Is timing still captured during lapped races?
I'm thinking Rolex 24, 24 of Sebring, Daytona 500, Pepsi 400, Grand Prix, Le Mans, etc. Omega/Swatch for the Olympics.

Non-government, non-direct tax-payer-funding via government, government contractors, or government suppliers is what they are going for with non-traditional funding sources. Congress does funny things sometimes and FIRST needs to be sustained without Congress providing the funding for FIRST indirectly through a funnel from NASA etc. and the KoP suppliers who's primary customer is the Fed.
