    So, a friend wants to build a set of unofficial WERA starting boards to use for practice starts. He'd like to get the dimensions (of boards themselves and the writing on them)

    Does anyone have them?

    Thanks,

    Richard

    Yep, the boards won't matter nor will the timing until you know who is doing the flags.

    If you want to practice starts go to the drag strip, that will get your end of it down pat.

    Your friend is only going to train himself to react to the buddy holding the board for him. His time will be better invested at the local dragstrip.

    If you knew him....

    And anyway, if you're going to do something, might as well do it right!

    Ooooookaaaaaaay. :D

    I agree with the others, practice at a drag strip is much more useful.

    The drag strip thing is more than opinion - it's a better answer than me giving you the board sizes.
