Hey DC

Step up your game and dig into those deep pockets. go to Fled and buy their old supercross scoring tower...If they can have one in supercross, then you can have one at a Outdoor National... when we attend a supercross, part of the excitement is seeing the riders #s during qualifying as they post their times..

There is no reason why i have to attend a race and not know who is the fastest qualifier, How much time is left in the moto and who is in the top ten....... clock on the top counting down would be nice.. you finally have a nice podium for the riders ala MXGP...

The bikes are so loud there is no dam way to hear anything on a PA at the track.... small investment to help make the experience better... It can and should be done...

You can watch live timing on your phone, if you’re just checking lap times.

Crowd or just location? My phone worked fine when I was there about two years ago.

Yes I would love an option for live timing for both MX and SX to adjust how live it is to your stream. Mine are always 25-35 seconds behind

Oh and DC... maybe provide telescopes at the entry gate for each of us, since my favorite viewing spot at Millville is about the length of four sx tracks away from the scorers tower. I’ll need the telescope to see this new live timing tower. Thanks buddy! See you near the creek in the cell signal free valley of Minnesota.

I have Sprint (which is fine 99%of the time) top of the hill at the pits is better but head down the hill by the start/downhill or the other side of the valley by the big jump and things get dicey.

Hey DC

Step up your game and dig into those deep pockets. go to Fled and buy their old supercross scoring tower...If they can have one in supercross, then you can have one at a Outdoor National... when we attend a supercross, part of the excitement is seeing the riders #s during qualifying as they post their times..

There is no reason why i have to attend a race and not know who is the fastest qualifier, How much time is left in the moto and who is in the top ten....... clock on the top counting down would be nice.. you finally have a nice podium for the riders ala MXGP...

The bikes are so loud there is no dam way to hear anything on a PA at the track.... small investment to help make the experience better... It can and should be done...
Throw that flip phone away, get whats called a "Smart Phone", it contains smart scoring app.. Braaapapppapapapapapa

Hell yea and it passes the cost onto the fan. Great business model.

Hell you don’t even need to be at the event to get live updates.....even awesomer. Horrible business model because dc isn’t making money when you’re not at the race. Otherwise you weren’t getting it until cyclenews printed 3 weeks later.

Who remember that 1-900 number to call for results before the interwebs?

Mine worked at the truck stop down the hill last week. Pretty sure I had service a few years ago at the race with Verizon

Laughing telescope ? Are you trying to see mars while the races? Maybe just some binoculars would do the trick.

Its not the point of being able to have it on your phone, your at the race and want the experience of it.

Imagine being at a NASCAR race and not have the tower that shows the place of the drivers.

This sport is a multi million dollar business, treat it like one....

Hey let's go watch the race live, but check our phones for results....

NBA stadiums shouldn't have scoreboards either...

Here is an idea.

Quitchyabitching and step up to the fence and watch many of the best riders in the world actually racing.

Here are other tips that might help.

If a guy is in a position behind another rider, and he starts getting closer, he has a faster lap time.

If the rider in front starts to get further ahead, he has a faster lap time.

By a "wrist" watch. Notice what time it is when the race starts, and add 30 minutes. The race will be over 3 to 5 minutes later.

If that is too much trouble, watch for the white flag to come out, there will be one lap left then.

Would it really make sense making an expensive investment and arranging logistics and manpower to set up and teardown something that only a small percentage of people would use either because it wouldn't be accessible from everywhere or perhaps because they are watching the racing?

Op, please find at least 5 other trivial things to whine about. It should be easy for you because you have proven to be gifted in that area.

Oh, and if you can't hear the pa try getting a cheap fm radio and listening to it on the fm frequency that most nationals have available
