Service Clock

[zerodegreec]

Looking for a service clock. Ultimate ideal dream would be a dual display with Rally time and a countdown timer. Realistically I am just looking for a large display countdown timer.

Anyone use/have one? Where did you get it? How much did you pay?

It's called a co-driver! :)

I am the co-driver... now what?

what do you mean by 'service clock'? rally computer?


what are you gonna do with a countdown timer on stage?

I am assuming he is refering to a large clock/timer diaplay to use at service... is that correct? One clock for rally time... one as a countdown to let everyone know visually how much time they have. I like to announce how much time we have every couple minutes to remind everyone... a display would be cool though.

We'll try good ol' clock with white board below it giving the out time, that reminds me still need to find the "good ol' clock" :crazy:

Have a white board on the door of the trailer that is used for info/stuff for the service crew. Expected back time, Service time etc. I am looking for a timer to put next to the board. When we get back to service I will set the time and do my thing.

I don't know if we are still doing it this way at the regionals Bryan, but last time I checked we were running off of those atomic clock thing ma-bobs for official rally time. You can pick them up for super cheap practically anywhere, they have a big LCD display, and they should be automatically synced to rally time. I'd suggest then just writing your time out on the white board directly next to the clock.

My 2 cents :mrgreen:

Yes they use an atomic at kananaskis. Good idea about finding a desk clock (atomic). Be nice to find a battery powered.

I found a diy kit that I may be able to build my own timer with a key pad.

Here's my setup:

Mounted on a whiteboard. Below the clock is a kitchen countdown timer.

In/out times written on the whiteboard. Whiteboard hangs from the tent by zipties.
