Damn you Tim, you got me working on yet another project AAHHHHHH.

i have a friend of my brothers on the case too. he is an electrical engineer and has a few good ideas.
start and finish seems to be easy from what i am seeing around, getting a tree and foul lights involved seems to be the hardest part.
i was thinking about jsut looking into one of teh many speed trap set ups that are available for rc cars to do the traps. they are pretty cheap, just need one for each lane.
later
