As you can see in this 6 lap race, Rider 2 went out hot but rider 1 caught him on lap 3 and continued on to win.
I'll make a much more user friendly output. But, I'm happy to have the buttons logging as expected
That was fast!!
As far as bluetooth-- don't use BLE, it's useful for trackers like tile where you want the battery to last a year, but you don't need that. Crank up the power as much as you can! 100 m range will cover anything on a 250 m track. Doing 200 m times (e.g. with two tapes) in a 333 or larger could be tricky, but if regular bluetooth will cover a longer range you should be ok.
