TRACK TESTIMONIALS

Shakespeare County Raceway - England
Just a note to say thanks for all the time and effort you guys put into your products. Our original system was bought in 1998, with several upgrades since then and always your support has been excellent. The current product is exceptionally user friendly, with very clear and well laid out user screens, which assist our operators to run all kind of events at our venue. The main race screen is particularly informative of not only the current race but also their status in the qualifying list and the current track status.

National Sand Drag Association
The National Sand Drag Association relies on accurate timing, and Portatree provides this to us. We need precise timing well past one-thousandths of a second to determine winners in our races, and our Portatree System is able to handle this with ease. Al Smyth at Portatree provides second to none technical support, even when needed on Race Day. This is why Portatree is the Official Timing System of the National Sand Drag Association.

Okuma America Corporation

Okuma America Corporation is the primary sponsor for the BME Top Fuel Dragster, and we sponsor hospitality events at eight NHRA races each season. The Portatree simulator is the centerpiece of our hospitality center and always generates a lot of interest and excitement. We have qualifying during the day, and at the end of the day, the top 16 players go head to head, just like the real drivers! The winner gets an Okuma/BME watch and bragging rights for the day! Okuma owns two Portatree Deluxe Simulator Systems, and we use them at trade shows and our distributor open houses. They are always a popular addition to any event. The people at Portatree are very helpful and provide great customer service -- on the rare occasion that we need it. Great product - great company!

Time doesn't allow me to enter many divisional or national events, which limits the number of runs I can make in a season. I only made 21 runs during the 2007 season and that isn't nearly enough to get better on the tree. Reaction times are still the first step in winning rounds. The only way to compete with the guys that race every week is to practice on a Portatree Eliminator. I use the Eliminator in my motor home, and in the race car so I can even practice in the staging lanes. I also own a Nation Event Tree, which is great to use when the space is available. It's great to use during the off season to stay sharp. It's also fun to challenge friends at a reaction time party. I also like the full size tree to setup a new car by positioning the tree the same distance from the car as it is at an NHRA event. It's a must when setting up a blinder or practicing outside in the sun, just as if you were at the track. The only way to win rounds and races is to prepare for it and practice does make perfect. The more you do it, the better you get. The better you get, the more you'll win.

I remember when I first used the Eliminator Practice Tree. Once I used it, I was hooked!!! The Portatree Eliminator Practice Tree and National Event Tree allowed me to improve my reaction times. But most important, it allowed me to practice my starting line procedure over and over. Like an hour at the driving range, the Eliminator practice tree allows me to "adjust" my hand location and thought process so I'm ready to react. I even use the trans-brake adapter so I can practice in my car.
Al Smyth, founder of Portatree, not only races but he also builds timing systems for many race tracks. He has a complete understanding of rollouts, how drag racing starting lines are setup, and the timing between tree and track. That's knowledge that other companies can't give you.
Portatree's PC Weather Center Deluxe and Paging System is very easy to use and setup and I was more than impressed with the results. Once the system is setup and several runs are entered in various weather conditions it allows you to adjust the degree of prediction by compensation for what YOUR car does, not what the math tells you. In the Northeast the weather changes so fast a Pager is a must.
Al Smyth and his group listen to the racers and respond with upgrades. I had requested that the weather station give Vapor Pressure readings to help with the tuning of my Injected Alcohol Dragster. In three weeks I had an upgrade disk and it made a difference.
