additional comments by Steve Pond:
Our decision doesn't really have much to do with Tekin, other than they're one of many manufacturers that have made speedos with the dynamic timing features. It's not that the dynamic timing is of "no value" (you're putting words in our mouth), they're too complex and require too much expense and investment of time to sort them out for the typical stock class racer. This is the reason that it will be fazed out by 2012. The 2011 season will still allow the use of these speedos, but they HAVE to be running the Zero Timing mode. If you have a Tekin RS speedo, it needs to have the 212 software. The 208 software is not legal.

We are, however, working on a specification for the 2012 season that will not allow programmable speedos in the stock class. Of course they can still be used in the modified class. We delayed the move to give the racers, shops and manufacturers plenty of time to decide what to do with existing inventory. Yes, for some racers that insist on staying in stock class, this will be a cost for them. It's the best solution we could arrive at that brings stock class racing back to an somewhat approachable level, and gives everyone a sufficient amount of time to respond to the change.

This by no means ALL of the posts,the rest can be found on the R.O.A.R. forum.
