Electric Start/Finish gates
I am looking to get my practice/drag track going and want to be able to see if I am making any speed strides. All I can find available is the Playrobotics one.
Does anyone know where other are available? I have looked at Slanman and even JHL Kraft but none seem available for sale.
Also, does anyone have a working old one or the likes that they would be willing to sell?
Thx everyone for your help/or suggestions...

I have a Slanman customs setup and think it works great. No programming required.

FWIW, here's a running list of systems and finish lines. It should be relatively current but I'm sure there are many out there in general.

Reach out to Slamman through Facebook its probably the best way to get a hold of him. His Etsy store is never up to date.
I can recommend Spoolheads. Love mine.
I have no experience with Slanman or Playrobotics, but they look good on videos I've seen.
I do not recommend JLH Krafts. Mine had a very short lifespan. Design flaws.

You can also try Russell at Spoolheads. Or you can make your own with an arduino, a servo, a screen and some switches. It's relatively easy but just seems overwhelming to start with.
