The industry apparently does not have the free cash required to invest in technology that might improve the overall quality of the timing very marginally and give us better lengths behind data at the fractional calls too.
Trakus was actually an attempt to do that because it comes with other benefits like the chicklets, ground loss etc..
It's just a fact that Trakus makes some mistakes and is not consistent in it's ground loss measurements from track to track. The technology needs some work.
Given that reality, there was nothing nefarious about the change or with an individual either timing races on their own or watching races trying to find errors in the running lines.

I didn't say "nefarious"...I said INCOMPETENT. An industry that can't manage to properly time its races is INCOMPETENT. And if they can't handle a rudimentary task such as that...how can they be entrusted to handle something complex...like the drug issue that plagues the sport?
