Oops, made an error. The folks I was talking about unveiled their original idea under the name “Flagger” at PRI. While I think Flagtronic is a better name, these are different guys trying to do the same thing, and much closer to fruition and production that the Flagtronic guys.

Some well known people behind Flagger. Lots of experience. I have seen a demo and it works.

Only know a little about Flagtronic, but they’ve already changed their communications mode in a massive way after seeing how Flagger did it.

Flagger doesn’t replace flagging personnel. As a matter of fact, it augments flag workers by allowing them to GET inside your car! It’s controlled locally by the people watching the area you’re coming into.

Let’s face it, the number one complaint/concern/violation on-track at HPDE and club race events, for sure, are flag violations.

It’s a source of frustration for organizers and participants alike. This is a working, redundant and elegant solution that is cost effective. It’s worth checking out.

looks awesome. can integration is awesome. hope PCA buys it and makes it perhaps available but not required

Paul, I made a mistake. I’m talking about a concept shared with me at at PRI before the introduction of Flagtronic’s site, so I am talking about “Flagger,” not Flagtronic. Both have the same goal.

I met the four principals for Flagger at a meeting about a month ago, not knowing what was in the works or anything about it. Turns out three are current racers in different series, two have substantial experience in inexpensive, well functioning racing electronics and two are very successfully business developers.

They were good because they didn’t tell me anything and asked me to figure it out. It didn’t take long. And for every question I had, as a event chair, a race steward, an official and as a racer, they had an answer. A good one. Pretty psyched about it because it fits a need that’s apparent and that has appeared on the pages of RL MANY times, already.

The price point of Flagtronic is little less than what Flagger guys spoke about in our meeting, but they’re both in the ballpark.

There is expandable functionality, which insures that its not a one trick pony and will remain useful for a long time.

The EMS response features and incident coordination for the organizers and operators of the event are what sold me. Fantastic use of the technology.

This could be a great resource but I see limited application in Club Racing due to cost which is not limited to just the in car installation. Hey, we can’t even get people to monitor Ch 15 in PCA Club Racing and other than programming the channel on your radio, it’s free!
