CalClub uses the JACircuits system and is very pleased with it's operation
and reliability (although we modified the light set-up - didn't care for the
"crates" set-up). This year we are implementing the AutoX/TS
http://www.autox.kawvalley.net/ ) scoring system (network version). We have
only used it at practice events so far, first full Championship test this
weekend!
