I seem to be starting a fair share of threads anymore. I think that means I need my internet taken away for a while! 
There is another thread about this that someone recently started but I didnt want to hyjack his thread and change the topic, hopefully the moderators dont mind me asking again. So I was reading Greg's HO website about photocells and lap timers...all that jazz. I read the section on doing dead track sections and cutting out a piece of the rail from underneath to create the trigger for the lap timer. I have a tyco track and the underside rails are completely covered so theres no chance of removing a piece of the rail unless you get crazy which would probably end up breaking the track. Has anyone else with tyco track done the dead track method before?? Im not seeing how its possible. So am I going to have to do the timer with a different method or can tyco stuff be made to work for lap timers? I only have a 2 lane setup so I dont know what the cheapest and easiest way to do this is. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks gents.
