RaceAmerica ships the first group of Revolutionary Drag Race Trees with dual lighting profiles

June 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Santa Clara, Ca - RaceAmerica began shipping the first DTSS drag race trees this month.  The revolutionary DTSS drag race tree sets the benchmark for the industry and solves problems associated with the phasing out of the traditional incandescent bulb. The DTSS is the first drag race tree incorporating LEDs that was designed specifically around the intended use of LED’s. The new product also is the only drag tree to provide the flexibility of a traditional lighting pattern and one based on the natural rapid illumination of LED’s.

Following in the footsteps of the manufacture end of 230VAC incandescent bulbs, the standard 110VAC incandescent floodlight will soon disappear from the market. Replacement LED floodlights, which work fine in households, present problems for the time precision sport of drag racing. The change in speed of the light response, high cost of LED floodlights and shortened lifespan of LED replacement lights poses problems for drag race operators and racers.  

Details regarding the problems and solutions of LED drag tree lighting and the DTSS can be found in our technical documents at: http://www.raceamerica.com/dtss.html and Video at: http://www.raceamerica.com/treemp4.html

RaceAmerica shipped numerous trees to early adopters including established race operators in the United States, Mexico and Russia as well as event marketing specialists, Jackson-Dawson. The new tree is compatible with all RaceAmerica drag-timing systems and can be programmed to operate with most other brands’ systems.

“We are working to ensure the compatibility with other timing systems as we know it is the perfect solution for the industry,” said Dennis Laczny, President of RaceAmerica. “The industry needs to ensure that innovative new products are available to all industry operators. We are therefore open to working with other timing suppliers.”

The first DTSS prototype was well received at the PRI show in Orlando Florida late last year. Since then RaceAmerica worked diligently to complete final touches to meet its June shipping schedule.
