NEW In Car Flag Alert System

We are pleased to introduce the NEW in-car Flag Alert System, which has been tested and is ready for use on the Spring Mountain Motor Resort & Country Club road course. Designed by Gary Hardesty, Club Spring Mountain Charter Member, and the creator of the state-of-the-art Track Marshall System, the in-car Flag Alert System is the best way to stay safe on the race track, and the only one of its kind in the world.

The system will alert you immediately from Race Control as track conditions change, including the ability to communicate directly to you in your individual car, through your unique ID number.

The system displays the following flags in full color and any ambient lighting condition:

* Green
* Yellow
* Red
* White

On an individual basis, the system can give you the following flags:

* Blue passing flag
* Black flag
* Yellow flag

The new In Car system consists of a small transceiver module, which can be mounted in any convenient location, and a small, rugged, high brightness LED display module. The system works wirelessly, driven by commands from the Race Control software. Long distance communication assures in-car reliability. 12 volt operation allows the system to be used in any vehicle, with simple, fast, non-technical installation.

Only a limited supply of these units will be available for the upcoming race weekend on June 9, so if you are interested, please contact Simon Shepard by email simonshepard05@yahoo.com, or by phone at (714) 369-3361 to be the first to use this state-of-the-art In-Car system at the June race. The price is $1,195.00 plus installation. Production is being expedited for the fall season and we expect to have plenty of In-Car systems available before the September season.
