That looks like the best option yet. Not sure if mounting hole positions will line up with the bracket, but that is a minor issue.

Seems there is topic iv seen on DT About the race master iv timer switch! Best I can recall about the switch replacement A highly well micro switch VT 16031C2 Or one from Allied.. D413-V3LD SPDT; NO/NC; straight lever actuator; Gold contacts 100ma; 250vac. It looks like you are referring to this th...

MicroWizard Timers has an RS Remote Start Switch and 50' of cable for $15.00. My switch closely resembles the one shown by Vitamin K. They state if you are ordering this switch for a previously purchased timer give them a call and tell them exactly what you have. You will need to have MicroWizard b...

If the problem is a bad switch, then this part may be a suitable replacement, Omron D2MC01H. Though, it may be obsolete too.

@Anmarie - When you move the whisker, do you hear a click?

Check the wires connected to the switch and make sure that they are firmly connected.

Check also wires going into the back end of the plug on the end of that cable. See if you have a loose or broken wire there.

This looks to be the correct part, Cherry E53-00R, but it looks to be obsolete. Not sure what a suitable replacement would be.

Can it be colored or just tinted?

I've seen it both ways.

If you do the whole track a solid color, I'd go for a color that hides graphite better.

Is yours is un-anodized track? If so, you do have the option of colored anodizing. Powder coating may provide too thick of a coating that may give you issues reassembling the track.

I think the Awana colors work just fine, even for non-Awana events, as they are just basic colors.

You can find the photos of the SubaDerby finalists on our company Facebook page . You can see all 3 of these cars in the middle row of the finalist's table photos. The cars are staged in car# order. Two of them are clearly labeled with the dealer name. The third is as well, but it is partially cover...

Moved to the appropriate forum.

Why can't you make it easy and have an attachment button below this window so you can upload pics straight from your phone?

Well, that would mean that we would have to host the images on our web server. Images take up a lot of storage space and space costs money (as a recurring monthly charge).
