I have something different, it doesn't display times, but what I found
most useful is something that maps the track for you and will give you
data on each run.  A lap timer gives very little info if you are looking
to improve suspension, engine, your skills.  Having the ability to pick
apart g, mph, acceleration, speed etc is very valuable.  It also looks
like it can be used to display lap times as well.

This can also plug into your camcorder input and display your
performance numbers directly on the tape, very cool.

Also note that most drivers education schools either frown upon or flat
out will not let you run a lap timer, it isn't in the spirit of the
event.

Subject: [s-cars] Lap timer suggestions & recomendations

I'm looking for any general (or specific for that matter) list thoughts,
recommendations or experiences and suggestions re: casual use track /
lap
timers.

Some of the things I think I'm interested in finding in a timer would
be:

-  	Ease of use;

-	Portability;

-	Multiple car, i.e. one, or more transponder(s), if that's the
correct name for them, that could be accessible to more than one vehicle
at
the same time if they were running the same receiver;

-	In car splits read out; 

-	Track segments splits;

-	Not cost an arm & a leg.  I'm not necessarily looking for the
cheapest unit.  Would be more biased towards considering bang for the
buck,
and possible future expandability, if that's even an option.

-	Finally, reliability/durability.

Any thoughts, experiences or recommendations out there?

Thanks
mike
