Need electronics for a wood track
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2015 1:55 pm
Hi,
I'm looking for electronics for an existing track - at least a finish timer, and possibly an automatic starter.
Our Awana club just had a wood track donated to them. I believe it used to have Racemaster electronics on it, but the original owner kept them for their new track.
What I remember when we borrowed this track from before is that sometimes the sensors wouldn't trigger when cars would go over. We had battery operated lights above the sensors to make them work better.
We use the Grand Prix software and would like something that integrates very well with that.
What do you recommend? Do you recommend that we stay away from any?
Our race is right after Thanksgiving, so we need to get something ordered soon!
Thanks!
