Finish Lynx Track and Field Timing Service

Grimes Times works with Finish Lynx timing equipment fully networked with a HY-TEK Meet Management data base.  Our Finish Lynx system incorporates two full color, high resolution cameras. The two camera capability allows us to provide a reverse-angle camera for high level competitions where close finishes may be difficult to read using only one camera.  The high resolution full color cameras ensure proper identification of finishers in each race.   Through the use of Radio Lynx, we provide wireless gun start eliminating the need for wires at each start line. Our Electro Numeric two-sided finish line clock provides athletes and spectators with a live view of split and finish times.

Entries may be imported through a variety on online athlete registration systems such as directathletics.com, athletic.net, CoachO.com, and ezmeetresults.com.  Our HY-TEK meet management system utilizes multiple result computers ensuring timely and accurate results for large competitions.  We also have the capability through the use of HY-TEK to time cross country and smaller road races of fewer than 200 finishers. 

Upon request we also provide an electronic scale and Track Master System for inspecting implements.
