Race timing systems?

[Deleted]

For several years I've been half-heartedely looking for a cheap race timing system. In particular, I've been looking for a cheap one, something that uses off-the-shelf RFID tags, and a 'normal' laptop computer.

I thought this make a useful service at the Palace (selfishly), and elsewhere.

I've found one (http://www.rfidtiming.com) that's around £3K + £5 per timing band + one laptop.

Has anyone seen one cheaper?

Perhaps have a word with Preston or Kim Anderson at SERRL as they are working on a fundraising campaign to pay for such a system later this year - I'm sure they will have done some good research.

What are you planning?
