Why cant the clubs that put their hands up for these large events have up to date equipment and software. The revenue for just one large event would more than cover the cost of a new, not just secondhand PC, and the licence for a decent software.
Surely this is not too much to ask.
For smaller clubs, ACT in particular, we don't get enough members to allow for us to constantly upgrade our PC's,
ACTMCRC has just bought AMBrc system and that took our club almost 2 years to get enough money to buy it, in this time we ran 2 state titles and still didn't have enough cash to buy the gear
for those who are disappointed that the race meeting had a few flaws in it why not donate some cash to the club instead of bitching about how this particular club can't afford the latest and greatest gear
