![]() ![]() Maybe it would be a wake-up call to them ala' the way Hondas move into FF woke up Ford (admittedly, just enough to supply new blocks, but who knows how much of an effect that had in improving thier european FF program)Įnterprises could branch out a bit and offer the devices to non-SCCA members at a higher price, covering all the vintage and some of the pro motorsports groups, while at the same time managing the ID numbers for all. Motorsports reg looks to be interested in the reporting functions we used to get before AMB goobered up thier web interface. I'm sure the club lawyers would think otherwise, but who cares? With a transition plan in place, AMB could be free to retrieve thier outdated equipment. THe chance for a duplicate at any given event would be rare, but it would mess up AMB data collection software. The transponders' ID number is unique and coded by AMB. THe track equipment was free or at low cost with a commitment that transponders be from AMB. tHAT could be done, but I am sure it violates the SCCA/track agreement(s) with AMB. that would imply that patent protection on that design (as well as the associated receive equipment) would expire around 2019 - probably a few years earlier. I doubt there's much of a business there but someone with time on their hands might want to check it out.Thats where I was going with my post regarding having enterprises do it. I would guess that the more simplisitic (relatively speaking) system we all have today is patent-free at this point. ![]()
