drivers will race on all lanes and against each other at least once.
- Each
driver has to complete 10 laps (60 laps in total) on all lane in
the fastest time possible.
- The
winner is determined by who has the best mean average time from
all the heats with the worst 2 results dropped from the calculation.
- False
starts are punished with the lane power for the offending driver(s)
being cut off for 5 seconds.
- The
race controller has the power to re-run races and control the power
to all lanes.
- The
hardware that works with the program was created by Richard Daniellian.
- Lap
times are measured by the slot car tripping an infra red sensor
beam and it is measured to 1/100th of a second.
- The
lights, infra red sensors and lane power control hardware is designed
by Richard Danielian.
How the track
might look if it was real. (Special thanks to Marc Abbot of Burnt
