Title: Simple finish gate idea
Post by: KCSteve on April 05, 2021, 09:16:37 am
Steve,

I've been thinking about a simple finish gate for the 04/05/21 racing game.  The best I can come up with is a pair of pegs on the outside of the finish.  Slot down the center of the pegs from the top, then string a strip of toilet or tissue paper across the track.  It should either break or pull out of the slot showing which car won the race.

I was trying to think of something with a wooden flag and the best I could come up with was using gate bars hinged on the outside that pull out from under a center structure so it tips over into the winning track but it kept getting way too complicated.
