SuperTimer II for the Soap Box Derby - Introduction
The Soap
Box SuperTimer II WITHOUT the Race Manager Option times and announces each
run in Soap Box Derby Racing. It operates completely without a computer
and uses a single button to control the four
timer states.
Accessories including the Lane Sensors and Emitters
as well as the necessary cables are provided with the basic SuperTimer
II. Our custom designed sensors are extremely accurate, very easy to align, have a range greater than 50 feet and fold flat or disassemble for easy storage.
When operating without the RaceManager Option, the announcement includes
the winning lane and time differential to 0.1 milliseconds (00.0000 Seconds).
The announcement will continue to repeat
until the control button is pressed. If the button is pressed during an
announcement, the announcement will continue until the end and then stop.
Speakers, a 3 Watt amplifier and an output to your public address system
are also provided.
SuperTimer II also controls winning lane lights. It comes with a lane
light driver for lights up to 500 Watts per lane (you provide the lights)
and uses those lights to indicate a ‘red light’ condition on the course
when SuperTimer II is not armed. An option switch allows you to set those
lights to blinking (for 'spot' type lights) or steady (for rotating beacons.)
At the simple level, a Soap Box Derby Race is just a run down a hill by two cars. SuperTimer II will give you fast and accurate results for that simple run. But the actual running of a complete race is much more involved than that. Our RaceManager Software has been especially designed to make that process easy, fun and mistake free.
