This is good news for the FL guys. As anyone here knows Henry puts on great track days down here, the only real problem is the lack of Sebring dates. However he is always looking for ways to improve and sent out a survey a few weeks ago. Got this email today.
Drivers:
We had a phenomenal response to our news about TIMING from many drivers, and 99% where positive. We want to thank all the Florida Region Drivers for giving us the information that has led us to this special announcement.
Florida Region HOD will begin timing in May starting with our Homestead event May 26th. We are still finalizing the group and its new designated name.
Orders are being taken now for those of you who wish to buy a transponder, and are able to offer a 10% discount from the current price of $448. We are not in the business of selling transponders, this is just a one time offer that will coincide with our purchase of the timing system and our rental transponders. If you wish to take advantage of the savings, please email me and we will purchase your transponder at the discounted price of $403.20 You do not have to buy it from us, you can get it anywhere you like.
We are very excited to announce the start of timing, and how this will take HOD into the future. We will be looking into having times posted LIVE on iPhone app called Race Monitor. It is a $5 app for your iPhone where you can view anyones time live.
Sincerely,
Henry Gilbert
