Flagtronic in car warning light system
I noticed a post at the FRP site about the use of the Flagtronic track condition warning system being available at some of their events. Very interesting system capabilities at what seamed a reasonable cost. I believe I saw that using the GPS option it can report when a car is not following the normal track trajectory. Can also do lap timing.
Is this in SCCA future?

Interesting items about in car systems.
If research is done you will find out that at a track like Road America, a very tall mast is needed on the control building and there are still problems in Thunder Valley. Other tracks also have reception problems. Even cars that had a specified antenna location had this problem. The other item is if a dash is flashing red for an engine problem and the driver ignores it, do you think a driver will see/notice anything else? The problem can be solved by wiring in the rain/tail light to flash when it's activated. Then it must still be wired into the car. So eliminating easy rental/throw in systems.
What about series or sanction body crossover if different systems are used?
A more cost effective approach would be a corner light board system.
