Vehicle speed will be measured by running the car through an electronic speed trap (likely to come from Race America), and you can use as much of the speedway as your radio range will allow to get up to speed.



Race America makes timing systems for r/c as well as full size drag racing I believe. It will have two sets of lights that trigger a clock and then your speed is figured.
Later,Randy
