I am in need of a track timer. Any advice or anybody have a used one they are looking to sell. don't know where to find a used one.. There are places where you can buy the components to build them yourself, or just buy a pre-made unit. I bought a DT-1000 Newbold single lane timer that works well. www.pinewood-derby-timer.com/page/page.cfm/winningdesigns

I have done a lot of lloking around, and although both are a good bit of money, the quality and support and second to none. Track: www.besttrack.comThey are also offering a one lane test track consisting of a start gate, curve, 2 7 ft. flat sections and a half length stop section. Might be good to get you started for less than a full sized track Timer: www.microwizard.comI have had to email both companies concerning various issues, and can honestly say that both stand firmly behind their products. Good luck!

The Micro-Wizard K1 "son of a cheap kit" is nice for the budget minded. It is $25 un-assembled, even reasonable when purchased assembled at $40. I am thinking of the $65 pre-assembled board with serial interface and all of the data options.
I have been toying with the idea of fitting one of these to a single lane and using it for "split timing" for the various sections of the track. Has anyone used one of these to get partial times from a single lane on their test track? I was thinking 3", bottom of curve, half way on flat, and finish. Some how relating these to start speed, acceleration and roll-out.
PS. unashamed supporter and owner of 2 Micro-Wizard K2 - 6 lane timers with over 10 years experience with their products.
