If you are looking for top of the line " Starting gates and finish lines" take a look here

Here is my Judge, no guessing with this thing. If ordered with the E.T. option it reads out to 0.00000. I have only had 3 dead tie finishes in about 3 years.I should have gotten the E.T. read out for both lanes, the winning lane gets the time, but I tried saving some $. Mine is also equipt with the AC power adapter and better sensors cuz I use it indoor and out.

I also made the cover for the Judge to shade it from the sun, even with the better sensors it needed a pit of help.
Hope this helps and Welcome Aboard! PS...I also talked to this fine fellow on the phone and he made it to conform with my track, custom if you will. No extra charge, Great Guy.

Hey Nightstalker9, have you had any problems with bugs on your track when using it outside. I had a 100 foot run down my driveway and had a problem with large black ants. Cars would hit them and smash them, but the aunts were big enough they would cause the cars to leave the track after the hit and run. I had to scrap that idea because my cars were taking a beating.

This is the one that we use for our league races.

Any way you go, you will be spending a lot of $$ on these.

Well i have been looking into a lot of these today.I just found this one http://www.etekgadget.com/ .I emailed them to see if they will make it for 1/64 I love the display on this i think it would be a nice touch.The kids would love it for the Numbered finish and the adults (Including myself) Will love it for the ET's.

I'm pretty happy with my Judge, I shoulda went for the ET option on both lanes though. Still I get the fastest time for each run.
