This is the best idea I have ever seen for a starting gate. We used it for the first time at the Mardi Gras Nitro Open and it was awesome. Now TQ'ing actually means something instead of a melee gate start for the mains, or people flaming out IFMAR style. Let me know what you all think. Kurt Delaune of TriCity RC gets all the credit for the design, electrical work, etc.

Man that is awesome, I have never TQ'ed myself but I would definately favour that set-up if I was TQ at the nationals or some other big event- do you have any plans available? :idea:
