The NHRA uses a timing system called "COMPULINK" , out of Colorado (I think?). If you contact the NHRA (maybe IHRA, too), they can send you helpful tips on ideas (length of track, pit space needed, etc.), or they did 10 years ago. A buddy's wife did her college paper on building a strip, and NHRA sent her 'guidelines'.........

Get ahold of NHRA and IHRA drag racing organizations here in the states for helpful information on all aspects of building a track. They will have the neccesary computer companies which I'm sure can clock in KM for your needs. :cheers: :thumbs:
