Timers And Packages That Meet All Your Pinewood Derby Challenges!
We offer three types of timers.
Our full-scale product is the TURBO Timer, for 1 to 8 lanes. The TURBO Pinewood derby timer has some great features including: 3 inch numeric displays over each lane, upgradable to double-sided viewing, optional built-in USB interface, provides all times by computer interface AND the built-in display, is easily upgradable to up to 8 lanes and has a 6 year warranty. These features are not found on other products on the market.
Our second type of timer is the Turbo Lite - a lower priced alternative to the full Turbo timing system that has the same timing capabilities without the over-track display.The finish order and all times are available from the Timer Module or connect the unit to a PC to automate your race.Use your PC with an LCD projector to really wow the audience.The timer comes standard with a serial port interface and supports our optional built-in USB interface.This timer uses our standard start switch and 1/4” stop sensors.The only thing needed to complete the system is a regular incandescent light source at the finish line (one 60W lamp for every 2-3 lanes).
Our legacy product is called the Original Timers: The DT8000 (1 to 8 lanes), DT2000 (1 or 2 lanes) and the DT1000 (1 lane). These timers were phased out at the end of 2009 and did not have the bridge at the finish line, but were less expensive and offered the same accurate timing and finish order information. Check out the following chart to find the timer or finish line that suits your needs best!
Note: All of our timers can all be upgraded to more lanes in the future (up to 8 lanes). The upgrade is easy and cost effective.
How do I know which timer to buy or upgrade to? You should look at three key points: number of lanes you need now, number of lanes you may need in the future, and the cost of the timer/finish line you are considering.
A key feature of our products is that you are not stuck with your original choice in lane size if you choose to get a bigger track later on.
