BMX Timing

You can find the riders in the selection box in the center of the timing screen and drag them into the start or finish queue. We have done this with non-numeric bibs before.

Finnaly,

this is what we do... they are only once on the track... It is not like Road Racing ITT....

Nice work today, tomorrow it is the same...

What were you using for your start... I don't know their start system, so I am not able to get pulse from the start device (riders ready... watch the gate... bip bip bip...boom gate falls..) I put a photo-cell foot after the start gate

It sounds like the Cartessa gate controller that we use here, running the NBL cadence. If it is a Cartessa, you can get your impulse directry from the gate controller. The DIN socket on the front of the gate controller can feed a relay that will give you your start impulse. There is a post describing the correct wiring and building of the relay.

We have been using the relay that I built for several seasons without any failures.

If it is not a cartessa controller then there still is the possibility for an electronic solution but you would have to cook it up from the power to the valve for the main piston.
