Back when I was (even crazier) and racing go-karts... (Very seriously)
In the pre digital era.
I had as many as 3 stop watches mounted on the kart. I used them constantly.
Measuring; Gaps, lap times, times of me vs. Competitors from point to point.
Times from point to point tell great secrets!
NFI in vintage stop watches.
Actually, that's not true.
I collect vintage stop watches.
And sell antiques and cool vintage what-nots to support my family and my racing
addiction.

Seeing a fast time AS you pass a timing strip has more merit. You know
IMMEDIATLY if what you just did worked. Lots of ways to do it... Good thread.

Gee, don't your sanction bodies furnish time sheets after each session?
