Tampa FL (January 27, 2010) ChronoTrack hosted an impressive 170 attendees, representing over 85 timing companies from North America, at its annual timing conference which was the largest collection of industry leaders ever. The much anticipated release of the B-Tag™ took center stage. This purely passive RFID tag located in the racer’s race bib is best in its class and has been exhaustively tested in all conditions to set the industry standard. It offers accuracy within hundredths of a second with a 99.8%+ read rate and will revolutionize electronic race timing by putting the timing device on the bib where it belongs.

“We listened to our customers. We have worked on this product for over 18 months and have tested prototypes exhaustively. This will set the industry standard, guaranteed. Our network of timers, events and athletes told us that we needed to come to market with a product they can use without fail and we are proud to have met their demand.” says ChronoTrack President and CEO Daniel Howell.

ChronoTrack also launched its new MiniTrack Timing system at the conference. This pint size but full featured system comes with a 12 foot timing line and has the power to drive a full 14 foot timing line as easily as its bigger brothers the 400 and 800 systems. This technology will maximize a timer’s ability to cost effectively offer more splits and to reach the triathlon and adventure race market with one simple cost effective solution. This system also includes hot swappable 18 volt lithium power tool batteries to maximize ease of use and reduce cost. These batteries can be purchased at any major home improvement store.

“This MiniTrack Timing system by itself is everything a timer needs to score triathlons or the smaller 5K and 10K races. It is also fully compatible with and can be attached to the larger 800 and 400 series controllers. Now a timer can cost effectively offer more splits and backup lines which bring more value to their larger events. Its functionality and compact size are a perfect combination of cost, form and function” says Bob Finnegan Director of Business Development.

ChronoTrack expands its network of strategic partners to add value to races and diversify service to drive participant experience. Utilizing powerful technologies from companies such as Impinj Inc, MPI, CradlePoint, Bazu Sports and Active.com ChronoTrack offers a one stop solution to all timing and technology needs.

They redefined the industry standard with their UHF RFID Controller and Tag system and successfully demonstrated this at The ING New York City Marathon collecting more than 1.1 millions times with an error rate of less than 0.009%! ChronoTrack is slated, in the near future, to time the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, Bloomsday and the Rotterdam Marathon plus other events involving over 4 million athletes in 2010.
