The company I worked for was in the slot car racing magazine/track building business and they used the C-64 for a race management/track monitoring system. They designed a controller board that fit in a 3X5 box, designed to monitor the 6 lanes of a standard slot car track. It used dead Track segments to trigger the lap time and counter, displaying it all real-time on the monitor or external display of choice. Once a race was finished, it would display the race stats and prompt the racers to rotate to the next lane. After all said and done, we had the option to send the race results to the printer for all to peruse and brag about. There was talk about burning the track program to EPROM for cartridges, but it didn't get that far. It got as far as having a production run made of the relay board assembly. It sold well and it was regarded as one of the better track managers.

That is fascinating. Do you have any pictures of this in action? Either from the racetrack or screen pictures of the program?
