The only problems we ran into came when we wanted to move 3 cars into the semifinal round, the software was not lettings us do that very well.

Need a connector for the Racemaster to PC
I have a laptop with a parallel port and I noticed that the racemaster finish line sensor board has a 9 pin female connector on it. Where can I get a 9 pin male with a parallel connector to connect to the laptop at? Our GranPrix is tomorrow night.
Any and all help is appreciated!
Steve
