From a press release issued by CMRA President Brooks Gremmels:

The CMRA has just purchased a new AMB TranX260 timing system. The purchase was made through Mirage Race Scoring and Timing, an authorized AMB i.t. distributor. With this system, especially designed for motorcycle and car racing, one operator can manage professional timekeeping for an entire event. The system provides instant and accurate results that can be shown in real time on scoreboards, announcers monitors. televisions in pit areas and now, live on the Internet. This system was chosen because the CMRA is determined to offer its racers the best value in club racing. With names such as NASCAR, CART, IRL, Craftsman Truck Series and AMA Pro Racing using the AMB system, the CMRA feels it is in good company. The initial purchase includes 64 transponders, a TranX260 extended loop decoder, televisions, laptop computers and ancillary equipment. The primary funding for this $30,000 acquisition is being provided by contributors to the CMRA. It is anticipated that next season this system will be expanded to cover the CMRA’s sprint series, as well.

Mirage has provided its professional timing and scoring services using the TranX260 system for events such as FUSA National Roadrace Series, National Arenacross Series, The Montreal Supercross and the FUSA USA National Dirt Track Series.

This new timing and scoring system joins the CMRA’s track repaving project at Oak Hill Raceway, its ongoing purchase of Airfence and its new timing trailer furnished by Pace American as visible signs of the Club’s embrace of the 21st century.
