I am currently using a Derbymagic timer that I transferred to a single lane aluminum test track.
It does a great job, giving me times up to 1/1000 of a second.
Two problems:
1 - The start gate gives a jolt and affects the car's time. My "Ruberg" solution is to hold a soft sponge under the pin's slot. It works, but is a pain in the A**.
2 - The timer operates off three AAA batteries. If I don't turn off the timer (another pain in the A**) the batteries run out in about an hour or so. Thus in the past year I have spent over $100 on just batteries.
MY QUESTION:
1 = Who makes the best single lane timer that operates by plugging into a normal household electrical socket?
2 = Who makes a single lane start gate that is quiet and soft with no jolts?
I would appreciate any helpful advice.
