A company from Fernley, Nevada is marketing a new timing and scoring system that does away with the traditional transponder. Instead, the system, developed by Zoomius, Inc., relies on RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) antennae stationed alongside the track and a passive electronic marker that looks like a mailing label, sticks to the front of the fairing, does not require a power source on the bike and costs 40 cents. The system was used at a recent USGPRU race at Reno-Fernley Raceway, and company officials say they are now ready to bring the system to market. It is the extension of the company’s work in developing electronic information management packages for track day and racing organizations, and the system handled timing, scoring, gridding and results for the two-day event. Zoomius online registration and information management systems have been adopted by race organizations such as Willow Springs Motorcycle Club (WSMC) and the American Federation of Motorcyclists (AFM) in northern California. A full report on the system will be published in the next issue of Roadracing World & Motorcycle Technology magazine. For more information, Zoomius can be contacted at P.O. Box 2498, Fernley, Nevada, 89408, (888) 966-6487, [email protected] .
