clarification:does the problem have to do with the guide being pushed up or the led bulb being pushed up? or another way to ask, does the led bulb need to be a certain height from the sensor before it fails to register or is it the guide blade that's more imprtant and needs to be closer to teh sensor? Thanks

Is this the sport guides your talking about, prof motor part #C8420?

yes it is and it has worked everytime to fix the missed lap issue on cars that don't record every lap. It has happaned 4 times out of 30 cars. A pain. Those blades are darn expensive, $6 bucks a pop. To much to fix a problem that Scaly should fix.
The braid thing is genuis and one of those obvisous things..... Also, stretching the blade has potential..... might be time to try a mod on the infraed sensor get it higher in it's slot.....
Love the idea of maiking it pc based or some such as Injectorman mentioned....
