I was at the shack today and saw a new ZipZaps lap counter/timer. It tracks laps upto 6 total and lap times and also your speed and stuff. Wife was buggin me to come'on so i didnt get a full detail or price but thought i'd leave a heads up. Maybe Cj cccan get us more info.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. :-)
Are you sure it was for the zz and not the xmod? I thought I heard that one was coming out for the xmods, didn't hear anything about a zz lap timer.

I hope it works better than the Microsizer one. You can read my impression on that here:

Yes it was zipzap brand and it was on a rack near the register, not near the main zz section, almost missed it.

I saw it in the RS mail ad. $9.99, and it looks like it snaps into the ZZ track barrier pieces. I think it just tracks 6 LAPS and TIMES, not 6 cars. For $9.99, I imagine it's a lot like the MS one.
