Race Timing Solutions to Turbo Charge Your Pinewood Derby! Since 1996
We build, sell, and support Three Unique Pinewood Derby Timers
The TURBO is built for 1 to 8 lanes and is modular, so you can expand in the future without buying a whole new setup. The TURBO Pinewood derby timer is really different than what our competition offers:
Huge 3 inch numeric displays over each lane, and user upgradable to double-sided viewing. We are the only company with 3 inch displays.
Optional built-in USB interface. The only timer on the market with built-in USB.
Easily upgradable by the customer up to 8 lanes
Converts from wood to Aluminum track without buying a new system
6 year parts & labor warranty - the longest anyone offers!

At most of the races we have attended, if the race results are projected to a screen - that is what the audience watches. Money spent on a track mounted display is largely wasted for groups using a projector.
Requires a light source at the finish line to illuminate the stop sensors. Our LightBridge product is perfect for this. You can also use a regular incandescent bulb (Soft White, 60W) with one bulb for every 3-4 lanes.
The Turbo Lite is a lower priced alternative to the full TURBO timing system that has the same timing capabilities without the over-track display.
Finish order and all times are available from the Timer Module itself or through the PC interface
Use your PC with an LCD projector to really wow the audience.
Comes standard with a 9-pin serial port interface
Optional built-in USB interface.
You do not have to provide the measurements of your track for this timer.
Turbo Lite is user-upgradeable into the full Turbo product
Requires a light source at the finish line to illuminate the stop sensors. Our LightBridge product is perfect for this. You can also use a regular incandescent bulb (Soft White, 60W) with one bulb for every 3-4 lanes.
