Start Place (Solenoid option only): (1) Select Front when the front of the cars are 
aligned at the start position, or, (2) Rear if the rear of the cars are aligned at the start 
position.

Lanes: Specify if only one or both lanes are in use. 

 

Sensor Distance: this can be modified with the given slider if required, adjusting the sensor 
sensitivity. 

 

Track Length: set feet or metre units is required, along with the actual race track length, in 
order to display the vehicle speed in MPH or KM/H. 

Notes: 

1.

 

With the solenoid starting option selected then automatic operation can be enabled. The 
race will automatically start when starting lights turn green and the trigger switches will be 
ignored (i.e. manual mode). In this case the left lights at the top of the lane stack remain 
green; otherwise the lights are amber and go green when the associated switch is pressed.
