lap timers
Hi all,
I want to buy a lap timer for my formula ford and wondered which is the cheapest and best to buy ? I've looked through demon tweeks and it seems as though the cheapest is £200.00. Ideally though I wouldn't mind a second hand one, can anyone recommend anywhere for second hand parts Thanks Tiptop

TipTop,
Take a look at AIM (http://www.aim-sportline.com/AUTO/lighttg.htm) They used to do good neat packages around the 150 mark. Pretty good especially on larger circuits. Rgds JC |

The Kartronix timer.
About £80 from the back of Autosprout (or go for a Demon Tweeks special FF1600 price). Works off the circuit PI beacon too. Have you asked this before? Last edited by JohnMiller; 15 Dec 2004 at 17:31. |

Most do - certainly the ones I've had. The Farringdon one should but I could never get it to pick it up at Mallory on Channel 0 so gave up and used the beacon with its handy 'In' feature which lead to some amusing moments when the engineer accidentally switched to that channel and then wondered why I came in!. After we'd sussed that he would occasionally switch to it and wonder with his buddies on the pit wall how many laps it would be before I noticed it on the dash...

I've got an astratech data logger on my kart and I'm about to start "long circuit" racing. Now how do I go about using the circuit beacon in conjunction with it?
