Why Accutime?

For more than 20 years, Accutime has provided drag race timing systems with quality and reliability. We personally install the systems and provide exceptional knowledge to support you. We understand racing, electronics, hardware and software. I personally designed Accutime with a systems approach – all the pieces fit together to execute races seamlessly and reliably.

We provide you with a fully installed and tested timing system:  1/8 mile 1/4 mile, or 1000 ft – data communications, tree, computers with software, timer box, photocells and brackets, starting line, dial-in boards, tower printers, ET slip printers, monitors, power supplies, starter cable switch, LED scoreboards, dial-in boards and more.

We don’t sell you what you don’t need. Accutime is modern system that has withstood the test of time. Our best advertisement is the continued accumulation of Accutime tracks over the years.

Accutime Precision

The Accutime II Timing System has four decimal place (0.0001) readout on all times (win margin, R.T., and E.T.). Accutime has its own operating system, calibrated to a time standard and synchronized across the system. We have high-performance parallel processing of all critical track information for superior accuracy and system flexibility, as well as built-in noise suppression for trouble-free system operation (costly fiber optics not necessary). Bracket racers tell us again and again that, with Accutime, they are able to consistently hit the tree and their dial-ins, better and tighter than with any other system.

Accutime Software & Reports

Accutime has a familiar Windows® based interface with pull down menus and status boxes to run the races and create reports. You can store all your race data on your hard drive for years – no cleaners necessary. Every race measurement is recorded. The system is easy to upgrade. Computers and printers are modern and replaceable. The status of each photocell sensor is shown on the main race screen. Connections can be easily checked on the screens. Troubleshooting is made easy.

One of the strongest features of Accutime is its report generation. Using a real database, numerous reports are available – Runs made, Daily Winners, Round Winners, Points Standing, Best Package, Ladders, Qualified Cars, Class Winners and more. Winners and losers are sorted into respective columns for easy viewing. Time slips are integrated into report searches for ease of use. Corrections to the database can be made on the fly and are automatically corrected in all reports. ET Printer out of paper? Reprint past time slips in 2 clicks.

The custom announcer program allows the track to enter car and driver information and display this info for the announcer, for the current run and the past run. Time slips show race settings, times, MPH, and allow messaging. The Help Menu includes instructions on using the software.

Accutime Scoreboard

Accutime LED Scoreboards are built for Drag Racing – Reliable, Ultra-bright, Visible, Affordable. Panels come in 1/4 mile and 1/8 Mile Options. The 1/8 Mile board has 30” tall digits in a 10’ wide frame. The 1/4 Mile Board has 36” tall digits in a 15’ wide frame. We can also retrofit many of your old scoreboards with new panels. Parts are repairable, replaceable, and designed for the track to maintain. Brightness control included. Why pay for more than you need.

Accutime Hardware

Accutime Timing Systems use a state of the art timer box, designed for longevity and ability to grow with new technology. We use high quality wiring, connectors, brackets, photocells, and tree construction.

I am the founder and designer and a successful racer. I entered the timing business by request – as the racers were waiting on timing system issues, the tracks requested my help with their existing systems and asked me to design a better timing system. I applied my electrical engineering training along with 24 years’ experience designing and building robotics for NASA and the DoD to create the brand new design and construction of the Accutime system. I have designed and constructed robotics for extreme environmental conditions with difficult access, and truly understand the interaction of the environment with electronics & materials, as well as synchronization, reliability, ease of use and getting it right the first time.

Accutime Support & Training

We provide new systems, tune-ups, repairs, and software upgrades. With phone support, our team is available to help you maintain your system, troubleshoot any issues with you, and keep your track running. We don’t try to up-sell you. We want you to understand your timing system, how it works, how to set it up, how to use it and how to maintain it.

We can provide additional training – new operators? New to Accutime? Need a refresher? Give us a call to schedule training. We have a state of the art simulator for training. In a couple hours, you can set up and run a day’s race in your tower.
