On my TS (AXE 1 19-19.5") I run 13-15 degrees and shaved clear/clear front. Probably 5 deg negative and green/black on the rear truck. 10-13 deg and perhaps change to unshaved clear in the front when it's less TS.

Daniel, who sells the Trakmate also sell IR boxes. In my opinion the downside of needing a powersource at the start and finish outweighs the upside that the durabillity gives.

Hans Göthberg 3.95 sec
Olle Keppel 4.23 sec
Per Gustavsson 4.38 sec

Hans Göthberg made a very fast run when the timer was not ready, and will probably improve on next qualification. I improved my time to 3.71.
