There is always a great debate with drag races over who won. First off the pad is sometimes the criteria, other times first to XXXX altitude or speed. But it is usually a judgment call of those watching.
Howa bouta a device that is triggered by the motor ignition current to start a timer? The accelerometer data could give an indication of time to get off the pad and could also give time to altitude or speed.
Another benefit would be to compare results of rockets not launched against each other, like the car guys do. They could even be at different events and it would make it possible for a real record to be established.
