Best Timer for a DIY Engineer

I just ordered a 42 foot two lane BestTrack and am in need of a timing system. Was thinking about using a PLC but the scan time will most likely be too long. Any suggestions on what I should buy and / or build? I am open to either purchasing a complete unit or I can cobble a kit together. I also want the serial interface to a PC so I can use race software.

Any recommendations? Cheap is my friend :D

See my YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7ddm4JIcMs and if you're interested in my design approach, shoot me an email at billv923@outlook.com and I'll send you all the details to build your own. I also have a version that interfaces with the GranPrix Race Manager software.
