Not only do you get the lights and countdown, but they will time you, and tell you your time and mph. I have seen some rather sad-looking VW's taking off beside the super-racers. Kinda funny, especially as a late model bus once won 2 rounds or so! So, y'all all come to NC for the next farmington meet! Richard
