Hopefully, I didn't mispeak. I had thought Best Track provided a bracket. I know Piantedosi does. You can see it on page 4 of this timer manual http://www.microwizard.com/downloads/in ... ctions.pdf.

Anyways, it is worth a call to Best Track to find out for sure.

We added a timer to our Piantedosi track this year.
I worked for several weeks to make sure that everything was going to go smoothly.

About 1 month before the race, I realized that we did not have the bracket to attach the microswitch. 1 call to Piantedosi corrected that problem. It would have been very embarrassing on race day if we did not have the bracket.

When in doubt, call the manufacturer.
