New Timing and Scoring system

Thanks to Bill W.,Dean, Evan, Joe, John, Mark, Sam Sr., and Sean for putting up with the new timing system. Deciding to race the Carrera Group 5 Lighted class first proved to be an interest trial run for Race Coordinator. Some very interesting features allowed for some new information to be displayed of the race screen. Sam Sr. was able to arrive in time to race in the Trans Am Stock race, and we were glad to have him for his first slot car race in 4 weeks!!!
