Re: USB to Serial Adapters

My 'old' laptop does not have a serial port so it is a good thing I bought the Microwizard K3 Grand Prix Kit that came with one! 8)

Re: Importing Racers into GPRM from Excel (or CSV)?

I don't see that file listed in my data file? :oops:

I have one labeled for AWANA GP racing.

I have some other questions but I will start my own thread. 8)

Re: District Champion -- despite "new" rules

This story is unbelievable. :shock:

Something has to be done to assure that is doesn't happen again.

Re: Equipment Checklist

I have the track and other goods in now.

I am going to get Torx bolts because the Hex head ones do not hold up very well.

Re: Piantedosi track assembly questions

I don't see any way of attaching the stoping section to the track except to go buy some bolts and nuts and screw it through the holes in the track?

Is this the way it is done? :?:

Thanks,

Re: Piantedosi track assembly questions

Second thought , That plate maybe your adaptor plate for your micro wizard timer... Freedom aluminum tracks come with a plate for the timer you listed at the time you order the track... The plate is the adapter for the Microwizard timer. The pre-drilled countersunk holes do not line up with the mou...

Re: Piantedosi track assembly questions

Randy,
That is good advice. :D

After I finish the assembly I will break out the timer and get it assembled.

I am sure that I will have many more questions before I am finished. :lol:

Piantedosi track assembly questions

Well the track has arrived! :mrgreen: The instructions that was sent with it (which are a little different than what is on the website) seems to be lacking. :? Either I am missing a binding plate (2") or one of the big plates goes somewhere that one of the binding plates are supposed to go? The...
