Dual Slalom / pumptrack timing system?

[spikenet]

Hey gang,

Doing some research into Dual Slalom / pumptrack timing systems for the club. Does anyone have experience with them, what works etc. Something like what they use at crankworx with dual lane and a time display.

Anyone with expertise in raspberry Pi (or other device such as arduino) programming that might be able to help build something?

Cheers
Paul.

Where are you located? I help run the Slalom Skateboarding nationals and we use a Trackmate timer which would be perfect for dual slalom, but a mate in Melbs has made a home brew version that is wireless.

Freelap used to be pretty popular back in the day. They still make a whole variety of timing systems that may be worth looking into

I'd be keen to have any info/instructions on home brew system!

We are up near Sydney so not that close to you.
