Wet the area near the timers, or get a big fan to blow the dust away. QED

Watering dust just makes slickness for two or three runs and then it's dusty again.

I like the idea of a giant vacuum cleaner to suck up all the dust, and then you deposit it in the worn spots after the event so it has a month or so to re-acclimate itself to the ground.

In reply to Knurled:

I have this mental image of a 20' wide vacuum nozzle suspended over the finish line... occasionally sucking up errant course workers...

We talked to Mike at Farmtec today. He says there is a software update for the transmitters that should solve the problem. The only catch it they have to go back to Farmtec for the update.

More to come.

Another update.

We sent the transmitters back to Farmtek. They changed a eprom on the board to solve the transmit problem.

We put 144 official runs across them today with 0 missed triggers. The entire timing system worked flawlessly all day long. It was wonderful.
