Three were disqualified for an old offense giving their race numbers to nonregls-Jtered runners. Others got the piobk for beginning the race ahead the starting line or starting be-Ljore everyone else. But the ones who were really surprised were those who took shortcuts on the course and were tripped up by the little computer chip they wore on their was the first year the tchjps were used in the marathon, and officials set up a computerized tracking network that recorded participants as they passed 11 spots along the course. When a computer program analyzed each runner's progress and noticed someone getting from start to finish without passing all the 5-kilometer checkpoints, the red flag went up. Mike Ducy of Fort Wayne's End Result company was one of those Recording the runners' progress, and he continues to be Impressed by the bright and dark sides of chip technology.

Having timed this year's 500 Festival Mini-Marathon, he sees the advantages of near-flawless scoring and the potential for growth. He first used the comput-' er chip system In last fall's Indianapolis Marathon, did three other small races after that and looks forward to doing at least 17 this year and more in 1999. "At the same time, he knows how easy It would be to pack a "bunch of chips on a fast runner Cand fraudulently win age-group awards for people who never ran. "We'll have to work on that," he admits. 1 Good uses continue to outpace the bad, though.

Before the Mini-Marathon, he Jtajked about developments that qoujd make it possible to record runners' numbers as they passed a timing mat and instantly display their names and times or even thqlr, pictures for everyone to ee. Now he's enthusiastic about a German program that links chip signals with video. Key in a number, and a video image of that person finishing comes on a Screen. After the race, you could watch yourself finishing. Or, if there was a color printer there, you could call up four to six different views, depending on how many cameras were' used, select the one you wanted, go to the end of the table and instantly have a color photo to take home.

Ducy also just used the chip to time his first In-line skating race and marvels at how easy it is to separate every person In a group when all speed across the finish line, at what appears to be the same time. 'Coming soon: special antennas for bikes, jet skis and ice skaters. And probably, someone again will figure out a way to beat the system for a while. i Looking ahead Great Lease Values '97 Ford Escort 1 83 D0966 '97 Mercury Tracer $185 oom '9b Nissan Sentra $193 D0979 '96 Ford Contour $200 DO820 '96 Toyota Paseo $210 oosse '97 Honda Gvic $238 D1033 '96 Honda Accord $239 D0970 '96 Mercury Villager $248 D0879 '97 Dodge Caravan $267 oom '96 Ford Windstar $277 D0843 All 48 month leases, with no money down, 1 st payment, Security Deposit Sales Tax, with approved credit.
