ZZ timer works great. you can look at all lap times after your race.
Namuna:
Could you take a look at this track and see if an epoch would run on it in your opinion. Thanks.

1st off...VERY nice details and layout. Looks like a lot of fun to race on.
Now, as far as getting Epochs on there...I'd have to say it's considerably too small. Considering the size and speed of the Epoch, I would recommend AT LEAST a lane width of 6-inches (and even then you're probably going to be riding the shoulder a lot) and if you want to actually run full speed in straights you'll need a good 10-feet.
Check out the www.xmodsrc.com site, they have plans to put together tracks for their Xmods...But you could just customize it down a little to compensate for the Epoch.

Nice! I like that. I'm planning on getting a few more barrier kits and the timer myself. I would love to do something like this. How many barrier kits did it take?
Awesome job!

4 kits. my suggestion is to get the super slicks tracks because it has more straights.
Oh, and thanks. I have been in to these for awhile but just now have started playing w/ them again.

To be honest, I have never really raced mine on any kind of track, I have always modded them and run them across the kitchen. It wasn't until I made the Xmod track and find out how much fun it was, I then decide to do the same for my Zips.
