Buzz,
Now you have out done yourself, but now both cars might now hit the wall

Either a tree or an arm drop is cool. We just won't be sweating hitting it exactly, I guess.

Can do...once you assolutely finalize what's gonna be used to start each of you off. You indicate a couple of posts above the quoted one that you're still open to using a tree, just not both of you at once.
If you use a tree (either alone or with the cobra), you still run the risk of redlighting. Harder to call jumping-the-gun with an arm or bra drop. Breaking an electric beam versus visual observation.
If you want the best way to record the actual times of the two cars with the least amount of intervention by driver's response times, etc., use what we use in SCCA Solo events (autocrossing...we use a tree in ProSolo)...the time starts when the car breaks the beam (no tree countdown...leave when you want). That's how they time the celebs and the Stig on Top Gear.
If your bet is based on which car is faster, all things being equal driver-wise (sort of), then that's the way to go.
If, however, it's you versus your buddy with your two steeds...and taking into account your comparative reflexes and steadiness, then both of you ought to man up and run together using a tree.
...just sayin

"Assactly!" If you're not out there together then you're not racing one another. Cowboy the **** up!
