To borrow an Xmas tree is "easy" in theory, its the timing/syncho hardware
thats the "bitch" about it.
Ive run the software for years when I ran the HRP tower in Houston, and
gained the credentials to run the system at NHRA national events too..
Im sure we can build a simple system for about a grand if we had to. Just
simple prestage/full-stage, an accurate half second timer and external relay
control, and programming to catch red-light..all via a parellel port.
