I dunno if their prices are always discounted, but I came across this website from Google searching.* I ordered my AIM lap timer and got it in two days.* Prices are good and there's no tax!

The Infrared Transmitter-Receiver Kit ( INFRARED KIT ) has unique features in its kind, indeed each Transmitter has a personal factory code wich makes it different from the others, this makes absolutely safe the identification of your reference and voids the lap time being modified by other similar devices, it's not enough indeed "blind" the system for a few secons after it has received the signal of a transmitter to void mistakes: for example, if while you are running the lap the first transmitter in the beginning of the pit wall is taken away for the respective driver has retired, going in the straight you'll receive the pulse of the first next transmitter within many meters of difference from the point where you started the lap; if arrives the usual late man, who, after the practice has started, goes in the beginning of the pits, going in the straight your chrono will show a lap time as fantastic as unreal. The same if you have a product with settable channels, you'll know only after losing a practice session that somebody else is working on your same channel. All this can not happen with Pole Star thanks to the code of beach transmitter. A team with many drivers or a group of friends with Stealth can however put just one Transmitter in the pits thank to the automatic code keeping (like a car alarm). All the Receivers of the group will recognize the same STARLANE Transmitter but will be completely immune from other systems.

You mean what do lap timers do in general? It's basically a fancy stopwatch. It gets triggered by a signal from a transmitter placed at trackside.

No, the hilarious copywriting on that page was just too much. Totally nonsensical. I'm looking at one of these instead: http://www.norcalevo.net/forum/index.php/topic,12107

That driftbox is a fugging rip off at $750. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon and trying to cash in.

This is much better for the money if you want something like that. $299 for the top end one that does data logging as well. The $200 ones does the same stuff as the driftbox minus the track overlay GPS.

For track timing, the lap timers are much much better.
