the circuit is fairly simple to build. the concept is really fun. adds another level of excitement (not for little kids as they would have a hard time ) one problem we find is the gates are not exactly alike. the timers are triggered by a magnetic switch (alarm switches) thus getting the timers to release at the same time as well as the timers (when triggering both lanes together. plan is to add another IR beam to each lane just in front of the gates and having the new beams trigger the timers. The timers are independent of each other. Also add a reaction timer per lane that measures the time from the green light goes on to the time the participant releases their car. If the car is released BEFORE the green a red light comes on for that lane. what wouldbe really fun is to do ET brackets car goes to fast (breakout) they lose.

This is why We named PDDR, Pinewood Derby Drag Racing... This is why The ESS is on the Market... Now we are working on the timers... It is coming...
