Features
Everything your current timing system
should have been
No laptop. No trained operator. No single point of failure. ConeTime handles the entire timing pipeline so you can focus on running a great event — not babysitting equipment.
No More Laptops at the Track
Traditional timing means a laptop in a parking lot — serial cables, sun glare, dead batteries, and one person who knows how to run it. ConeTime replaces all of that with self-contained gate hardware that connects directly to the cloud via WiFi. Use a mobile hotspot or on-site network. Set up, power on, done.
- Industrial-grade infrared sensors with 40m detection range
- ESP32-S3 microcontroller with GPS time synchronization
- IP67-rated sensors in a weather-resistant enclosure — rain or shine
- Runs 15+ hours on a standard 10,000 mAh USB-C power bank
Results on Every Phone, Instantly
No more crowding around a poster board. No more "are results up yet?" With ConeTime, times appear on every driver's phone the second a run completes. Class standings, PAX, raw times — all updated in real time via WebSocket push. No refreshing, no delays.
- WebSocket push — results appear as runs complete
- Class standings, PAX, and raw times in one view
- Export to CSV for regional or national reporting
Your Club's Brand, Not Ours
Other timing solutions paste their brand everywhere. ConeTime puts your club front and center — your logo, your colors, your custom subdomain like yourclub.conetime.com. When drivers open results, they see your club — not a generic timing platform.
- Custom subdomain per club
- Club logo in header, club name as page title
- PWA install with club branding and icon
Every Run, Captured Automatically
Drivers love seeing photos of their runs — but nobody wants to scroll through 400 photos on Facebook to find theirs. ConeTime's built-in cameras capture every car at the gate and automatically match photos to runs. Drivers see their shots right alongside their times.
- OV5640 camera built into gate hardware
- Automatic car identification matching
- Photos linked to runs in driver results view
No More Spreadsheet Scoring
ConeTime implements the current SCCA Solo Rulebook scoring rules out of the box. Adjusted time, PAX indexing, cone penalties, DNFs, re-runs, multi-course combined scoring, tie-breaking — all calculated automatically, correctly, every time. No spreadsheets. No "I think the formula is wrong."
- Current PAX/RTP index values
- Cone penalties, DNF handling, re-runs
- Multi-course and combined scoring
WiFi Goes Down? Timing Doesn't.
Traditional systems fail completely when something disconnects. ConeTime gates automatically fall back to a local server if WiFi drops — timing continues uninterrupted. A captive portal provides on-site results. Everything syncs to the cloud when connectivity returns. Zero downtime.
- Automatic failover — no manual switching
- Local captive portal for on-site results
- Full sync when connectivity restores
Runs From Every Phone
No app to download. No special hardware for spectators. ConeTime is a mobile-first web app with a dark theme built for outdoor readability. Drivers add it to their home screen, event staff manage runs from their phones, and spectators follow along live.
- Add-to-home-screen on iOS and Android
- Dark theme for bright outdoor readability
- Role-based views: admin, starter, cone counter, results
Nothing to Install, Maintain, or Update
No software licenses. No version upgrades. No server to manage. ConeTime runs on AWS serverless infrastructure — always up to date, always available. Your club gets enterprise-grade reliability without anyone playing IT.
- AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, CloudFront
- Multi-tenant with full data isolation
- Serverless architecture scales with your club
