Sled monitor.

Would there be anyone interested in a non-uber expensive version of the sled monitor? I am about 60% of the way complete with my own version. What got me to starting on this a couple weeks ago is that our tractor club is looking to buy a second sled monitor for in our announcer's booth. The second unit costs $1150 plus our first one never had provisions for wireless. There is a fee for that to be upgraded also. I have some setup menus to configure, some enclosures to make, and some cleaning up under the hoods to do yet. For now, I have the circuitry for the sled unit able to read the pulses of the sprocket, convert it to feet and display it on the lcd to the 100th of an inch. Every 1/2 second (or whatever interval I decide) the distance is also broadcast wirelessly to the booth module. I have about a 100 yard range currently between the 2 units. MPH will be easy to calculate. Provisions for the speed limit will also be easy to add. Let me know your thoughts. If interested, I can shoot you pics of the progress also. I hope to be able to incorporate every feature that the sled monitor does, maybe better.
 
I may be interested in a complete set up as we are now gathering parts for a sled build. I would like to know an approx. cost and maybe a few pics. E-mail is open. Thanks, Brad.
