No frills gps lap timer??? - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

The Hot Lap timer went away with the last car sold, and my wife is bugging me to put something "affordable" on my Christmas list. (I didn't think the 4-post lift and T2R were THAT unreasonable)

No complaints about the Hot Lap ... well, there was one time when it seemed like about a dozen guys had set up beacons ... but I'm drawn to the simplicity of a GPS based lap timer. When I search for different possibilities, I just find $1000+ models that record every variable imaginable.

Does anyone know of a "basic" GPS timer system out there for, say, under $500 that just times laps? Future expansion to full data acquisition would be great, but at this point I just want lap times.
