Jeff:
We had the same problem at the first BFG event at Peru with the new
laser heads. I asked John Carriere and he advised that the
manufacturer has noted the problem and provides an optical filter for
the receiver unit in the head. It's a $35 fix and John says it works
very well. Details from <jacircts@mich.com>.

Subject: Laser timing head problems
Has anyone else been having intermittent problems with their newer laser
timing heads? Sorry, I don't know the mfg of ours. They seem to start
missing starts/finishes when the sun comes out full force. We're going
to try some (heavy) boxes over both ends to shade them for the next
event but I was wondering if anyone else had a better solution, (a
filter?).
Thanks,
Jeff Cashmore
