Simple Lap Timer

Hi,
hope this is the correct section to post this in.
I'm looking to buy or build a simple, single car, single lap timer that goes out to 1/100th second. Ideally, it would be a break beam system of sorts, a moving car trips the clock, and stops it when it completes the lap.

I've been all over the web trying to find something similar but no real luck so far.

Hello, your post was brought to our attention via one of the good folks at HT.
We offer a system call a Slot Car Dragon for under $100 online. It has a singles mode, is accurate to 1/1000th second, and has an option of magnetic reed sensors or photo eyes.
However it only times the entire race and not individual laps. It does give reaction times. Mite be worth looking at.
Thank you
Daniel
