How it works: Computerized timing system by TSI with infrareds at the starting line and photocells at the finish line - 660 feet or 1/8th mile. You get ET (elapsed time) and MPH (mile per hour) printouts on each pass. Computer automatically starts you when cars in both lanes are pre-staged and then staged. “Once the yellow lights start coming down – you get ready to GO.” All race participants must go through tech and wear applicable safety equipment.
