After marathon RFID set to enter your local racing circuit
How about a photo finish at your local race but who can afford those high speed cameras which start off at a whopping $25,000 a piece? Seems impossible for sure but why depend on those high end cameras when you have RFID out here to offer you the same excitement of photo finish even at smaller events.

Hardcard Systems and Alien Technology are making efforts to recreate that same magic with RFID and that too at just a few dollars per competitor. Up till now RFID was a perfect matchlinks for marathon races but tracking cars moving sixteen times faster than a runner was a problem but these people have worked out a solution and successfully tested the technology on bikes running past 140 mph and believe that it would work in the case of speeds above 200 mph too. An accuracy level of 1/100s has been achieved and some minor changes will enable this level to shoot past the mark of 1/10,000 level accuracy.

So get ready to experience the magic of perfect photo finish at your local racing event too. All thanks to RFID.
