Chip Timing Research
As chip timing becomes more widely available and more affordable for smaller races, I have researched the services and costs
of five companies in and around Sussex. Whilst this is not intended as a recommendation, it does offer some guide as to
what is on offer and the rough cost involved. Any feedback from Sussex clubs who have used these or other companies would
be appreciated. Please click here to see the Chip Timing Document. Email dpiechoczek@gmail.com with comments or feedback.
