Guests are allowed, but they have to pay a gate fee at check in. I believe it is $5-$10 for a guest.

Is anybody interested in a traqmate demonstration? We could huddle around the laptop and I can show some techniques for finding some speed. If anybody wants to run the unit for a session, let me know as mine is easy to swap between cars. Could get a baseline run, do some analysis, then a follow-up session to see if you improved where we found opportunities in the data. Fun stuff.
