ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling the release of a drag racer which is adapted for use in elapsed time starts as well as standard starts. The race crew inputs the opponent's established elapsed time and their own established elapsed time into the invention, as well as the standard timing-light/reaction-time delay. The device then calculates the handicap by which a faster car will be held and adds that time to the timing-light/reaction-time delay. This permits the driver to begin release timing from his opponent's Christmas tree lights. The driver may use his own Christmas tree if he wishes by setting the ET timers to zero, to equal values, or by setting the opponent's ET lower than his own.
