Timing System?
I will be setting up a 1/4 mile IMPBA course on my pond. I would like to install a timing system to check lap times. It does not need to be SAW legal and only needs to work for one boat at a time. Does anyone have any suggestions? Obviously I want to keep the cost down.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Try Tower hobbies. Look up robitronic. They offer a complete system for what look's like a pretty good price.

RE: Timing System?
Yup, the car systems typically only allow 20 - 50 foot lane widths. I would need 100 feet. Not sure I like the idea of needing a transponder either. I was hoping to find a system that uses lights to trip the clock, or infrared sensors. If I could find out which lights to use I could have them start and stop a stopwatch.
