Yes, I'll agree on that as ElPrado has mentioned. However, we have to keep in mind that timing is not always done from poles. They have "run-ups" and differing ways of timing races. They move those devices at times. Craig Milkowski is a big critic of the deviations of them.
Not sure the electric eye is near that pole, but it probably is.
That does not account for the hoop. It explains the pole. Which is fine. Not the hoop.
I reached out to Gary Young who has been around there for a very long time and he told me he doesn't know (but always wondered) and doesn't know anybody who knows.
Maybe we'll get an answer, maybe not.
