Lap Timers @ B'bgallo

Hostilemonk · 03-03-2008, 09:46 AM

Looking to buy a lap timer for B'bgallo. Probably going to get the usual Ultra (or the Mini-Ultra) like most everyone else

However, is anyone using a GPS timer similar to these GPS Lap Timing or http://www.racelogic.co.uk/ . From what I've read Perth is not well serviced by the satellites and they are not that accurate here - not enough satellites and/or not in good orbit locations for accuracy. Any comments.

PS: and thank you but no farkling comments along the lines of how "Ultra's don't record laps greater than two minutes" or similar

PPS: anyone got a s/hand Ultra for sale?

Everyone seems to use the Ultras, and theres always a beacon there for them...

I would say get the Ultra...

Oh and they are capable of timing a 15 minute lap...

Must admit a lap timer would be nice.In the mean time I'll just have to guess my times! ROCK on 56's or is that dreaming my lap times, sometimes I can't tell the difference

Are you talking about the XT racing Ultra-lap timer? I've got one I use here and it's great. I hope there is a beacon at Barbagallo.

Yes - the most used one here from what I know - the display and receiver (no transmitter) is about AUS$279 from http://www.superbikesupply.com.au/en...subtype=Timers

As most use them someone 'usually' sets up a beacon.

Still looking for cheaper price or option.

Go direct to XT racing...

Got mine for $262.71 delivered to my door...

Will be cheaper now due to exchange rate...

I just got the Mini-Lap version of the ultra for my track days, will it work with the beacon that works with the ultra?

Jesus.....I think I got mine for $130CAD. I hope not everything is going to be $$$$$$ in Australia.

Your hopes will be dashed.

Hostilemonk · 04-03-2008, 05:52 PM

Apatheticend - suggest you look at everything you may need and compare prices - you may find it is cheaper to buy whatever in Canada and ship it out with you - its often cheaper to buy direct from the US and have the parts/items for the bike shipped here.

Eg current price for XT Ultr direct appears to be US$199 - converts to AUD$213.20 for the Ultra receiver only and about US$20 postage which is at least AUD$40 dollars cheaper than buying it here.

Rich · 04-03-2008, 05:58 PM

And you will have it in quick time to HM...

Mine was less than 2 weeks...

Hey Marty,
were you dreaming of the short track ?????

Col · 04-03-2008, 07:23 PM

56's on the short track are "SLOW" ... That would mean that Battista, Schnierer, Stronach and some others would still beat you on the long track .....

All of the work I plan on doing to the bike this year are already bought and will be coming with me. Suspension will be top of my list for next season but I've spent a mint this winter getting ready for the start of our season. I'll still be having my new bits sent to me from Canada. I've got a friend that owns a tuning shop and for example, I can get a Penske Tripple clicker of about $750CAD. Or Ohlins fork internals for $1000CAD.

It will hurt when it comes to buying parts in Oz but it is outweighed by the opportunity to ride so much more. I sispect the racers will be of another calibre there too. Heaps more seat time = better riders.

Can't wait.
See you guys soon.

US Superbikes.com Randy will look after you $180us for timer and $80us for transmitter.

Benno · 07-03-2008, 11:41 AM

Excuse my ignorance but what cable length do you need? Does it run from the bike's batteries or something?
