A few years ago when I was co-chair of the Atlanta Solo2 program we ran
MirrorKhana type events with a side by side drag race start. Dave Hardy
developed a tree, red light setup and a computerized handicapping system
that worked really trick.
Dave, you out there?

Couple thoughts... You're aware of "Chrono Mode" on JAC's timer, right?
It will recognize up to four signal trips that get dumped w/ a timestamp
out the serial port. I think newer models have this built in, but older
ones cost $300 to update. That plus a bit of software may be a cheaper
way to go for you. Certainly it'd be cheaper to replicate...
Still don't know how you'd do a redlight though. Maybe manually like
they
do with jumped starts on races?
