I have finaly had some time to post all my track photes from start to finish, along with some other misc projects on my web site. Nothing fancy just a place to hold my pictures and other stuff. Enjoy!
Thanks for all the complements guys! My wife will tell you I spent a great deal of time building it. I had as much fun making it as I do racing on it. Me and a couple of my friends race on it at least once a week, sometimes twice a week. I found a few flaws with it but I am remedying those now. Thanks again!

Great site and awesome track!!! You must have one understanding wife. Must get her to talk to mine, because she still doesn't get it! Still working on her though.

ScottMcLeod, I am preparing some more information and pictures on my lap counter. It is a very simple design. Here is the link to where I got my basic design. But instead of using IR LED's I used the laser pointers. I power the laser pointers right off the 5+ on the joystick connector. However I use some 1K pull-up resistors to lower the current draw from the lasers but still supply 5+ to them. I can power up to 8 lasers (or more) using this design. If you have any questions please let me know.
