Home Theater and Automation gadgets are my passion… but I’m also a hobbiest. I’ve built a few model airplanes and own a couple nitro powered RC cars. GeekFreaks.com has a DIY Laser Lap Counter that will cost you less than $400 (in parts). A bit pricy, but it’s very cool and you can learn a lot about IRDA and the ZiLOG dev boards. If I were doing this, I’d ditch the lasers and use RF transmitters to capture data… it would also be cool to add GPS to the cars so you can track speed and driving skills. I’ll add this project to my ever growing list… ETA: 2 years.

Good question... I think you should email the guys at Geekfreaks.com... I'm still a bit away from building one.
Good luck,
Danny

Dear Friend
My name is Evandro, and i am from Brasil. I am interested in your lap conter sistem. I and my friends have 8 R/C cars (kyosho FW 06). We want to know the price of your Lap conter sistem. We need a sistem to 10 cars, and we want to know the custs of all the sistem, with a width of 4 m at the finis line. I want to know if your sistem is already with the cars sensor...
Thanks for the moment...
Wait for your answer

how are the rf transmitters used to capture data?
