Adam, you���re right. No delusions here. Just wanting to create more of an experience for our local community, which might in turn BUILD and sustain our community. Slowly. Incrementally. Kinda desperate for something, b/c road racing (here, everywhere) needs a little TLC. What do we have to lose?
The last time I watched the Track Cycling World Championships live stream, there were 34 people watching worldwide....34... in the whole world... I think we may need to accept that nobody is as interested in our local amateur racing as we are.
I can send a file with the finish lynx camera if someone wants to work on that file.

Go for it! I don’t have the capacity to volunteer time right now, but I’d happily provide some financial support for any reasonable infrastructure costs related to a project like this. Especially if there was a focus on getting new—and particularly younger—riders interested in the sport.

Lap times are in the FinishLynx system but to harvest them the images need to be marked. Marking every single rider for every lap, as is done for CX, would be very labor intensive and not really practical. Machine evaluation of the images would be a very big project. I am sure FinishLynx would be very interested in this. Reportedly a few of the RFID systems will interface with FinishLynx. We have looked at a few but have been unable to get them to function as advertised. In addition only the more expensive active chip systems can read a wide finish line like at PIR, and even that is questionable.
Currently the pack lap times are generally marked but it would take some work to format them to something publishable.

It's all just software is usually the answer one gets from people who don't
know the first thing about software.

Dude... you guys are getting crazy with it. I was just hoping to see some hotspot points.
Sure, if you have about $2,400 to hire me for a day, I’ll take a stab at
it. ;-)

John and all,
It is just software. I am sure there are software engineers on here that could write that code in a day.

I guess the question is: how much would you (and everyone else) be willing
to pay for that? I very much doubt our existing entry fees would even begin
to cover that expense (of everything Hans listed; maybe just publishing
hotspot scoring is reasonable, but I'd have to let someone with
results-tallying experience chime in on that). Renting the track at PIR is
not cheap, and I believe I heard that the price even went up this year.
Somehow I doubt Kevin and William are laughing their way to the bank every

HI
Obviously this request slows down the speed at which results can be posted, and creates more work for officials, but as a consumer of the PIR product I'd like to see a breakdown of each hotspot sprint on the race results. Similar to what a track points race scoring sheet might look like (for the track savvy).
Is anyone else interested in seeing this on results or am I just being annoying?
