Chris, The new Trakmate systems will have an option for a tone start, very similar to the FCR tones. On this new version, if a racer crosses the start tapeswitch before the final "go" tone, he will be DQ'd and penalized accordingly. It will be designed to work with a standard boom-box or any kind of...
