
waiting for..
Laps
Free has got a few improvements
coming, i've been struggling on with
an old compiler for many years and its
going to be updated for version 0.15.
This will hopefully provide a better
audio player, no frequency selection
problems with windows XP, USB support
(been waiting for ages... I know). End
of January is the expected release.
Laps
RCT(Radio Controlled Timing), the
future software had caused a considerable
amount of problems due mainly to being
too feature rich in certain areas. So
I've taken the BIG decision and scrapped
it!
All is not lost however as many of the
features can be integrated into the
next project...
Laps
XXX (no name yet, if you have a suggestion
I'd love to hear it) will be an evolution
from Laps Free rather than a complete
revolution. This will allow for a gradual
implementation starting in February
2007:
First
Stage(February): New database system
will remove the need for event driver
details and separate drivers database.
New interface, reduce number of windows
and make setting of connected equipment
automatic.
Second
Stage(April): Leagues/Series module
will be implemented as the new database
allows for this. Practice manager built
into race screen.
Third
stage(May):Additional race screen information
and better printouts. Improved HTML
output, easy/automatic web site upload.
Forth
Stage (June): Networked race information,
additional sound options, multi language
support.
Fifth
Stage (July onwards): Improvements and
user suggestions.
Happy
holidays and have a wonderful New Year
