Timing Bridge completed

[Daryl Payne]

The paint stir sticks and 2x4 blocks are gone, the Targa now has a bridge/timing light system somewhat similiar to the protoype .

And, it seems to actually work

Looking good. Is the timing system something you scratch built or removed from another timing system?

[Doug Logston]

Well done, Daryl. Lookin' good.

Tim,, the timing electronics are from TrakMate, I bought the kit for the lights,, just the led infrared diodes, circuit board and a few resisters to solder together,, cost , humm under 15$ . I just built the bridge out of PlayStruct styrene "open trusses" and left enough room for the circuit board to rest in it. It is similiar to a bridge I have in a picture of an early Targa Florio,, circa 1964. The lights were previously between 2 paint stirring sticks, and a couple small pieces of 2x4 pine.

Looks great, Maybe I can use your plans and idea to build on for my track. Then I could remove the light in the sky and not worry about anyone false tripping the timing.
