Have just completed my Chronocone hardware interface, based on a Logitech Gamepad, and now have a twin lane race timer for less than $100.

Chronocone offers laptop based twin lane timing, that dumps results straight into a spreadsheet, so race organisers can throw away the pencils! Chronocone can do everthing that the latest trackate can, such as start tones, and common start timing for head to head, calculate cone penalties, early start penalties, and DQ's based on cones or early starts.

Props to Pat Chewning for developing it in the first place, and for sending the source code to me so that I can make run on our hardware.

Here is a link to a spreadsheet to use with Chronocone, for double elimination races.
