Track Mounting Methods

It is IMPORTANT to get the correct mounting method for your track.
Specify which type of mount you need when ordering.
If you have a custom track, send us an email including the measurements of your track and the name of the purchaser.
Contact us if you are unsure about your track.

Measurement Example for wooden tracks -
Measurement from start looking toward finish.
It is important to work with the timer ahead of time so you are familiar it. This is especially true if you are using a race management program. Please send us your Race Date in an email if it is approaching.

Mounting options: We can mount to almost any track.

  1. BestTrack® track.
    Click to see the BestTrack® Installation image.
  2. Custom type tracks.
    A custom track needs to holes in the track for the sensors and if it doesn't you need to drill 1/4" holes. We determine how the sensors should be mounted under your track depending on the style of track you have.
    There are a couple different methods of mounting your timer and sensors to the track for best performance.
    The first option for mounting is to have the sensors above the mounting bar. The second option for mounting is to have the sensors under the mounting bar. Send us a picture of the profile of your track so we can determine which mount is best for you.
  3. Piantedosi/Microwizard Freedom aluminum track.
  4. Piantedosi Classic wooden track.
