RealTracks Home Timing System

I am close to releasing a few prototype single car systems to several experienced RC enthusiest for test and evaluation. It is a single car Laptop or PC USB break-beam system. It is designed for the average home user not needing a multi-car system. It has many features for storing driver info, car set-up, and courses with times to have a historical record of car set-up and performance. You can race race against your best times or any times you input and get voice feedback on your position and lap times for a virtual race or a real testing session. I am still working on the online portion that allows you to set-up your own online races for others to join, as well as a dedicated server that is always up. It is obviously compatible with any rc car, Mini Z's as well. It works out of the box on Flat Track and will only require a hole in 2 sections of RCP guard rail to function. I gave my RCP away a few years ago when I thought I was out of the hobby permanently, so I have to get some more to test out the best method for moding the guardrail. Here are a few videos showing some screens. You can turn off the voice notifications such as "That's a new lap record" that you can hear in one of the videos. I am trying to keep the street price around $50.00 USD. I just finished a large project with my business so I am hoping to be able to dedicate a significant amount of time to this over the next few weeks. Your input and suggestions for features to be included is welcome since the software is not finalized at this time.
