Pit Boards...Educate me

I'm thinking I may get one to hopefully help Tyler out. For the folks that have used them, which ones do you like? Since I've never used one, not sure if the 4th row is helpful, or just makes it more bulky to haul around?

I found http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection.asp?Product=5206 with 3 rows.

and this one with 4 rows. http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productdetails.asp?RecID=8624

Anyone have one they don't use anymore for sale?

Thanks,
rob

I never have understood why they are so expensive.

 

Spiros from Team Veloce was getting rid of a bunch of stuff from their team garage. Pit boards were among them but I'm not sure if he still has them. They were priced extremely well.

 

Gets no better

 

Thanks, is he a member here, or does anyone have contact info for him?

 

Not sure. I'll send you a pm with his e-mail. Just tell him you heard if from me.

 

...yup

 

I've heard the digital boards were more trouble than they're worth. Any feedback on those?

 

No kidding. I'm on a Walmart budget.

 

Yeah Rob, a dry erase marker or 4 and a board and yer good to go.
I'm amazed riders can see the boards down the straight at 160MPH +

 

Actually, they are very easy to use, and no cards to go missing.

 

Alan, thank you for your help. Everyone else thanks for the info.

 

just dont get the one Iannone used last year at Catalunya....

 

careful....you will be accused of being a NASCAR fan stereotype

 

We sell quite a few of the motocross style pit boards to the endurance racers. They are cheap and easy. You can get different colors and graphics so your rider can pick it out.

 

I like having 4 rows so I can use the top one for identification when theres 30 pit boards being shown on lap 1 of a DSB race.

It depends what info you want on there. I like to have lap, gap, and position. I use the digital board (black and gray), and although I haven't been the one holding it out there I can say it's easy to read, even at VIR through the kink.

Plus it saves the hassle of trying to shuffle through a stack of cards to find the right number.

 

what do you possibly need to know after lap 1? i'm just glad i made it to lap 2 alive
