SCORE switched to a new tracking company (we never got our GPS data for the 1000 from the last one). International Racing Consultants has a more advanced unit.
“The IriTrack® System monitors your vehicle location and speed automatically, sending an alert to the Control Center if the vehicle stops, takes a big hit or experiences an inclination . The onboard computer records information every 5 seconds and sends your information to the IRC Control Center every 120 seconds via the Iridium Satellite Data Modem. You don’t have to do anything to make it happen. Just hook it up to the vehicle battery and IriTrack® does the rest.
Additionally, the IriTrack® System allows the driver/passenger of the vehicle to send manually two different types of alerts to IRC Control. Pushing the Green Button once will immediately inform Control Center that at the GPS point at which the button was pressed exists another competitor experiencing an emergency or that there is a possible course hazard at that GPS point. Alternatively, push the Red Button and notify IRC Control that you require Emergency Assistance immediately.”
Let’s hope we never need to push the red button.
I’ll post when we figure out how to track 1101 via the web during the race.
