The XL Pro offers dual micro processor technologies, accurate to 0.001, follows NHRA rules/guidelines for timing equipment and offers full control by the tower officials using RaceAmerica’s proprietary software XLscore PRO.

XLscore PRO is run using an easy to follow interface on a windows based computer running a variety of operating systems. (Computer provided by track)

This system has everything a pro level organization needs including all ET times needed throughout the track. See Features and Track Diagrams for more details.

Pricing varies based on what features already exist on the customer's current equipment and timing system. A great way to reinvest in your timing system and add more features.

Provide 110VAC or 230VAC for the tree, a PC with a Pentium or higher processor and a minimum 64Mb of memory The IR Beam Emitters use four AA size and D size batteries, alkaline or Ni-Cad, or optional AC powered emitters are also available.

What do I need to do to print timeslips? Model 2900P includes the capability to print dual lane timeslips with the addition of one of RaceAmerica"s Timeslip Printers. RaceAmerica offers printer packages and printer cables to connect printers to the XL timing system for printing on the track, or connect to the PC for printing in the tower.

How are the track cables routed down the track to the finish line, speed, and intermediate ET sensors? Cables can be routed down the routed OUTSIDE the track from start to finish or routed down the CENTERLINE of the track. When routed outside each lane, a dual sided IR Beam Emitter is placed between the lanes encased in a Custom Protective Foam Stand. The Beam Emitters are operated from four C-style flashlight batteries hidden in the Foam Stand. This eliminates all cabling from the racing surface and eliminates the need to run power to all the track electronics.

What if my track length is not a standard length? RaceAmerica sells a wide variety of cable lengths. Standard lengths include 500 foot and 660 foot cables for snowmobile applications, 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile for fullsize dragstrip applications, and 300 foot cables for ATV and Mud Bog racing applications. RaceAmerica can custom manufacture a cable to match your track length from as short as a few feet to as long as a 1/4 mile.
