ASRA Admin Comment by Scotty Taylor on March 7, 2014 at 20:00: We've got all the setup and cable for the Trakmate done, so we'll probably just use the Tag on Sunday because we probably can't set up cables this late in the game :) We tested the trakmate today and it's all go. We'll be there from 8:30 tomorrow morning, we'll aim to start praccy by 10.
