I have seen that before on the net. That is pretty wild. I bet that is pretty hard to do.

1 sixteen channel box is 350.00. I have 4 sixteen channel boxes and it took me 230 hours to program the computer and about 100 hours to set up all the lights.

See to much free time with not much racing going on.

The Ice storm in St. Louis has taken out my power and my lights. I will get the lights fixed as soon as possable but don't know when that will be.

Power is back on now. 60 hours with out and man did it get cold.

I should have the lights on tonight at about 70% of what they were. I have to make repairs to damage from the storm and should be at 100% by friday.

Hope everyone is ok.

Posted by: geogeorge

I'm back to 100%. All the controller and lights are working agian.

I guess a little frost bite never killed anyone but its worth it.

Posted by: Timmy301

good to hear. the local news had a bunch of coverage on those lights over last weekend.

Posted by: scramblerracer

Geoff- have you seen Deck the Halls? Nice lights- hope the ice didn't hurt the quads. Later Josh

Posted by: geogeorge

Fixed what damage the storm did. Lost the big flag pole light tree for this year but came up with a nice fix for that. So far everyone likes the fix.

Have to go see Deck the Halls. Maybe this weekend.

UP DATE

Over 360 cans of food collected so far. One person/persons left 280 cans of food. Was in the news and I think more will be on the way. My 1500 can goal is looking like it might be possable.

That's awesome Geoff. We took the kids to the other side of town tonight where a guy has a setup similar to yours. BTW do you have to stradle your lights before your turn them on.

Posted by: geogeorge

Can count is now up to 811.

No john I don't have to stradle the lights before truning them on.
there more like a honda, I cross my fingers and hope it all works.
