New timing system feedback

So - what does everyone think about the new timing system?
Personally I thought it was great, and helped to speed things up quite noticeably.
The only downside I can see is that there might be some confusion with 3 people sharing a car, and also that we don't get to find out our stage by stage times until the end of the stage. Takes all the fun out of trash talking your mates between runs. :)
new timing system
We can just use black tape to cross over the competition numbers that are not used and leave only the one assigned to the current driver. The other thing is that we should get numbers on both sides of the car to make it easier for the officials for both the start and the finish.
Timing
Good point - putting tape over the numbers is how the SWTCC does it at Benger, and that works pretty well.
My opinion as a timing
My opinion as a timing official the only time I looked at the competitor numbers on the cars was when we were locating a competitor, not for actual timing purposes. I found using competitor timing cards more useful.
