Guard Beam Option Use
This section only pertains to tracks using the guard beam option. Once the guard beam is
installed, it can help enforce the no deep staging rule. The guard beam line is used as the
starting line and any car that stages too deeply will set off the guard beam and will be
disqualified from the race.
Results System Option: Daktronics Automated Results System
(CARS)
The Daktronics Automated Results System (CARS) can be ordered as an option. This
program can perform many important tasks for the announcer and tower personnel.
CARS can be used in conjunction with the C-44 timer and receive race information, and
relay that information to the announcer. National and track records are kept. Permanent
event information can also be kept. Ladder charts, pairings and qualifying orders can be
generated and printed, and much more.
When CARS is used with the C-44, the next driver name and dial-in can be retrieved
from CARS after the next vehicle number is entered. This is done for the left lane by
pressing <CTRL><F4>, and the right lane <CTRL><F12>. Auto retrieval from CARS
after the entering of next vehicle number can also be enabled by pressing
<CTRL><F10>. The word “Auto” will show on the monitor to the right of the left lane
Next Dial-in, when enabled. Press the <CTRL><F10> keys to toggle it On/Off.
