Looking forward to another great training series in hopefully a little warmer weather!<br /><br />VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-57032872351892594812014-01-28T21:24:34.260-05:002014-01-28T21:24:34.260-05:00I could but the chance for damage etc would be the...I could but the chance for damage etc would be there, and right now I don't know what the deal is in terms of liability/legal stuff for me to rent out a trailer. Until I feel comfortable renting it out I'm going to stick with me driving it to somewhere, using it, and driving it back.<br /><br />Actually in the last week or so I've had some good communication with promoters that used Carpe Diem Racing's services already as well as potential new people. I made the commitment to the trailer before I had anything "in the bag" but I feel that it will end up justifying itself in the long term (of course, else I wouldn't have ordered it). Oh, right. I ordered it. I haven't yet said that in a new post but I'm scrambling right now to get stuff finalized for Bethel, so I haven't been working on any blog posts.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-46758787488504324132014-01-28T17:14:51.730-05:002014-01-28T17:14:51.730-05:00Aki, couldn't you offer to rent the trailer to...Aki, couldn't you offer to rent the trailer to other race promoters for race day (and make some extra $$$s)?<br /><br />VassosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-64426392701024021222014-01-21T21:06:08.327-05:002014-01-21T21:06:08.327-05:00I considered an RV but they're not optimized f...I considered an RV but they're not optimized for doing business through a window, at least not the ones I've seen. If they were similar in price I might have considered it but they're about 2x as expensive and would require a lot more upkeep than a glorified box on wheels.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-52055364599642354912014-01-21T20:05:24.707-05:002014-01-21T20:05:24.707-05:00Have you thought of something like a used RV or sm...Have you thought of something like a used RV or small camper?

I was even thinking of some kind of enclosed box up on the roof so the camera is "indoors", i.e. we can review it from inside the trailer.<br /><br />The only thing with Bethel is that I need to keep everything away from the finish line area, at least they way I'm planning it (with the finish on the hill), so registration would need to be in a different area (i.e. Turn One, so about 150 yards away).<br /><br />The ideal ideal would be a periscope type thing that goes up through the roof for the finish line camera, registration inside, results available almost immediately.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-35474860592928565592014-01-18T14:49:39.431-05:002014-01-18T14:49:39.431-05:00Think outside the box.

Set your camera/cameras on top, use the door as a entrance for officials to go and review the finish on the computer. Transfer the data to the registration computer for the results. Results in 10 minutes max. Rather than running back and forth to make changes.<br />Any licensing issues can be done by just turning around and looking out the door to the officials. Most of these trailers are so portable, that yeah, set-up is about 5-10 minutes at the most.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
