The Derby Magic Electronic Timer is an
advanced and accurate system.  Each lane is
equipped with an infrared illuminator and sensor.  
As the car passes the sensor and breaks the
beam, the time of that car's race is recorded.  
The finish place in that heat is also recorded and
displayed above the lane on a super bright 2.25"
LED.

After all of the cars in a heat have finished, the
times and place finish are sent to your computer
via a DB-9 RS-232 serial link.

The Derby Magic timer works with most   
commercially available race management
programs.  It has been thoroughly tested with
  Grand Prix Race Manager. Set-up instructions

Because it's designed as an
integral part of the Derby Magic
track, all of the controls for the track
and timer are conveniently located
at the starting end of the track.  The
power plug, computer interface
port, and reset switch are all right at
your fingertips.
All Derby Magic tracks come with our exclusive
wiring conduit.  The conduit runs the full length of
the track and provides a safe, convenient location
for the timer wiring.  .
The timer comes complete with the finish line, start gate switch, control box, and AC power supply.  The
cable connecting the control box to the finish line is also included.  The cable length is appropriate for
each length of track.

If you want a timer without a numeric LED finish display, we recommend the
The Judge from "New
Directions".  Let us know if that is timer you want, and we will prepare the track for it.
