Homemade Starting Gate... Help

[~JBD RACING~]

I know a while back someone had posted some info & pictures how to build a homemade starting gate. If anyone has any info how please let me know... I don't wanna speed $200 when I can build it and so the same thing for $25-30.
Thanks

It was 5js Racing. I believe he sent me a PM on it. I'll see if I still have it.

I made my own start gate. Conceptually I followed the Best Track design. I think mine differed in that it started the timer on the close of the snap switch (where I believe the Best Track gate starts on the open). I think I built it under pressure of a deadline in something like 30 minutes. One hinge, aluminum 90 degree angle stock, a spring, a snap switch, a stainless steel bolt with nut and construction adhesive (I think I used "Beats Nails"). Tool wise, I used a drill and a hack saw. Oh yeah. I forgot...duct tape!

Let me know if you need more detail. Warning: If you thought my car was ghetto...wait till you see my gate!
