Electronic Pylon Race Controller
IF YOU have been involved in Pylon Racing, you have become aware of the need for positive control of "what is happening." When such control is present, the races run smoothly, problems are eliminated and the time required to run each heat drops drastically. What we will attempt to describe seems to be a first effort to successfully operate a Pylon Race with a rudimentary form of computer. (Some of the large auto races are completely controlled by a computer these days.) While this electronic system does not do that much, it is a step in that direction which could be expanded.
