More from Fred Schoch: This years Head Of The Charles entries, when Registering for their bibs & bow numbers, will recieve a 'RacePod' timing system antenna. Each RacePod device is to be placed in the competitors boats during racing - providing a 7 satellite GPS locator system to gauge to within less than an inch the location of the competitor on the race course. Gone are the days of hand-held stopwatches and video tape timing systems. The RacePod display provides the competitor with a read-out displaying their Start Window appointment time to begin racing - this advancement changes the the Start Line activity significantly, putting the responsibility of the Start of Race on the competitor and removing it from outdated officials in Blue Blazers.
(Ed Note: Seems pretty believable to me, actually.)
