Trakus

Is there anyone still actually working at Trakus? I know the chiclets still function (usually) at tracks around the world, but I've been trying to get a simple customer service item fixed for awhile now and have not gotten any response to e-mails, called up & it went straight to voicemail (no reply either) and their twitter feed has made 1 tweet in the last 5 years. Anyone know what's up with this place?

Took them about 4 weeks to respond to me.

NYRA Trakus

Anyone know where the NYRA Trakus charts are located now. They seem to have moved to a different URL or are not working anymore.

The charts at NYRA..com can't be reached.
The entire tnet site can't be reached.

Trakus is now useless 100%

And, yo can't make this crap up, the error message is.....

Operation timed out!

NYRA charts were the beet - that gave the final 1/4 for all distances.

Trakus is an underachiever.

The whole Trakus site must have been down for awhile, but it appears to be back now.

Thanks Andy!

NYRA works now for me, as well as the tnet site.

LOVE the final 1/4 for all turf races NYRA provides.

Those are actually the best part of Trakus. There are almost never problems with the individual segments of races after the first one.

Does anyone know where to find the Del Mar Trakus data these days (assuming it still exists)? The link at Trakus takes you to workout data now.

They switched to Gmax, which is a GPS timing system, and much more accurate.
