How does anyone who wears glasses ever get comfortable with binoculars? I never have. I have used the zoom lens on a camera (monocular) to watch races. In any case, Trackus can be informative for what you can't see (and I haven't been to a track with it, just basing that remark on TV), but I'd rather look at the real thing

I was at a dinner last year and this technology was presented and discussed. The speaker (who held a financial interest in the product) asserted that it would "revolutionize the game."
I think it disappears. Unless the money behind it forces it in everyone's face regardless of whether it helps or not.

It will revolutionize the game because you wont need BRIS figs and Beyer figs, they will use velocity figs. People wont have to guess at ground loss, which is not the same as Beyer figs but it's also a reason why it will replace these figs.

I also think that it will be virtually required someday because of the training times. I could foresee a time in which all tracks will have to have it to get accurate training times, and the demand will be there because of the public money and interest is at stake. Training times are ridiculous, and everyone knows how often these times are wrong, missed, or just totally forgotten. I think this type of technology will allow a more accurate reflection of training times, and will be important. I am not sure how to address freestanding training facilities, but Trackus will at least make it better for tracks to record training times... ALostTexan
