If the times are incorrect and are adjusted later off the video why bother posting them in the first place?  

At least they've worked out how to not broadcast the drone shot for the first 600m.  Must make it easier for the commentator as well as the Trackside viewer.

The distances can't be correct, because even if hand-timed, the discrepancy is 3-4 seconds in most cases.

How frigging hard is it to get one of those wheelie thingis and measure the distance?  It's not as if the move the rail in the shute.

Correct and he fact they cannot/will not fix this, speaks volumes

I can't fathom any reason why they wouldn't fix the issue both the distance measurement AND the electronic timing if they were serious about being a professional racing organisation.  Unless...

Do they have no funds?

Is there a major redevelopment of the track scheduled? 

Or have they decided to close Trentham down as uneconomic to renovate and move to Awapuni?

Or do false times make the track look better than it is?

All of the above. The ongoing serious problems with tracks and a flat property market will mean plan A, B and C have gone out the window with plan D which was always a dud. They are now consulting Earnestly with Ernie from Muppet inc
