Default Simple Lap Timer How About This?

I'd like to get a simple lap timer for my DE's.

Anyone know about this?

that's one of the best simple timers.

also google "ultra lap", that uses the same transmitter as AIM. but can show best, avg, worst lap time of the session and a bunch of other function. i use ultra lap. i dont know if AIM you showed have similar functions.

DO NOT get "hot lap timers". just as $$$ far less function is it is BIG, even the small version is BIG.

This is by far the best, particularly if you want accurate predictive lap timing. It is far more accurate than even the AIM system.

The base product works with an AIM beacon. The latest one uses GPS.

The wheel speed sensor is too much trouble to install and run on my car which is a stock street car. I'd rather just use some sort of beacon on the pit wall and a timer in my car.

Nice and simple to use. Easy to see. On a street car it may take a little more time finding a good location to mount the IR pickup. On caged cars everyone generally mounts them off the Main hoop.

The only thing you need to remember is to pickup the beacon at the end of the day.

I've got a couple on the shelf right now.
