Title: Markus time vs corrected GMT
Post by: Tye Dyed Gary on August 04, 2022, 01:58:46 PM
  Many times this season "Markus" time has not corresponded with corrected GMT time. It has been off by as much as 10 minutes or as the past 2 weeks 35 seconds and 20 seconds. Many of us ether have GPS synchronized watches or insures there timing is synced with GMT. This has caused crowding around the mark-bot to adjust our start clocks. Maybe for the last series or next season, we use GPS time, where "Markus" just gives us the start order. and is the end of the start line.
  We, start the sequence at 1815 per SI's and each start is 3 minutes apart only without "Markus" doing a time check. First start 1818, Second start 1821, Third start 1824, and Fourth start 1827.
  This could lead to less crowding around Markus before the start and simplify programing "Markus".
ANYWAY, thank you to the race committee for doing a great job, and keeping everything sorted out.
