Times of races

[Danzig]

i believe in europe they time from the actual start of the race, a 'standing' start...while here they begin timing after the break-a running start.

i know they have some kind of gadget in race cars to score laps. wonder if they couldn't put the same type of thing on a horses bridle....

it's called a transponder. 2 wires underneath the surface, and when the transponder crosses the point where the wires are, that is the signal.
