Hey Marc.  I've had a chance to run several group races with SmartRace 7 using the minimum pit stop time feature. During a race when you enter the pits the timer appears (on the race screen) that starts counting down so that you know when you can leave the pits.  There's also a Red box (above the timer) that is blinking and when the time expires and it's safe to leave the pits the Red box turns Green. Any chance we can have an option to turn off the blinking?  (or just get rid of the blinking) I'd like to tell my racers, just look at the box and if it's green you can leave the pits.  But if you look up just as it blinks off you have to wait a few seconds for it to come back on to know what color it is.  If it was on the whole time (without blinking) you would see the color at a glance and not have to wait for it to blink back on. It's a small detail but it would come in handy.  :-)  Thanks.

Hey Rick, I can see that you deleted this. Has it resolved itself? Cheers, Marc

Well, I spend a lot of time working on the race videos for YouTube and then I watch the videos (a lot) looking for ways to make the racing better and to work out bugs in how we race.  I noticed in the videos that the red and green box is blinking really slowly and it would be better if they were blinking faster or just solid without blinking.  So I wrote to you to suggest that it would be better if the box wasn't blinking.   As soon as I submitted the post I went and did some testing on my track with SmartRace running a race. I realized the blinking is much faster in real life than it is in my videos. The way I'm capturing the race screen for the videos must have a slower FPS and it's only recording about 1/3 of the live action. Which shows the blinking is off for a second or two before it comes back on.  But in real life it's blinking a lot faster which is fast enough and there is no issue with it.  So it cured itself or I just didn't do enough testing before I sent in this suggestion.  Sorry for the false alarm. ;-)  Thanks Marc.
