I'm frankly amazed at how one woman could track so many cars lap times at a race track with one stopwatch, - Oh and go 24hrs without a bathroom break. :swoon:
I tip my hat to you Judy. :good:
How times and processes have changed.

That is absolutely amazing! I remember working a mechanical stop watch tracking lap times on just one car & having my hands full.
It also makes me realize what a marvel the modern timing & scoring screen is.
For you young folk who have never seen on, a mechanical stop watch is that strange looking device they show at the beginning of the 60 Minutes TV show. ;)
