There needs to be wording added to the lap counting section (page 35) allowing/encouraging the use of an electronic counting system.  It may be easy/simple to hand count a race with only a handfull of cars, but it is a near imposability to count a 50 car race on a half mile track with any form of hand count.  The system we are using actually broke a tie between two cars in two separate heats that had less than one second between them.  This would have been a total imposability with any form of hand count.  Add into that the horendous errors we used to have from hand counts and it seems silly that electronic counting is not even recognized, let alone encourged.

I think Electronic Lap counting is the way to go. The new lap counting system that I am designing and testing for the Kansas cars will be easy to set up and run and will be very resonable in price. In the test I have run so far it has never missed a lap. I hope to offer it to other states mid summer if testing goes as planed this spring.
