We set the PC to automatically call out lap times. If you don't hear a time (or the beep when the car crosses the line), then you missed.
The person calling the race also announces any breakout.
One of my racing buddies uses FlipSide for scoring at his home Mini-Z track, and he dug into the software to make the computer automatically announce "Breakout", followed by the driver and the offending lap time. Neat!
