what to use for a lap counting system

before a track could be used for serius racing and not only for practice, there must be a lapcounting system.

We ran a couple of races on Friday night with the Trackmate lap counter. The reporting is very nice, the software automatically saves the races and accumulates the whole days races in one report as a .TXT file.
Thanks again, Dan
Here is a sample output.

Hi All.

Does any of your laptimers support refueling on Magracing ?

If so, how does it work ?

If not - any wishes for how it should work ?

I'm thinking on using one sensor entering Pit-lane and a second one at exit.
Then calculating time used in between.
Of course some logic to truncate if on miss either entrance or exit.

My talks with the guy at RaceCoordinator is in progress and the use of refueling is asked for.
Racing Regards

Kim K.
