How does everyone keep time at open road events? Are handheld GPS units legal, or do they have to be bolted down?

I velcro-ed a lap-timer style stopwatch to my dash above the radio with the "lap" button facing me. After a few laps I figured out where I wasn't really doing anything other than holding it to the floor and chose that as my "lap" spot. When doing any manual system like this, keep in mind the error that you can introduce in consecutive laps. For instance, a blazing time surrounded by two slow times could mean that you were late/early on banging the button on those surrounding laps.
A better way is to get someone who is not driving to do this for you. |
