Wow, this brings back a memory. I remember when we first started using
electronic timing (nixie tube display!!) way back when and we didn't really
trust it, so there was "backup timing" outside the motorhome which
copnsisted of 3 or 4 people with stop watches and clip boards. If the
stopwatch time and the announced time didn't agree within + or - some
amount, the car got a re-run.
