Those were some Unlimiteds I was testing for next months race. They were running at 20 volts for 15.5'. Should be a tough class
with several fast racers entering. I have 5 of them that can hit 60 mph with a one time 70 mph run by one of them.

This was the track record run made by the red 57 Chevy. It set both ET and MPH records on that run still running at 20 volts. It has lost about 8 MPH and .02 since then but it is still strong and I have given it no attention since.  71 MPH .2289 run |

I’m currently upgrading my strip and noticed Drag RC will do this via the Arduino and a 2-channel relay board. That’s my plan  That's how I understand it and will be my plan also.  Hope you will be able to document your progress. No success yet. My approach was to have the green light signal, trigger the relay for the power to that lane. It does do that but the green light is only on for a 1/8 second or so and when it goes off, the power goes off. Am in the process of investigating using a latching relay that will keep the power on and is easily resettable once that race is over. I don't particularly want to re-write any of the software code which might be possible, just don't want to spend my time learning how to . Not going to totally abandon the idea but it has certainly moved a little further down the to do list  . If anyone comes up with any ideas, I'm all ears.

Using the computer to start and run the races would be nice, especially for filming a run. I plan on doing some slo mo for finals at my event but I will just use a long wire attached to a start button so I can film at the finish line.
