Pacemakers Dragway Park

Just curious to know if any more, after talking to a few, ever find their car to suddenly just pick up .03 and there lights are off by about .03. I am starting to here from racers more and more of this, just curious to know how many else have had a problem in a said lane.

[Racin Jason]

3 times this year. Most recently first round this past weekend. They have known about the problem in "said lane" and still nothing has been corrected. See ya at Trails Cameron.

cameron and jason, 2 times for me 2 times for my dad, we were 4 hun slow reaction time and 4 fast on the other end,,,,,let me guess left lane

[Vernon Cline Racing]

I will say one thing ..the MPH from one to the other do not match. My car is 1 mph off. and many racers are as much as 5 mph off . I was questioning the driver about shifting the car,,Till I figger out what was going on.. But I have raced at many tracks and TSI is a problem at alot of them..Not just ours..

42 is the same way. tsi there too. i just raced at trails last nite and i didnt even care what lane i was in. the left lane was a little tighter, but wasnt much.

[willie tabor jr]

i have noticed the last 2 times i have been out there is something messed up. its always from about 5:00 -8:00 in the right lane. my reaction time is about 10 or so off.craig thought the same thing saturday.

[R Zolman]

I wish the track could find something wrong with the timing system that way I might convince myself I don't just suck

[CShaffer]

I really enjoy racing at Pacemakers, really enjoy how hard the people there work to make it a nice place to race. I just feel bad for those people who are scratching their heads trying to figure out why they lost when their car suddenly picked up, and their rt is slow. I mean, to spend $250 for an entry and get burned by the timing system stinks, happened to the guy I raced on Sat., and Sean you are not supposed to say which lane, it's a secret. Just hope they can get it fixed, nothing worse for a track than a bad rep, I am just glad there is still racing at Pacemakers, and hope it gets fixed.

[Jeff Spring]

I dont know how many times I have watched from the end to see a racer win and look up and the other lane won with no breakout. I ran you first rd of box Cameron and thought to myself there was no way I was that late. I was .513 last time trail then go .540 and swore I hit it.

[sean graham]

cameron, that was a guess, im not sure what lane it is, im as lost as anybody else, anyway, i second you on that , pacemakers does a great job with upkeep and maintaining the place, and everybody there well maybe not everybody, but 99% of the racers and all the workers there are great people and i hope that they do get it fixed because its a fun place to race, i just want to know when i roll in the gate, that if i lose itll be because something i did wrong or somebody out drove me, not because i got TSI'd

[andrix]

Just thought it was my junk hardtail, .02 from lane two lane.

look's to me it happens more to rails....then doorcar...maybe the tire size....but anyways..

at the london they had the same problem this year....and got it fixed so i email Craig and here is what he said..........

It could be an allignment issue... But one easy thing you can do is switch the iinfreds in that lane... Make prestage your stage and stage your prestage... THis way if you got a lazy photocell it will be lazy on the prestage side and not affect anything going down the track... Thats an easy fix

But other than that, I just paid those guys ridiculous money to come down and put a lazer on the infereds and line them up. It was worth it but i think I fixed my problem once I swithced the 2 photocells... I wouldnt suggest moving the brackets or you will have to get TSI to come down to allign them.. but its easy to switch the 2 photocells around. You have to do both the ones in the center and the ones on the side... they work together and if you dont then you have infereds trying to crosss and make and x screwing up your roll out...

That would be my suggestion... It fixed any problems here.

I know that Mike did call TSI and they did something with the photocells and it looked like it worked. Not sure what it mite be but I know Mike will continue to try to get it fixed...
