Southfield, Mich. (Oct 25, 2007) —SAI Timing & Tracking System is the next step in the evolution of transponder timing. This system was developed and designed with the technical expertise of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) industry researchers and the experience of many race directors and timers from around the world.
The driving forces behind this innovative system is veteran timer David O. Simms. David has been involved in timing races for over 20 years and has been mentored by two of the best in the business, Mike Burns (Burns Computer Services) and Chris Tatreau (Tatreau Consulting).

Examples include results via the phone line, the first online registration platforms (Sportsworld), transponder timing (ChampionChip), and bringing live results to the web.
