I have a messy, but fully-functioning drag strip 
Lots of cabling to tidy up, sensor bridges to complete, relay box to build and a week's worth of finishing touches. It still looks like a construction site, but it works - which was the aim of today.
It was fun to get some timing done with Drag Basic. At 12 volts, Elapsed Times (ETs) are around the 0.700s mark for dug-out-of-the-box Micro Scalextric cars on road course standard Super Tires. I threw in a decent Tomy SRT on high-ish tyres, which did a 0.506s. A little bit too quick for the shutdown - a bang & bounce... A pretty good T-Jet went 0.875s. The top Fueler looked good and managed a 0.809. None of these cars (apart from the T-Jet) have been tuned - they are simply to test the strip. Some representative times will hopefully be set next weekend at the trial run. And then on to the first official event - the sign-up thread is here: https://slotracer.online/community/showt...p?tid=1267
