I must plead some ignorance (lap/segment time vs. overall?). Jeff Porasik's
crew chief Don Shelton uses them while everyone else uses iCards plugged into
Nintendo gameboys for real-time transponder data.

I'm looking for an education and I know this is the place to get one!
Today my copy of "Classic Motorsport" came. I noticed a nice looking pair of
Elysee mechanical stopwatches mounted on a brushed aluminum plate advertised
on page 109 ( or see: http://www.classiccarseats.com/watches.php ). These are
a rally clock set.
I've never participated in a timed rally and only have a cursory knowledge
about the events. Timed events over a prescribed route in which the driving
team has to come as close as possible to an ideal time for the route. Points
subtracted for early / late arrivals. I understand why having a timepiece
would be handy for the team. Why two stopwatches? How do they get used along
the way to achieve the "perfect" time for the route?
I have no interest in Elysee time pieces. They are very nice looking, but at
$495 a bit pricey for me.
So . . .educate me!
